Carl Lewis was watching trackside in the Manchester rain as Hinchliffe triumphed on Saturday.
Louie Hinchliffe insists he will head to Paris with no expectations but believing he can win after storming to the forefront of the British sprinting scene.
With a fastest time of 9.95 seconds under his belt this year, the US collegiate champion’s latest victory, in a time of 10.18 in cold and wet conditions, secured him a spot on Team GB for this summer’s Olympics.“I won’t really have any expectations,” said the 21-year-old. “I’ll just go into it with not much in my head, no predictions. I’ll just try and get the win, basically.
“Two years ago these guys were beating me by a large margin,” said Hinchliffe, who prior to going to university wanted to pursue a career in golf rather than athletics.“I didn’t take it that seriously before. Now I’ve got the right people around me. I’m getting pushed every day, working hard. “Carl’s made a massive difference. He’s a nine-time Olympic champion but he’s also well-accomplished in lots of other areas. He keeps me on the right track.”
