Birmingham CWG - Day 1 (Tuesday August 2nd)

[Occasional Hope]

Looks like silver for Molly Caudery, assuming Nina Kennedy gets one more height.

[Occasional Hope]

Bit of a stumble for Ojora. Zeller looked OK, but the Jamaicans are going very well.

[Christy93]

Really quite impressive for Josh Zeller to hold his form not just for Worlds, but Commonwealths too.

[DerbyCountyinNZ]

And that's a surprise bronze medal for my club from Imogen Ayris! Beats Jacko Gill to the podium.

[Occasional Hope]

Kennedy seals the win with a clearance at 4.60.

What a shame Holly B had her accident.

[Occasional Hope]

She's having a go at the championship record now.

[Occasional Hope]

This is a tiny field in the 10000, presumably combination of being so close to the WCs and the ridiculous quota issue.

[trickstat]

I usually expect a few runners in it that are short of international class. I'm not sure it's really the Commonwealth Games without someone from somewhere like the Cook Islands or the Falklands running 34 minutes.

[LuckySpikes]

26:33 pace for Sam Atkin after 1000m !!

[Ursus]

The jogging’s not really my thing….but this could turn into a very long evening for Atkin.

[Occasional Hope]

Is Pingua making a bit of a break?

No, I think not.

[Occasional Hope]

And now it's all changed at the front.

[Occasional Hope]

Wildschutt and Butchart make a bit of a break.

Poor Sam Atkin drops out.

[trickstat]

Atkin drops out. Still quite an interesting race.

[Occasional Hope]

Now the Kenyans surge to the front.

[trickstat]

Kiplimo putting the hammer down.

[Occasional Hope]

It may have been a tiny filed, but what a brilliant duel it was in the final stages. Superb from Kiplimo but Ebenyo gave it everything.
