2019 World Championships - Athlete Scorecard

[MysteryBrick]

If I had to look at the athletes from GB&NI who I could see have a legitimate chance of winning a World medal in 2020-2023, I would have to say:...

[MysteryBrick]

Not sure where else to put this, but just had the realisation that Dina has run 10 100m races this year, each one faster than the second best Brit of...

[MysteryBrick]

I wonder what a relay team of... say KJT, Jodie Williams, Beth Dobbin, DAS could do against a team of 400m runners. I would say win 9 times out of 10...

[MysteryBrick]

'And one man's blazing speed has torn this field asunder...'

[MysteryBrick]

I approve of this observation. Doing his bit for the team...

[MysteryBrick]

5000m
Laura Weightmann - first major at 5000m and a big PB in the final to finish 7th and go 3rd on the UK all-time list. I think 5000m is definitely...

[MysteryBrick]

I mean, Kerr has twice beaten Steve Cram's GB U23 record this year, so let's see how things go!...

[MysteryBrick]

Just seen a stat that says that GB has 3 men sub-3:33 for the first time *ever*. Not even Coe/Cram/Ovett managed this. So I think this backs up my earlier...

[MysteryBrick]

100m/200m/Relay
Dina Asher-Smith - do I need to say anything. The new Queen. 10
Imani Lansiquot - disappointing champs for her, poor times...

[MysteryBrick]

1500m
Jake Wightman - made the final and ran a 3:31 PB. Not really any more he could have done. 9
Josh Kerr - made the final and ran a 3:32...

[MysteryBrick]

How did people do? Trying to be objective here - grading from 1-10

100m/200m/relay
Zharnel Hughes - made the final which was the bare...

[MysteryBrick]

Very disappointing from Miller, but just seen his second round foul which was *huge* and not 100% sure why it was a foul....

[MysteryBrick]

My thoughts exactly. Have to presume it was correctly measured!

[MysteryBrick]

Jess Turner has had a great champs so far (fastest 2 times back to back) and will likely feature in the relay. Really pleased for her.

[MysteryBrick]

Trying to keep going until October? Not the only country with injury issues (e.g. Michael Norman just now, Elaine Thompson and others)

[MysteryBrick]

I think the picture is mixed. There are some events where the elite and sub-elite level is about as good as it has ever been (100m, 200m, 800m (sub-elite),...

[MysteryBrick]

I could have predicted that happening to Sharp. No ability to take control of a race or lead. Serves her right, to be honest.

[MysteryBrick]

Alex Bell did her level best to not qualify for the semifinals there. Messy, bad positioning, but fair play, got 3rd. One to forget, and run the semi...
