Nick Miller doesn't have long to wait for a chance of revenge over Kokhan. They're facing off again at Saturday's Kuortane Games (by the way, I may have figured out that the Finnish meetings are available live without geo-blocking).

Some UK performances of note in the last couple of days...
In Ostrava, Kyle Langford came fourth in the 800m, behind Tuka, Kszczot and Kipketer, clocking 1:46.08 as he continued his return to full action after missing most of 2018 with injury.
Martin Rooney's difficult start to season continued in the 400m contest, following on from his poor run at Sollentuna on Tuesday he was way down the field in the race won by Steven Gardiner (44.95), coming a distant 7th in a less than promising season's "best" of 47.38.
Charles Da'Vall Grice won in the men's mile race, overtaking Kenyan Michael Kibet in the last few strides to win in 3:56.95, another good mile win for the Brit.
Richard Kilty's return from injury continued in the "B" 100m race, and he came through for a third placed finish in a decent 10.27 SB (-0.3 m/s), behind American Bryce Robinson (10.21) and South African Thando Dlodlo (10.24).
Finally in the women's 1500m, which has been such a hot event in the last month or so, Sarah McDonald good form continued, coming second to Gudaf Tsegay (4:02.95) who was fresh from her personal best run in that record breaking race in Rabat on Sunday. McDonald, also fresh from moving into 12th place on the UK all time list in the same race, clocked 4:03.79 in this race, her third best time ever over the distance. Meanwhile 21 year old Jemma Reekie finished 7th in that race in a new personal best of 4:05.82, knocking almost 3 seconds off her previous best time set last year at the Athletics World Cup (4:09.05).Comment

Jemma Reekie ran a 4:06.11 split in the Anniversary Games Mile last year, hence why she was able to go to Berlin (the UKA standard was 4:07.00). But yes, another eight PBs in the Ostrava race including Darya Barysevich 4:04.4 and our favourite Slovenian distance runner, Marusa Mishmash, 4:06.6.
Various Brits competing in Tuebingen, Nancy, Kuortane & the Berlin street meeting on Saturday.

Well damn.... Looks like Jeremiah Azu might be out of the U-20's. In the last 5-10 meters of the U-20 100m final and well clear of the rest, Azu pulled up with what appeared to be a left hamstring injury. He crossed the line in first place, but then soon afterward collapsed to the track, clutching at his left thigh, in obvious pain.
