POLICE Sergeant Richie Gardiner has his sights set on a place in the Beijing Olympics when he competes in the London Marathon.
Dad-of-two Richie will be looking to meet the qualifying standard to achieve his Olympic dream.
The 34-year-old Cardiff AAC athlete, from Aberdare, takes part in his sixth London Marathon next month.
He is looking to improve his personal best and improve on his 13th place last year in a field which included the top 10 fastest runners of all time.
