Stephanie Twell, one of Britain's leading hopes for the London Olympics in 2012, showed her prodigious talent yesterday by winning the 1500m at the world junior championships in Bydgoszcz, Poland. But such is the growing reputation of the double European junior cross-country champion that she could be on the plane to Beijing too. The 18-year-old from Aldershot burst clear with 200 metres left to triumph in 4min 15.09sec with her team-mate Emma Pallant, 19, taking bronze in 4:17.09, just behind the Ethiopian Kalkidan Gezahegne, who was second in 4:16.58.
