Joe's ready to go for gold

SWIM star Joe Roebuck is ready to chase a Commonwealth Games gold -and insists that anything another than continuing his 2010 medal rush will be a disappointment.

The 25-year-old will gun for top spot in the troubled Delhi games, with his quest getting under way next week.

Rotherham Metro product Roebuck sprung a surprise 200m medley bronze medal at the European Championships this summer, despite far from full preparations ahead of the trip to Budapest.

But he is only too aware that he must deliver where it matters most; in India.

“The Europeans went well and that was the plan, to go there and race well and I will take a lot of confidence from it into Delhi,” he said.

"Ihave always known what is there, it was just a case of getting it out there and now I have hopefully people are starting to see that and hopefully I can show them once again in Delhi."
