proctor out of the long jump

No Shara Proctor in the LJ. I wish this had been timetabled earlier when we would have seen more of it.Comment
-
Shara Proctor DNS in the LJ - that will make it easier for competitors and selectors alike ... and Phillipo will love the composition of this line-up

Gemili really slowed at the end but looked a lot better than he has all season.Comment
-
Safe to say Gemili, even not at his best, looks comfortably quicker than everyone else there.Comment
-
If I could gift a medal to one athlete it would be Gemili ... surprised Kilty chose 200 over 100. I suspect the selectors will find it hard not to include him in the relay - no matter the outcome of the 200. -
Agree re Gemili. If I were a suspiciously minded person, I would say Kilty has been told that there's a spot running the first leg of the 4x100m for him, so 200 practice would make sense. Given his indoor pedigree, you'd expect him to be one of the best out of the blocks after all.

If someone could gift Jazmin Sawyers 6 inches of height, she could jump 7.30m... Amazingly explosive athlete.Comment

Women's javelin feeble by world standards, but at least the winner managed a PB.Comment
-
What a lovely heart warming reaction to a javelin thrower getting a PB ...Comment
-
Yeah, it was great to see everyone celebrating with her. -
Occasional Hope - our comments must have crossed - I agree with you entirely that our Javelin standards are feeble ... and I know you were being complimentary...
-
I say again, British Athletics do themselves no favours with having back to back 'race walking' in the middle of the schedule.Comment
-
I take your point about the 'gap' explanation, and more focus on field events, but to a casual viewer watching one man going round and round . on his own, does not make for compelling viewing. To me it is British Athletics trying to 'engineer' their agenda... [edited for additional comment]... and as if to make my point they've not shown one moment of the women's race walk...until the eventual winner gets to the last 200m ...Last edited by carterhatch; 27-06-21, 14:18.

Tom Bosworth very wise to rely in his own watch, rather the the stadium cliocks!Originally posted by carterhatch View PostComment

LJ taking a while to catch fire. Jaz and Lorraine can do much better than this.Comment

.. and of course... we have an interview with an official (Joanna Coates CEO UKA) while action takes place. not acceptable ... 'we put athletes first'Last edited by carterhatch; 27-06-21, 13:59. -
Fair enough, but even that is a million times better than the usual GabFest! -
very true Grassmarket, and Tim Hutchins did 'apologise' for the distraction ... dont get me wrong I want these officials asked probing, difficult questions (which to be fair someof them he asked were), but at the appropriate time ...

LJ distances not outstanding but a nice competition. Do they dare leaving one of the 3 active here out for Proctor?Comment
-
At last, 6.73 for Jaz is much more like it. One more round, I think?Comment
-
Delighted for Jaz. Like Gemili, just an athlete that always seems to have a bright outlook and that you want to see do well.
Fair play to Abigail as well. Performed well on the day. Ugen for me over Proctor for spot 3 - better SB and pretty similar PB, albeit not the same track record in championships. Plus, useful to have an emergency relay anchor lol.Comment

6.75 for Jaz. Good for her, she seemed to be plateauing at 6.60 odd for the last few years.Comment
