UK Athletics Championships, Manchester 2022 Day 3

[paul]

Unless you are Mondo, individually speaking, expectation always feels like the wrong word somehow, in a sporting event with 30 or so factors to contend...

[paul]

_Surely_ there is a route to adding Daryll -- if she wants it? But maybe she doesn't want it. If she does, then I note that these days she exudes...

[paul]

What do people know of Alex Bell's form. She is a great athlete and great championship runner at her best. But is she fit?

[paul]

Why? LOL i guess you are having a pessimistic day!

[paul]

If you have aspirations of winning the w 200 at a global champs then, as I've said before, i think you have to be targeting the world record. I think...

[paul]

And I will be super happy if we have representation in both the 100 and 200 finals. Even if they don't medal. Hopefully two in the 100.

[paul]

Its gonna be exciting!
(...Is my super-sophisticated analysis.)

[paul]

Another very enjoyable day. Just a slight shame about the wind.
Many great performances. Burgin is on the brink of legend status. But Neita (again)...

[paul]

Rotational PB (as it were) for Sophie McK?

[paul]

Good question. For me it is a complex amalgam of factors based on my 50+ years of running (ever more slowly) and enjoying following the sport. I am...

[paul]

Strickler is in good form. In a sec I guess we are going to find out if McKinna will try and take her on using rotational!

[paul]

Does anyone know why the BBC had so little field event coverage?
Not covering Ugen, Sawyers et al (as far as I could see) -- among our very best...

[paul]

Will Daryll run the 200? And if so, how fast?
Her 70-100 in a 100 is absolutely world class. - Sometimes a sign of a good 100/200 runner. But...

Either I am going crazy or Auntie came in 5th in a PB!! Right in the mix with the relay faithful, where she wants to be. A PB from a tough lane in very...

[paul]

A brilliant day of athletics. Despite the weather. So many great stories.
Daryll has indeed come of age. Seeing the tears roll down Azu's face almost...

[paul]

I'm pretty sure the opposite is true. Hodgkinson's chances of breaking the world record are *greatly* enhanced by the existence of Mu.

[paul]

At least she'll have two world champions in her event, in KJT and Hollie A.

[paul]

Is it good or bad that Auntie K (the least experienced 400 runner) has lane 8 in the final?
Presumably she'll start slow and finish quick. But...

[paul]

Agreed. Hopefully Bekah will rise above it all.
