UK Outdoor Results - June 2021

[RunUnlimited]

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.....

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

As did I! Better streaming today, but can you get live results for the LJ? I can't :-(

[trickstat]

Presumably it was an injury issue. Maybe a metatarsal? If I recall correctly Joyce Oladapo did the same about 30 or more years back.

someone mentioned on this forum, that she had changed take off leg- is that right? i would be curious to know why .... she has a best of 6.51 and was jumping much further than this as an under -17

On the 9th you commented 'He and Phil Norman just need to 1-2 it and they're both on the plane. The only person who I think could spoil the party is Mark Pearce'

Well your intel is almost spot on! Vinco tweeted that 'Mark Pearce also produced a fantastic performance, taking five seconds off of his PB to finish in 8.25.43!' at NIce ... Can he get the OQ?

Burgin is an athlete who is injury prone i think, and may not run successive rounds with ease; therefore, very talented as he is at his age, I have discounted him at this time for our GB OG team; the first two will be entirely dependent on a hot finish and positional place in the last 100 metres from which to launch the finish. The only one i personally favour for top two is Rowden, but the rest is, as it is said, a crapshoot. I would like to see Giles get a place after his tribulations.

rowden and giles for the 800
wightman and kerr for the 1500 - thats my preferences

At the Watford BMC GP, a terrific run for U23 Erin Wallace (trains with Laura & Jemma) - 4:08.12 beating Holly Archer & Jess Judd and taking 4.5s off her 2019 PB.

At the moment the guy in that line up you mentioned who looks in the most danger is Webb. He hasn't looked great so far in the outdoor season, though like Giles who also only started running competitively again outdoors just a couple of weeks ago, he is likely just race-rusty right now and could be ready and fully firing by the Trials in a fortnight's time. Another who could be under threat is Burgin, who hasn't run since that European U20 record run in Ostrava in May because of a "slight" injury niggle. Hopefully it is just a minor issue that will be ok come the Trials, but there is every chance he could come into them not fully fit.

However, this is a tremendously exciting time for men's and women's middle distance running in this country, and the British Championships 800m/1500m races will be some spectacle to witness.

Not having the best run of it since her pb

Has had only one track session since the team champs so this was just a tester to see how body was reacting.

A solid day from Holly Mills. A great PB in the HJ, but overall slightly down on her best first day (set in April). There is plenty of scope for progress though - just needs a decent JT tomorrow.

[Occasional Hope]

I feel Burgin isn't really tested running rounds.

A result not mentioned here from the AthleticaGeneve meeting was Kristal Awauh setting a decent SB of 11.39 (+0.2 m/s) in the B 100m race. Get's the Euro U23 qualifying standard.
