    • Not sure if anybody noticed this but Andrew Robertson in Brno ran 10.03 (!). However, I couldn't see the wind reading and the results site is a train wreck that is not fit for purpose, so until we get confirmation of the wind, then we can't proclaim this as a massive new PB for him.

        I think he actually ran 10.01 and 10.02, but both were with healthy tailwinds (+5 and then +3). Still decent running.

    • The 10.01 was with a +5.5 wind

      • Says he got a 10.02 as well but that was a +3.4 wind.

        • 67.84 pb for Jessica Mayho in the hammer.

            Yeah, I thought as much. He did look good though. What would that have been with say, a +1.0 m/s following wind, rather than that gale?

              10.17 with no wind, apparently, so maybe 10.12 with a +1.0?

          • Naomi Ogbeta also jumped over 14.30 at the same meeting but again was aided by a following gale.

            • Going back to Holly Mills, on the US forums someone has calculated that Zheng will move her up to 22nd,her first hep of the year was 6153 which combined with Arona gives her an overall average of 1185. Mills average goes up to 1178 equal with Gittens. The one slight disadvantage for Mills is that those competing at Ratingen have got something to aim at, the lesser known Germans and the likes of Sulek and the two Rodriguez’s may fancy their chances, but huge credit to Holly for putting in another PB

              In the men’s decathlon rankings looks like Duckworth will be pushed down a few places due to the performances of Helecet and Sykora, now hanging on by a thread.

                With his poor results this year I don't think UKA would accept an invitation for Duckworth unless he gets the actual standard at the trials, which may be a challenge

              carterhatch, I now know that 'empezada' in Spanish means 'started'. If only that were true for the actual live results lol.

              • Ian Hodge has tweeted that 'Britain has yet another Olympic qualifier, Ama Pipi clocks her second PB in a week over 400m. 51.08!!'

                I said she was due a rewrite of her PB but wasn't exepcting two in one week ...

                • Well done Ama. Didn't see that coming.

                    Have just watched the race on YouTube (thanks to the ever-reliable links provided by LuckySpikes!) and Ama Pipi was very impressive in her run, especially the closing 80-90m where she powered through the field and won by a comfortable margin. Kinda reminded me of Donna Fraser in the Sydney Olympic 400m final as she stormed to a sub 50 second time and 4th place.

                    All of a sudden, the women's 400m is looking pretty competitive now. Pipi now joins Yeargin and Williams with attaining the Oly standard and with the likes of Nielsen, Anning, Liverpool running regularly sub 52 this season, and Zoe Clarke and Emily Diamond going sub 52 themselves in the last week too, there could be by the British Championships, 4 or 5 runners with the required standard. It would be pretty amazing if GB could send a full quota of 3 athletes in the 400m to Tokyo - a rather striking contrast to the men's side of things certainly.

                      There were few finer sights in athletics, in my view, than Donna Fraser stretching out along the back straight - so that is a might big claim, RunUnlimited. But I agree, the w400 is going to be a highlight of the champs, especially now they have returned to just two rounds...

                  • Ian Hodge - the bringer of glad tidings - 'He's back... Reece Prescod clocks 10.35 and 21.30 in the sprints at Woodford this eve.. encouraging and impressive'

                      He's going to need to do a lot better than that.

                      Needs to find at least 2 tenths in 2 weeks - he has the quality to, does he have the fitness?

                      In 2018 he went from 10.39 to 10.04 2 weeks later. If he manages something similar, he's on the plane.

                  • Women’s 400 is stressing me out hahahaha

                    its absolutely on fire

                    4 with qualifier, so expect 3 places to be filled, and a great relay team

                      I cant imagine what it must be like to be so closely involved in, one can argue, the most anticipated race of the trials ... A place in the final and a PB will be great achievements. Can you sort out the men's 400 while you are at it

                      Its a great time to watch the women flourish, but sheesh, yeah will need to be PB shape to progress to make the final with so much talent showing

                    Great to see him back and doing 2 races. Must be his first 200 for a number of years
