FIFTY-YEAR-OLD Merlene Ottey could become the oldest athlete to compete at the European Championships after Slovenia named the sprinter to its 4x100 relay team.

She was one of five athletes named by the Slovenian Athletics Federation alongside Tina Murn, Sabina Veit, Kristina Zumer and Maja Mihalinec. Ottey has won 29 medals at major competitions, including seven Olympic Games starting with Moscow in 1980. French marathon runner Nicole Brakebusch-Leveque is the oldest athlete to compete in the European games so far, at the age of 47.
