For Jason Gardener – who was this week announced as the World Athletics ambassador for the World Athletics Relays Silesia21 on 1-2 May – it all started at the World U20 Championships.
His 4x100m success as a teenager at the 1994 edition of the event in Lisbon was to set the tone for more than a decade of international relay duty, which was capped by that 2004 Olympic gold medal win for Britain in Athens.
There were many great individual achievements too, of course, with a world and four European indoor 60m golds gained between 2000 and 2007, but it was the 4x100m in which the ‘Bath Bullet’ won the Olympic title he had always dreamed of.

After 18 months of intense preparations, plans for the World Athletics Relays Silesia21 are now in the final stages, with just one month to go until the event.
On 1-2 May, the Silesian Stadium in Chorzow, Poland, will welcome more than 1000 athletes across 150 relay teams and the Silesian Voivodeship assembly chairman Jakub Chelstowski says the organisation will be “100 percent ready” when the first teams arrive in late April.
“It seems like we only became the host recently, and yet over one and a half years have passed,” said Chelstowski. “Now, just as runners on a relay team, we are on the final leg, entering the finishing straight.
