BBC WM SportCoventry sprinter Marlon Devonish says the World Indoor Athletics Championships being held in the West Midlands could inspire a new generation of athletes.
Devonish who represented the Coventry Godiva club for many years is encouraging people to register their interest for the championships which will be held at Birmingham's NIA in exactly one year.
Image source, EmpicsQuote MessageIt’s great watching on TV, and I encourage that, but there’s no comparison to being able to watch it as a spectator – to see how quickly we’re moving, and how far we’re throwing, and you get the real essence – I’d like to see children and adults involved, thinking ‘I want to be able to try that, I think I can do that’. If you get those thought processes going, you plant that seed, you never know what can happen – and it happens – I remember watching Linford Christie.
Marlon Devonish, Sprinter
Image source, EmpicsDevonish isn't so sure where the time has gone - it's now 14 years since he took gold.
He says: "I remember it very clearly. It was one of my highest accolades, the highest thing I achieved in my athletics career, and I hold it very dear to my heart.”

Read MoreCaught driving using a phone: £200 fine should go to local police force published at 15:34 Greenwich Mean Time 1 March 2017
Stephanie Barnard
BBC Local LiveThe police and crime commissioner for the West Midlands is calling for the £200 fine for drivers caught using their mobile phones to be given to local forces to fund the enforcement of the tougher law.
Image source, DEPARTMENT FOR TRANSPORTDavid Jamieson, a former transport minister says he welcomes the new tougher measure which he originally helped introduce in 2003 , but should be given to the police forces to help enforce it.
In 2003, when the ban of mobile phones while driving was introduced, came with a £30 fine if drivers were caught using a mobile.
Today, the government has announced a £200 fine and six points after a rise in road deaths. In 2015, 22 people were killed and 99 seriously injured in accidents where a driver was using their phone.
Quote MessageMy force has lost 2,000 officers in the last seven years, that means the blue line is thinner and the capacity for officers to enforce this is more and more difficult. Last year I wrote to the Secretary of State for Transport asking for fines to be recycled back to local police forces so it could be used for enforcement, rather than the tax payer paying for this measure. The level of enforcement at the minute is nowhere near that which the public expect. I'm not calling for new public money, what I am saying is, let the people who have offended, let them pay for the enforcement.
David Jamieson , West Midlands police and crime commissioner
We have contacted the Department for Transport and are awaiting a response.
