Wilkinson puts in masterful performance to win bronze
Luton AC’s Des Wilkinson claimed a bronze medal in a closely-fought M50 110m hurdles final at the World Masters Athletics Championships in Porto Alegre, Brazil, on October 25.
Having won his semi-final, the 50-year-old from Stockwood clocked 14.67secs in a closely-fought final as he was beaten to gold and silver by two USA athletes as the three were separated by only 0.09secs in a dip for the line.
He said: “I am very pleased with my year’s efforts having won the British Masters Indoor in a British record, European Championship Indoors for 60m hurdles and now I’m a World bronze medallist.”
