what meeting??

[philipo]

in Geneva, where performances benefit a little from geography, I note that Borthwick beat Lake who had another of her underperformances with 1.90m; Beaten by Borthwick with 1.93.
Lake will be very lucky to be in the British team in my view; She appears to have no consistency perhaps due to a lack of mental strength, but benefits from poor female high jumpers here.; Lets hope Borthwick goes onwards and upwards over the next few seasons.

Holly Mills is in there pitching, and a great prospect. We should not be down about the youngster just because the expected medal contenders KJT and NE are not fit.

By the way, I'm following the weird results page for the individual disciplines at Arona, but does anyone have a link for the overall scores anywhere?


Meanwhile in other news: everyone in our house is singing a new song -- "Oliver Dustbin, remember the name!". Its catchy.

https://rfealive.com/results/20210610_1726:34:34:6:1? Here's the results for the heptathlon... just updated now with the javelin finished. Mills went from first to third after the sixth event, but is likely to finish with another 6000+ point total, though not sure she'll get a PB.

Also "Oliver Dustbin" is a the best! lol

Calling him "unknown" just betrays their ignorance. Not very well-known and relatively obscure maybe, surprising certainly but no European Junior champion can be considered unknown. I'd like to think that no-one on here would call an NCAA champion "unknown", for example.

correct Trickstat.

That outstanding performance by Dustin gets a response by some nutter on the crazies site,Letsrun, some "unknown" Brit runs a world lead. No wonder I think some of those brain washed schmucks over the pond are beyond the pale.

Occasional Hope Yeah, I figured it had been that long since that happened. And there has still been no news, positive or negative, relating to KJT's fitness since we last heard. Considering where we are at in the season and with the British Champs just a fortnight away, even *if* KJT or Niamh suddenly made an announcement of availability, there is just no way either would be fit enough to get the standard or compete.

carterhatch Definitely a PB, added more than a meter to her previous javelin best of 34.29m set at the Loughborough Open last month.

[felix51]

trickstat I'm surprised folks here are not using a much more recent - and relevant - example of this.... Jessica Ennis-Hill switching take off foot for the long jump after the injury that wrecked her chances of participating in the 2008 Olympics. She seemed to do pretty well for herself after the switch.....

And JEH's JT wasnt good at the start, but she managed to get her PB up to 47m.

[carterhatch]

and Holly Mills throws a 35.77 - a PB I think - for her second effort

... 'looks like Britain will not have any representatives in the heptathlon at Tokyo 2020'

I talk about this in my last post on thread - 'UK Women's Multi Event - state of play' ... I noted Holly Mills has accepted attendance at British Championships, in the Heptathlon, could she make one last effort there?

[Occasional Hope]

First time since the hep took over from the pentathlon, I think. Is KJT definitely out for the season as well as Niamh Emerson?

[RunUnlimited]

6.08 LJ for Holly Mills. The Arona stream is much better today - I gave up on it yesterday.

Well, looks like Britain will not have any representatives in the heptathlon at Tokyo 2020 (+1), Mills is not going to suddenly pull a 40+ meter javelin out of nowhere and she really needed a decent long jump to have a chance of getting into the 6200 range.

When was the last time that happened for Great Britain btw?
