RIO DE JANEIRO - British track and field was under the spotlight on Friday as it remained one of the few sports in the nations golden Games that was struggling to meet its medal target.While Team GB has smashed its overall goal of 47 medals or more by some distance thanks in large part to high achievers in cycling, swimming and gymnastics, the marquee sport of athletics has lagged behind.Mo Farahs 10,000 metre gold success apart, the performance so far has been a little underwhelming. Jess Ennis-Hill was pleased with her silver heptathlon medal but failed to defend her title, Greg Rutherford was very frustrated with his long jump bronze and the only other medallist has been Sophie Hitchons bronze in the hammer.It is a far cry from the headline moments of London four years ago when Team GB collected four golds from track and field, and six medals overall. It is also three medals short of the target set for athletics by funding body UK Sport.The sport was given ￡26.8 million for the years 2013-2017 in the hope of building on the success of 2012 and was set a target of winning a minimum of seven medals, with the upper end of the target range nine medals.There have been some near misses, such as Adam Gemili being beaten to a bronze by three thousandths of a second as he finished fourth in the Olympic 200m final won by Usain Bolt. And Farah still has the chance to defend his 5,000m title.But beyond Britains golden runner, the best hopes of more medals lie in the 4x100m relay finals, mens and womens, which are due to take place in the early hours of Saturday UK time, and the womens 800m in which Lynsey Sharp made the final. She is due to run early Sunday morning British time.

He performed excellently for Lancashire last year and is also useful with the bat lower down the order. Hopefully he can help us hit the ground running in 2017. ' ' '
