WA raised the qualification marks to increase the importance of, and attention given to, their new rankings. The problem is that even die-hard fans like...

Adele has officially switched to Jamaica (see her WA profile). I wonder if she’ll do the 8/15 double now? Ironically, it should free up spaces in the...

It would be a travesty if we didn't take 4 women in the 800. It should be Hodgkinson, Reekie , Bell (13th on the list) and once you take Muir (who is...

Agreed - Track Town USA, my ar$*! Typical Nike hype. Luckily, us Brits will make some noise at the WCh. that said, I suspect as a man in my late 50s...

I actually feel more - not less - optimistic about Dina's 200 medal prospects after this weekend. Thomas is out. Chafford is right - Steiner has run...

[Sovietvest]

I don’t think you can switch allegiance in two weeks 😉. More likely that she wasn’t selected for the CG because EA knew she was in the process...

UKA describe it as an "inspirational new design".

No, it's one of the designs USATF rejected for their team and makes our athletes...

UKA have prioritised medals over Top 8s for many years. That's why mediocre sprinters get funded to be part of squads and distance runners and field...

Just realised that MB missed Ovett off his list. Shame on him - I take back my support of his comments and am now 100% in Marilyn's corner!!!

[Sovietvest]

Read what he wrote - he recognised that the current crop are not world beaters but showed via statistics that we have strength in depth. He even acknowledged...

Don't rule out the possibility that what OH refers to as her talent may have been enhanced greatly by PEDs, so leaving Mitchell might make her slower....

[Sovietvest]

Genuine question - did you ever compete? If you think that any one of the athletes in contention for WCH qualification will be anything short of absolutely...

[Sovietvest]

You don't consider it legal, even though WA does?! And why is it worthy of such skepticism. The guy has run 20.08 or faster on 10 occasions.

What if Wightman is 3rd and Kerr 4th, Laps?

[Sovietvest]

Fair comment Marra! I should have written that a medal in Eugene may prove to be a greater achievement than the Doha gold. Let's see what level of performance...

[Sovietvest]

The selectors could do themselves and the athletes a big favour by announcing now - as a one-off, with no intention of creating a precedent - that for...

[Sovietvest]

She's never run lots of 200s prior to the Trials. In 2018, if you exclude the Commies in April, she ran zero 200s before the Trials. In 2021 she ran...

Staines ran a terrible race tactically in Marseille, boxed and chopping his stride for 500m and then running wide from 500 to 700.. I wouldn't be surprised...
