Jones eyes September return
Marion Jones
Jones has her sights set on Athens
Marion Jones will make her comeback to the sprint scene at the Golden League meeting in Brussels in September.

The Olympic 100m and 200m champion has not raced this year after taking time out for the birth of her son Tim.

Jones had already ruled herself out of this month's World Championships, although she is likely to travel to Paris to watch her partner, the men's 100m world record holder Tim Montgomery.

She may decide to run at a low-key meeting in the United States before returning to world-class action on 5 September.

"She's happy, she's getting ready, she's excited," said Montgomery. "And I'm hoping she will be watching me in Paris."

Jones and Montgomery got together last year after Jones split from her husband, former shot-putt champion CJ Hunter.

She gave birth to her first child in June but is now ready to concentrate on her preparations for the Athens Olympics next year.
