For comparison, by my calculations she was on 3690 at this stage when setting her PB.

Her Day 2 then was 6.31w / 39.02 / 2.09.74

She’s put on a few metres in the jav since then, but I suspect asking her to match the other two might be a stretch just now

[Occasional Hope]

A solid start considering her long time off.

[Occasional Hope]

Jessica Mayho best of the British women in Manchester 66.28.

Today Katie Head won out when she beat her in the NAL with 67.33.

Huge gulf between Lincoln and the rest but a new PB of 18.67 for renowned relay runner Youcef Zatat. Hopefully we can see him break 19m later in the season.

On day two of the Arona multi events meeting, Niamh Emerson, in her first long jump contest in since 2019, opens with a first round effort of 5.87m (+1.7m/s)

In round 2, Emerson makes a marginal improvement, jumping 5.93m (+1.5m/s).

And in the 3rd and final round, Emerson cannot improve again, jumping 5.84m (+2.0m/s).

[RunUnlimited]

Ellen Barber (GBR): DNF

[Occasional Hope]

Looks like Noor Vidts has dropped out too.

[RunUnlimited]

Occasional Hope
As I understand it, Vidts was only doing a couple of events in Arona, rather than complete a full heptathlon there.

[RunUnlimited]

Damn it! It looks like Emerson has pulled out of the javelin in Arona!

[Occasional Hope]

Oh no! And just as it was starting to look safe!

[Rickster]

Hopefully precautionary.

[drobbie]

hamstring flared up apparently, according to her insta she only had 8 weeks training before the event

[Grassmarket]

Jamie Webb 1:45.54 SB in the Chorzow 800m but nowhere race-wise.

[Occasional Hope]

At the meeting Victoria Ohuorogu ran her Pb at, Adam Gemili ran 10.09 with the benefit of a 2.9 wind. Asha Philip 11.05 with 3.5 wind.

[Grassmarket]

Jemma Reekie returns to form in Chorzow 1:58.45 for a clear 2nd place.

[drobbie]

the air bubble in his shoe exploded too

[Sprintfan]

if Vicky O ran 51.05 in those windy conditions there's more to come from her I think. 😎👍

[Ladyloz]

Those Nike super spikes eh!!!

[Grassmarket]

Wooah, great running from the 1500m lads!

[Occasional Hope]

Great win for Wightman in Rabat, 3.32.62. Well run by Heyward too.

[Grassmarket]

Very impressive from Markovc, one of her best ever.

[MysteryBrick]

Really good run! She surely *has* to get the World 5000m standard running like that!

[Occasional Hope]

Her best ever by time, by quite a way, and so well judged and confident too. Very impressive.

[Occasional Hope]

51.56 and third place in Hengelo for Nicole Yeargin, behind Roxana Gomez and Lieke KlaVer but some way ahead of Wadeline Jonathas of the US.
