SIMEON Williamson is focused on the 2012 Olympics after bouncing back from his 100m exit at the World Athletics Championships with a bronze in the relay finals on Saturday.
The Highgate Harriers sprinter ran the lead off leg alongside Great Britain team-mates Tyrone Edgar, Marlon Devonish and Harry Aikines-Aryeetey.
And the quartet's time of 38.2seconds was a new season's best, 0.71 seconds behind the Jamaican sprint team for whom Usain Bolt picked up his third gold of the competition in Berlin.
"It means a lot, it's my first relay medal and I'm very happy," admitted Williamson after helping the GB medal haul to four.
"This makes up for not getting a medal in the 100m. We're still going home with a medal and it feels like a really good run.
"My changover with Tyrone was a lot better than in the heat and I think we're going to get better over time as we head towards London in 2012.
