British high jumper Robbie Grabarz has said that he has already turned his attention to next year's Olympics in Rio after missing out on a place in the final at the World Athletics Championships in Beijing.
The 27-year-old, who won the bronze medal in London in 2012, was unable to clear the distance required to progress to tomorrow's final.
Grabarz told the British Athletics website: "Rio, it's Olympic year, that's exciting enough and I'm not starting a winter hampered by my body this year, I'm starting it in the best shape of my life physically, so that's a nice feeling to take forward, albeit to a long cold winter in Birmingham.
"It is nice having that feeling in my mind that I can come in higher than everyone else and get a couple of clean sheets, but when the bar went up I probably just tried a little too hard, it's always the way.
"This surface is unforgiving if you do anything wrong, if you do it right you get massive rewards. Unfortunately I didn't do it right at the bar that was critical but as the same time, my body is absolutely fine now so I am happy."
The British champion missed last year with a knee injury.
