Dobriskey tipped to surpass Kelly
Lisa Dobriskey's former coach Ted Hawkins feels she could even surpass fellow Kent star - and double Olympic champion - Kelly Holmes one day.
Dobriskey, 22, won Commonwealth gold in the 1500m in Melbourne last month.
"Give Lisa another four years and then start thinking about Kelly," Hawkins, who coached Dobriskey at Ashford Athletics Club, told BBC Radio Kent.
"But let her produce the goods for you - don't push her into producing the goods. She'll do it."
He added: "That's no disrespect to Kelly - Kelly had a really difficult time for about 10 years. Let's see what happens."
