TAMPA - One of Britain's best hurdlers, an Olympic finalist, as well as two other former Olympians recently came to Tampa to visit an old friend and train on the new track at the University of South Florida.

Husband-and-wife combinations Chris and Jana Rawlinson and Matt and Hannah Douglas (pictured above) spent more than a week at USF working out in the strength and conditioning room at USF as well as training on USF's new Mondo surface track, considered the fastest, most durable track surfaces around.

BullsVision caught up with the two couples as they explained what brought them to the Sunshine state and what they thought of USF's new facilities in the weight room and especially at the USF Track & Field Stadium.

In addition, BullsVision also caught on camera a couple of USF's athletes getting tips and coaching from Matt about their technique over the hurdles.

Matt and Chris competed in the 2000 and the 2004 Olympics for Britain in the 400 hurdles and are good friends with former USF track and field standout Kemel Thompson, who ran in both Olympics as well and is now the Varsity Club Director with the Bulls. Chris was a two-time European champion and the winner at the 2002 Commonwealth Games.

Both finished sixth in their semifinal heats at the 2000 Olympics. Now retired from competition, Matt and Chris now spend their time coaching their wives, Jana Pittman-Rawlinson and Hannah Douglas.

Pittman-Rawlinson was an Olympic finalist at the 2004 Athens Olympics, finishing fifth in the final of the 400 hurdles, and also competed in Sydney in 2000. She won the hurdles title at the 2002 and 2006 Commonwealth Games and helped her home country of Australia take home gold in the 4x400 relay at both Games as well.

After battling numerous injuries throughout her career, including a toe injury that prevented her from running at the 2008 Olympics and a hamstring injury that did the same for the 2009 World Championships, Pittman-Rawlinson is aiming for an injury-free summer of competition and also gearing towards a shot at the 2012 Olympics in London.

Hannah, a full-time teacher and a top 5 hurdler in Britain, is looking to run well this summer and continue her rising career.
