[Occasional Hope]

Christian 'Technicality' Coleman ran 6.37 at the US champs last night.

They've managed to appoint a new chief exec, someone from outside athletics: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/athletics/51498574

They have the comp as usual until the last round. Then the top three have a kind of jump off in the last round, and all the previous marks are forgotten....

[Occasional Hope]

Ridiculous.

[Occasional Hope]

Not a fan of the new LJ format.

[Occasional Hope]

Morgan Lake not looking good.

[Occasional Hope]

He really is a phenomenal talent.

[Occasional Hope]

Excellent pb from Jessie Knight too.

[Occasional Hope]

Definitely....

[Occasional Hope]

IMO someone who never really fulfilled her potential, mainly due to injuries.

[Occasional Hope]

Tom Gale backed up the weekend's 2.33 with a 2.31 this evening, although he finished third behind Jamal Wilson who he beat in Hustopece and Luis Zayas...

[Occasional Hope]

In the women' HJ, Nikki Manson added another cm to get a new 1.93 pb at Hustopece, with Morgan Lake starting her comeback at 1.90.

[Occasional Hope]

CJ Ujah ran 6.53 in Dusseldorf.

[Occasional Hope]

Yes, another outstanding performance. What a shame the World Indoors have been cancelled/postponed rather than moved elsewhere.

[Occasional Hope]

Amber Anning ran 53.11 in her first 400 of the year over in the US.

[Occasional Hope]

An excellent clearance from Tom too, and at the third attempt.

[Occasional Hope]

Great from Tom Gale, I've been waiting for this since 2017.

Andy Pozzi beat Martinot-Lagarde in Paris.

Really stunning! What can she do outdoors this year?

[Occasional Hope]

Mahuchikh is starting to look like the hot favourite for Olympic gold, if Lasitskene is indeed not allowed to compete....
