Darren Campbell: There’s been a sea of change

Darren Campbell is certain Britain’s team in Moscow for the World Athletics Championships next week will be the most confident track and field squad ever to leave these shores. The reason, he says, is: “Our sense of inferiority towards the Americans has gone. Now no British athlete is scared of them. There has been a sea change.

“I used to stand on the starting line against the Americans and they’d talk of getting out of the ghetto and how they had made it. You would hear all this American talk and you’d be afraid.
