Danny Talbot: 'I can smash personal best'

Team England 200m runner Danny Talbot has insisted that he can go "a lot faster" than his current personal best at the Commonwealth Games.

Talbot cruised into the semi-finals at Hampden Park this morning, winning his heat in a time of 20.56s to comfortably make the last four.

The 23-year-old ran at nowhere near full steam, yet he still managed to finished just 0.2s off his personal best, making him confident that he can set a new benchmark this summer in Glasgow.

"I've been around my PB a lot this season in different conditions, mainly into headwind, so I feel that if the conditions are good I should get a lot faster than my PB," Talbot told Sports Mole.

"But, now we're at the championships, times don't really matter, it's just trying to get through the semi-finals tomorrow and then take it one step at a time."

The men's 200m final takes place at 9.10pm tomorrow night.
