UK Athletics Chair Ed Warner insists that his organization is giving “value for money” despite two more of Team GB’s "leading stars moving abroad," according to Matt Dickinson of the LONDON TIMES. Katarina Johnson-Thompson is "set to take up residence in France while Adam Gemili has joined the exodus to the Netherlands to work with coach Rana Reider." Their departures follow a number of Britain’s "most notable track and field performers who have headed overseas," such as Mo Farah and Greg Rutherford, who are based in the U.S., while Shara Proctor, the long jumper, has followed Reider to the Netherlands along with Desiree Henry and fellow sprinters Tiffany Porter and Martyn Rooney. The exodus has "raised questions about the merit of UK Athletics pouring resources into an elite performance centre" in the east Midlands but Warner insists that the base "helps many athletes and that his organisation is comfortable with so many overseas-based stars." Warner said, "We probably have much more direct influence on emerging athletes than a number of other sports. ... You can't impose a cookie-cutter solution. Back to Seb Coe training with his father, that's the history of athletics" (LONDON TIMES, 12/29).
