Missing in inaction

Thanks for the info.

Wightman is not down on the entries for British champs for 1500m but has accepted for the 800m

[weekend warrior]

Wightman is down for the 1500m in Lausanne on 30/06. It wouldn't surprise me if he runs an 800m before that but he's not on any start lists that I can find.

I mentioned in another comment that there is a chance he will only run the 800m at British Champs but I guess this depends on if he feels like he needs another 1500m under his belt outside of Diamond League meets before Worlds.

Any early news re Charlie Dobson DNF in Poland yesterday?

[Ladyloz]

Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake hasn't raced since 6th May which is a bit concerning

[MR_ME]

I'm not worried about Jake yet. If you watch his youtube videos he is getting back to full fitness, and as you say he doesn't have the pressure to qualify. If he doesn't make trials though then maybe it will be time to worry.

Any news on Holly Bradshaw this year?

I'm also starting to worry about Jake Wightman, although of course he doesn't have to worry about qualifying.

Oliver Dustin appears on "the Sunday Plodcast" this week. At 45 mins its quite an extensive interview. He goes into detail about running 1.43, making the Olympics and his struggles last year. He has had two recent injuries, but he is planning 3 races before the trials. Overall he sounded optimistic about making the team for worlds. We shall see how the next few weeks pan out.

Ahh, good point raised OH.

[Occasional Hope]

They will all be doing A levels this year and might possibly be concentrating on school work. If so we will hopefully see them once exams are over.

Andrew Pozzi out for the season with a stress fracture.

[Runner88]

She competed in a 1500m just a couple of weeks ago in the US. Nothing spectacular but she’s around!

Yeah, decathlon may be a pipe dream now. Perhaps if he perseveres with the HJ for another couple of years he could push back up into the 2.20s, maybe even towards 2.30.

[carterhatch]

Yes, tough on the body [my knees would never cope] but so too would be decathlon ... but to realise his obvious sporting potential and natural athleticism, surely he has to try something

[RunUnlimited]

From the U20 side of missing in action corner.... Still no sign of Euro U18 400m hurdles champ Ophelia Pye, nor of the U20 heptathlete Eloise Hind who competed at last year's World U20s, at all this year.

Seren Rodgers, another promising heptathlete, hasn't competed since April 10th after setting several PBs indoors in the winter, and outdoors in that April appearance.
