British sprinter Louie Hinchliffe has announced his decision to turn professional after winning an Olympic medal in Paris this summer.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 22-year-old has enjoyed a dramatic rise, culminating in helping the British relay team take bronze in the men’s 4×100 metres.<\/p>\n

Hinchliffe will forego his final year at the University of Houston – where he trained under nine-time Olympic gold medallist Carl Lewis – to pursue sprinting professionally.<\/p>\n

In June he became US college (NCAA) 100m champion after clocking 9.95secs, and claimed victory at the British Championships later that month to qualify for the Paris Games.<\/p>\n

Hinchliffe just missed out on a place in the 100m final, but claimed a medal with bronze in the relay event alongside team-mates Zharnel Hughes, Jeremiah Azu and Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
