Sprinter Jonnie Peacock speaks about his upcoming return to action following ankle surgery.

Team GB's Jonnie Peacock will compete for the first time this weekend since his success at last year's Paralympic Games in London.

The 19-year-old, who recorded a time of 10.90 seconds on his way to winning gold in the T44 100m, underwent surgery on his ankle shortly after his triumph.

He has now made a full recovery and will take to the track at the BT Great CityGames in Manchester's city centre on Saturday afternoon.

"I had a big ankle operation after London 2012 so my recovery has been a little bit prolonged from the Games because of that," he told Sports Beat.

"I have only been training a few months now and we have done a bit of testing so we can tell roughly tell what kind of shape I am in, but we are not going to know for sure until race day.

"I have changed my training base and my coach so a lot has changed for me in a year and it is about settling in. This year we are going to look to do things but it is really about next year."

Peacock's best time over 100m currently stands at 10.85 seconds.

World-class athletics returns to Manchester with the BT Great CityGames on Saturday 25 May. Olympic and, for the first time, Paralympic champions will compete in the city centre and it's free to watch. BT has a long history of supporting Paralympic sport and is a partner of the British Paralympic Association all the way to 2016.
