HERE are Gwent's track superstars Jamie Baulch and Christian Malcolm as you have never seen them before.

The two athletes, normally pictured in their running gear, posed for some shots wearing the latest fashions at a shoot in Newport.

They were snapped at Newport's Zero One Studios as part of a promotional deal with Olympic hero Linford Christie's sports management company, Nuff Respect.

Photography specialists Zero One, based in Lower Dock Street, have recently signed a lucrative deal with Nuff Respect to produce promotional and advertising pictures for their athletes.

Risca-born 400m runner Jamie Baulch and Newport's own 200m sprinter Christian Malcolm joined Olympic bronze medallist swimmer David Davies to strike a pose.

Chris Smith, managing director of Zero One, said: "All the stars are overjoyed with their pictures.

"These are high fashion shots and we are trying to give them the sort of image musicians enjoy. These are extremely talented stars and they deserve a good image."

Former world junior 100m and 200m champion Christian Malcolm said: "I had a great time at the studio.

"It was very laid back and has produced fantastic photographs."

Ceri Jones, director of Zero One, said: "It is great to have world class Olympic medallists at our studios here in Newport.

"We are looking forward to photographing other sports stars from Nuff Respect, including Darren Campbell and Iwan Thomas."
