CALGARY - Jessica Zelinka may be Canadas busiest track and field athlete in London. cheap jerseys . The Canadian record-holder in the heptathlon hasnt completely ruled out racing the hurdles at the London Olympics as well, says her coach Les Gramantik, after posting a couple of world-class hurdles times this season. The London, Ont., native, who was fifth in the heptathlon at the 2008 Beijing Games, is competing in both events at the Canadian Olympic track and field trials this week, and is one of six women in a jam-packed hurdles field who has achieved the Olympic qualifying standard in that event. "Ill talk to her, right now honestly it has to be a very interesting decision to do a hurdles race in London as well as heptathlon," Gramantik said. Zelinka overcame chilly, blustery conditions to run 12.76 seconds in the hurdles on Day 1 of the heptathlon Wednesday, matching the time the 30-year-old ran last month to win the Harry Jerome Classic in Burnaby, B.C. The only Canadian quicker this season is Olympic bronze medallist Priscilla Lopes-Schliep, whose 12.64 is currently fifth-fastest in the world. The opening round of the hurdles in London is two days after the heptathlon ends. "Its not impossible but they are hard runs and many races," Gramantik said. "Here she could probably qualify (for London) with a 13.0-seconds run, but youre not going to get out of the semifinals or quarter-finals in London with 13 seconds. "But the other thing, the rest of the world isnt running very fast. The U.S. trials was won in 12.77, slower than her time here." Gramantik said he and Zelinka, a six-time Canadian heptathlon champion, will decide after Saturdays hurdles final whether to double in London. Athletics Canada will name its London team on Sunday morning. "Im not trying to build any suspense, Oh, whats it going to be? Really, we dont know," said the veteran multi-events coach. "If things go well and she does really well here, Ill be happy to have the two (hurdles) races, and close the book on hurdles for this year." Canada enjoys an embarrassment of riches in womens hurdles, but only three Canadian women can compete in London. The other women who have achieved the qualifying standard are 10-time Canadian champion Perdita Felicien, Angela Whyte, who was sixth at the 2004 Athens Olympics, and Nikkita Holder and Phylicia George, sixth and seventh respectively at last summers world championships. Felicien, who trains with Zelinka in Calgary, joked about her training partners recent rise up the hurdles ranks at the opening news conference Tuesday. "The field is the deepest its ever been," Felicien said. "And thanks Jessica for joining the fray." Gramantik hasnt been surprised by Zelinkas fast hurdles times this season. "Shes always had superb abilities as a hurdler," Gramantik said. "She could have been a world-class hurdler if she chose to, if that event wasnt so boring. . . one event is boring in her mind, she likes to do a lot of different things (the heptathlon is seven events), otherwise she could have been very successful in hurdles too." nfl jerseys china .
