MELBOURNE, Australia — Two-time 400-meter hurdles world champion Jana Rawlinson has changed coaches and targeted a comeback next month in Poland as she prepares for August’s athletics World Championships in Berlin.

The 26-year-old Rawlinson won the world title at Osaka, Japan, in 2007 just eight months after giving birth to her son, but missed the Beijing Olympics last August because of recurring foot injuries.
The Australian runner confirmed she’d split with husband and coach Chris Rawlinson, a British hurdler who won a Commonwealth Games gold medal in 2002.
Rawlinson has appointed Craig Hilliard as her coach for a second time.
She is scheduled to return to competition June 10 in Poland and has entered IAAF Grand Prix meets in Monaco, London, Rome and Lausanne.
Competing as Jana Pittman, she won her first world title in 2003, but injured her knee in a warmup accident ahead of the 2004 Athens Olympics and, after a drama-filled buildup, placed fifth in the final.
Rawlinson said she’d been more focussed on her child and her athletics career since her marriage broke down and was now over the injuries that have sidelined her for 12 months.
“A lot of things turned around when I dedicated my life back towards my son and my athletics individually,” she told the Australian Broadcasting Corp.
A third world championship title might be too much to expect this year, she said, but an Olympic gold medal isn’t out of the question at London in 2012.
“I’m lucky to have won two world titles already, a third would be fantastic,” she said. “But that elusive gold in the Olympics is the main thing that my focus is on, even now three and a half years out.”
