Nationality change

BRITAIN'S Aaron Cook, the world's top ranked taekwondo fighter, said that he is ready to consider changing nationalities in a bid to compete at the 2016 Olympics in Rio. Cook was controversially axed from Britain's Olympic squad for the London Games despite his position as the sport's leading star. "I want to win gold in Rio and, ideally, I'd love it to be for Great Britain but as it stands at the moment with the likes of Gary Hall, Steven Jennings and Adrian Tranter involved, there is just no possible way that I can work with these people," Cook said. "In the worst-case scenario, I've got to look at another country. If that's the only way I can win gold in Rio, then that's what I've got to do."
