KJT’s final jump showed immense mental strength - it has come on leaps and bounds. Yes, Thiam has improved, but Kat has improved on things, too, and feeling confident she can keep hanging on will be crucial

It's surely relatively easy to be putting the nerves to bed in a DL single event. Very very different in Doha. I don't think we seen the last of the KJT jitters. And technically she should have the runway sorted by now, especially as it is an event which she clearly enjoys and is world class at in it's own right.

She did say something about changing her run up, so it may be a case of bedding that in. If so, she clearly got more distance and great lift off the board from it. Time will tell, but she was clearly thinking she could jump further, which is a good sign

Was not expecting 6.86m for Thiam! That surely means even if KJT gets the better of her in the long jump on the day it won't be by much. We haven't heard much of whether KJT will go for any other events besides the heptathlon at Doha, but surely a space in the long jump is hers if she wants it with Ugen and Proctor both struggling, Can't see Sawyers pulling it out the bag next weekend.
DAS is doing everything she can to put herself in for a shout of a medal. The 200m still looks like her strongest chance.
Great to see MHS back. I could see him pushing for a final spot come Doha, the standard across the board is not mind blowing so far this year.
Lynsey Sharp hasn't won the UK title since 2015. I think she probably will do it but she has messed it up tactically a couple of times the past couple of years.

can anyone explain the appalling performances of two British women in the steeplechase. Nearly 10 minutes and they will be social mediaing like crazy if they werent selected on the back of the IAAF satandrads. Wonder what excuses they have .
