Harry Aikines-Aryeetey was pleased with his opening run of the season at the Karlsruhe IAAF World Indoor Tour event in Germany on Saturday.
The 27-year-old Sutton & District AC star posted 6.68 seconds for a fourth place finish in the 60m qualifying heats.
However, he decided not to take his place in the final as a precautionary measure.
Aikines-Aryeetey said: “It was just to blow off the cobwebs, but it was a good run. I look in good shape so I’m happy.
“I equalled my fastest opening up with 6.68 in the heats, but decided to pull out of the final.”
