MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Australian hurdler Sally Pearson believes she has recaptured the quick starts that were her hallmark in the halcyon days when she swept to the world title and Olympic glory in successive years.

The 28-year-old will compete in her first international meeting outside Australia this year at Sunday's Golden Grand Prix in Kawasaki as she builds up to the world championships in Beijing in August.
