DANNY Talbot is adamant that the Great Britain men’s sprint relay squad has put their problems behind Kevin Fahey.

The Trowbridge Tornado was the one sprinter who emerged unscathed from the fall-out of the botched baton changeover in the final of the World Championships in Beijing, which probably cost the team a medal.

UK number one 100m man CJ Ujah, who had been brought into the final for Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, failed to get the baton off James Ellington for the last leg, prompting lead-off man Richard Kilty to question Ujah’s final selection.

The public spat was quickly picked up the media and in response, the GB management was forced to call an emergency meeting of the squad to sort out the issues.

“We had a meeting and everyone was allowed to have their say and it became clear that certain comments had been misrepresented,” said Talbot.

“Richard was upset but not particularly with C J and more because he knew we had missed a good chance of winning a medal.

“We all know that and it was disappointing. But we had the meeting to clear the air and at the end of it, we all shook hands and agreed to move on.

“If there is no cohesion in the squad, then there is no chance whatsoever of winning a medal at a major championships and I think we all recognise that. I would say that the team seems back together now.”

As for his own individual ambitions, Talbot couldn’t have been more pleased to have returned home as the 13th fastest man in the 200m field and having improved his best to 20.27secs in the semi-finals, which he started alongside Usain Bolt.

“It was an amazing experience and to run a PB shows that the plan devised by Dan (coach Dan Cossins) worked perfectly,” added Talbot.

“But clearly I am going to have to push the boundaries even further next year if I want to reach the final of the Olympics. I will have to go beyond just running a PB and start running 20-20.10secs, such is the standard in the 200m now. Overall, I am really happy with my season and I just cannot wait to start my winter training again.”
