Phillips Headlines Star Field

Idowu is the favourite in a star studded line up in Sweden which includes old rival Olsson

The Samsung Galan in Gothenburg, Sweden shall be showcasing some of the world's most talented triple jumpers tomorrow as World Champion Phillips Idowu looks to continue his 2009 form into 2010. Idowu has already won his first event of the year but will face much stiffer competition in Sweden with former champions Christian Olsson of Sweden and Walter Davis of the USA competing as well as world indoor silver medallist David Giralt, former two-time world silver medallist Yoandris Betanzos and Berlin bronze medallist Alexis Copello all from Cuba.

Much of the talk in Sweden is about Idowu's rivalry with Christian Olsson being reignited but Phillips will be concentrating on jumping well as preparation to the World Indoor Championships, where he will head to Doha, Qatar as favourite to defend his crown having already established himself firmly as the world's number 1.
