Double world champion Bernard Lagat is aiming to achieve another victory at the Norwich Union Grand Prix in Birmingham next year.

The naturalised American is set to return to the National Indoor Arena on February 16, the venue where he posted a national 3,000 metres indoor record at this year's meeting.

Now the Kenyan-born star, who during the summer became the first athlete ever to win the world 1,500m and 5,000m titles at the same championships, is aiming for a repeat success.

"I'm really pleased to be returning to Birmingham," said the 33-year-old.

"I've always loved running there and of course had a great win in 2007. It would be great to come back and win again.

"This year has been hugely successful for me, and if I can continue that in the indoor season it will be a great preparation for the Olympics."
