Twins Laviai and Lina Nielsen hope training and racing with each other can help them achieve a shared dream of representing Team GB at an Olympic Games. Laviai won the 400m at last years European Junior Championships in Eskilstuna, Sweden, before claiming relay gold with twin sister Lina in the 4x400m.When you think about it, we made up half of that relay team, Lina told Sky Sports. I ran the second leg, so I had the responsibility of breaking into the first lane and carrying the lead and as I was handed the baton, I remember thinking woah, this is the European Junior final.My adrenaline was really pumping. Laviai ran the last leg and we already had a massive lead at that point. We knew we had it but when she crossed the line, we all mobbed her.The sisters, who turn 20 next month, are University of London students - Lina attends Queen Mary and Westfield, while Laviai studies at Kings College.Laviai is not the only elite level British athlete studying at Kings College - British 200m record holder and world junior sprint champion Dina Asher-Smith is also a student there.I know Dina quite well, she said. Weve been in the same teams in the past and we went to the world juniors together.But I really want to make an Olympic Games and I hope I can get a medal at some point. Im looking towards Rio at the moment. I went to the World Championships in 2015, which was a great experience for me as one of the youngest members of the team. Ever since I came back, Rio has been on my mind. Laviai and Lina (l) made up the half the relay team that won European junior gold The twins, who hail from Leytonstone, east London, are 400m specialists but Lina could emerge as a contender in the 400m hurdles after her impressive showing at the London Inter-Club Challenge last August.My ultimate dream is to make it to the Olympic Games, in either the 400m the 4x400m or the 400m hurdles which I have been trying recently, she said. Linas time on 400m hurdles debut was faster than Sally Gunnells I was ranked second in the UK at the end of last season but I know I need to build up my strength if I want to do the hurdles. I raced just once but I was told afterwards that my time on debut was faster than Sally Gunnells on her debut race over the 400m hurdles. She still holds the British record over 400m, which is an amazing record. Shes an inspiration.The Nielsen sisters were speaking at the premiere of SportsAids #SupportTheNext campaign film, screened at Londons BAFTA.The non-profit organisation helps young athletes to overcome the financial obstacles they face in their bid to become Britains next generation of Olympians, Paralympians and world champions.
