James Ellington: 'Great Britain relay team can go faster'

British sprinter James Ellington promises that the relay team can go quicker in the final of the 4x100m relay.

James Ellington has insisted that Great Britain's 4x100m men's relay team can go faster after they posted a season-best time in qualifying for the final at the World Athletics Championships.

Ellington, Richard Kilty, Harry Aikines-Aryeetey and Danny Talbot got the baton around in 38.20s, finishing just behind the USA in their heat.

The 29-year-old told British Athletics' website: "The main thing was just to get through safely. I think all of us were just being a bit too cautious. I know I waited until Harry was on his check mark before I went and probably the same for these guys.

"Mine and Danny's change could have been a bit quicker, we were coming around at the same time and it could have been a bit quicker. We're going to push it to the limits in the final."

Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago were the only other sides to go faster than the British quartet.
