Cardiff's Melanie Stephenson has been chosen as one of lucky ones to carry the Olympic torch for part of its journey from Olympia in Greece to the opening ceremony of the London Olympic Games.
Melanie, who is one of the club's most loyal sprinters, coached by former international 400m runner Mark Thomas, is also diabetic and was nominated for the honour by Diabetes UK Cymru for her volunteering work.
Current members will not know him but Paul Evans was an international sprinter and club member who has just been appointed to the highest position in the country's military medical service.

Paul was a member of the club in the late 1960s and has retained his love of athletics ever since. He is currently the President of the RAF Athletics' Association.
