Norton also clocked a time of 4.81 secs for 40 metres into a head wind on a slow track at St Mary’s University, Twickenham.
They don’t have the impetus to go forward. Bolt from the blue: Dan Norton takes the direct route through the South African defence in the world series in Glasgow. “I had support on the inside but didn’t have to use it. Ben Fogle: We’ve all become risk-averse, but life is nothing without a bit of fear, The mid-life crisis that inspired Pixar's Soul, Dear Richard Madeley:'My wife is jealous, unsupportive and abusive, but she depends on me', Yes, Joe Biden is ‘sleepy’. Another length of the field try from him should do the trick.
“Going into the final tournament it is great to be hosts and hopefully we can give the supporters something to cheer,” added Norton. Would you use an exfoliator made of old coffee grains? “To have someone on the end of the line with a bit of pace does help because you are able to stretch the defence a bit more. Bolt’s time over the same distance was 4.64 seconds. “It is a great prospect.''. In sevens it is an advantage to be light and quick. “The Olympics are four years away and I will be around 28 then, and hopefully won’t be too old and slow,” said Norton. One try in particular stands out for Norton. Dan Norton, the England sevens wing, will go into Saturday’s final round of the HSBC Sevens World Series event at Twickenham buoyed by the revelation that he is faster than Usain Bolt over 20 metres. And the good thing about pace is that it can get you out of trouble as well.”. Norton clocked a time of 2.70 secs for 20 metres from a standing start while carrying a rugby ball, which is 0.19 secs faster than Bolt achieved on his world record-breaking 100 …
Norton clocked a time of 2.70 secs for 20 metres from a standing start while carrying a rugby ball, which is 0.19 secs faster than Bolt achieved on his world record-breaking 100 sprint at the 2009 world championships in Berlin. "We’re in the second year of our full-time sevens programme now and the benefits are showing throughout the squad in terms of the individual development of each player and the collective understanding of how we want to play.
“We did some testing over 20 metres and my standing-start times and his were very close, which was a big boost to my confidence. His long-term target remains to play for the Great Britain side when sevens becomes an Olympic Sport at the Rio Games in 2016, but he has not ruled out returning to the 15-a-side game if the right opportunity comes along. “I don’t know how accurate it is, but I am happy to take it, if it is,” laughed Norton. “I have a bit of interest this season but nothing came to fruition,” Norton added. While Norton admits to being slightly embarrassed by comparisons with Bolt, the former Gloucester and Bristol player says it will give him extra confidence for the Marriott London Sevens. “You see some teams who don’t have a pace man and they go a bit side-to-side. While Sharples, Trinder and May went on to break into the senior Gloucester side, Norton admits his lightweight frame has made him more suited to the sevens game. It came in the dying seconds of England’s quarter-final victory over Australia in the HSBC Hong Kong Sevens when he took the ball from behind his own try-line and ran the length of the pitch to score the match-winning try. Such blistering pace has made the 24 year-old one of the most dangerous players on the sevens circuit and he is on the verge of setting a new try-scoring record for England this weekend having scored 35 in eight tournaments. “It is nice to know in games that if I pin my ears back and go, that my training will pay off when you are quicker than your opposite man. It was one of my favourite tries because of the manner of it and the fact that it won the game for us.”. That’s what makes him such a threat to Trump. Norton is one of 12 England Sevens players who are centrally contracted by the RFU, having come through the Gloucester academy with other flyers such as Charlie Sharples, Henry Trinder and Jonny May. “In 15s, the bigger you are the better and unfortunately I am a bit of a lightweight. “I had someone calling for the ball but I saw a bit of space and just went for it,” Norton recalled. The RFU are expecting a crowd of over 60,000 on Saturday and hope to beat last year’s record sevens weekend attendance of 100,094. “I am enjoying sevens but if an opportunity came up, I would have to think long and hard about it. England are on course to secure third place in the world series and Norton says the squad are determined to finish their campaign on a winning note.
