Day 2 a lot better than Day 1 thankfully and as expected.
Thrilled for Oskan-Clarke who once again gets the better of Sharp. Bell will get that 3rd spot.
I would pick Wightman over Grice. He has better results at championships and did get the 3rd place. The problem is that at the Worlds none of the races will be won in 3.48. So the result today won't have much bearing on how they perform in the heats. Any race run at a faster pace and Grice would have the measure of Gourley, but why he ran that the way he did only he knows.
Are the selectors going to consider Grice for the thrid 800m spot? Is that as crazy as it sounds? He has the QT. The other 800m messed up their races. I don't think Spencer Thomas or Learmonth will get the time. I would take Webb, Giles and Grice. Webb and Giles have performed well through the season. At the top level then Grice would stand a better chance than the other men. A shame that Langford who should be a world bronze medalist from London is likely not going to be going anywhere this year...
