Defending 100m champion Usain Bolt revealed in 2008 that his love of chicken was behind his Beijing success and now Royston-based poultry farmer Tom Wornham wants to ensure Team GB’s Gemili is on an even field when he takes on the Jamaican.

Gemili, just 18-years-old, became the fastest British junior of all time this month (July) when he won gold in the World Junior Championships 100m in 10.05 seconds.
