After securing a place at the Rio Olympics, race walker Tom Bosworth said his overriding emption was one of relief.

The Tonbridge AC star won the TeamGB 20km race walking trials near his base in Leeds on Sunday morning to rubber-stamp his place on the plane.

The Sevenoaks-born star had already achieved the Olympic qualifying time with his national record time of 80:41 set in Slovakia in March, and won the trial at Woodhouse Moor in warm conditions in a time of 86:17.

Bosworth said: "It's a relief, more than anything. The job is done. Now I can start looking forward to it. This isn't the end of the journey. I'm not going to stop working hard. Now I am there I want to show what I can do."

Four years ago Bosworth was just 19 seconds short of the qualifying time for London 2012 in a race lasting more than an hour and 20 minutes and admitted: "I have thought about that number a lot since then - luckily this year the time was one thing I didn't have to worry about.

"I had to tick all the boxes and I've done that. I had the time behind me but I couldn't afford to be complacent. I am lucky enough to have a built a bit of a gap on my competition but I still had to go out there, focus and make sure I have got automatic selection."

The 26-year-old admitted that thoughts of a podium finish were his dream, he wanted to improve on his showing at the World Championships in Beijing last year when he was outside the top-20.

He said: "Hopefully I can continue to get better. It might be a bit unrealistic to be talking about medals this time, but if I can get around my PB then who knows - I am certainly going to be a lot higher than I was at the Worlds.

"This summer will also be great experience to have behind me in four years time."

He added: "I cannot wait to go. I'm looking forward to it all but the thought of being on the start line is the one that keeps coming back to me.

"The most important thing, now I am there, is that I make the most of it.

"The whole season has gone pretty much perfectly so far, I have several weeks of altitude training coming up. I have done everything I possibly could to give myself the best chance."

Another Kent athlete hoping to be on the TeamGB plane to Rio, Jack Green, ran his second fastest 400m Hurdles time since the London 2012 Olympics to win his latest race in Bratislava on Saturday.

The 24-year-old won the race in 49.39secs - inside the qualification mark for Rio finishing four tenths of a second ahead of India's Jithin Paul with GB's Niall Flannery in fifth in 51.00secs.

The time was just eight hundredths slower than the 49.31secs he ran at the Diamond League meeting in Doha in May 2015.

Green is back in action in the Josef Odlozil Memorial meeting in Prague on Monday evening.

Adam Gemili was a surprise sixth in the Diamond League 100m at Birmingham's Alexander Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

After an untidy start the 22-year-old Dartford ace could only finish in 10.29secs.

Kim Collins took the victory in 10.11secs just ahead of American Mike Rodgers in a photo with GB's CJ Ujah in third one hundredth of a second behind Collins.

Dina Asher-Smith, 20, from Orpington was fourth in the women's 100m in 11.22secs, though she had qualified from her heat in a season's best 11.08secs, well inside the qualifying time for Rio.

Bobby Clay's prediction of a new PB came true as she stormed to a time of 4.10.61 over 1,500m at the Alexander Stadium.

The Wingham wonder, 19, finished fourth in the Diamond League Development race but in a time 1.59secs faster than her previous best set 12 months earlier.

The British Championships - which form the TeamGB trials for Rio - will be held back at Birmingham on June 24-26.
