Was expecting something from hawkins today.
But he's still a young chap.

on the girls side, neita really looks impressive thus far.

6.19 in LJ at the under 17s champs this past weekend.

Keep up the good work, girl.

Yes, I too was bemused by the 800 time commentary. A junior just runs 1.43 and he said it was 'solid'. Lol. Also, when gb fell over both commies said it was usa who fell over and then later in the race they said 'oh, the Americans have somehow managed to get back in this race'. And even after USA wo...

Hehe. Spiteful? Yes. Facetious? Yes.

But on a serious note. Seniors make the same mistake. So clearly at junior level I would expect it to be more prevelant. Papps is less likely to do it in the future now as hopefully she will learn from it.

Any updates on our hep girls?

Very pleased. Reminded me of the 10.07 by Dwain many years ago.

Well done young man.

Never seen Gorecka before and was impressed. In particular the fact that she left enough in the tank for a strong finish. It looked like the east africans would completely gobble her up but she held her own to the end.

is paris on red button tonight?

Why did she pull out?
Rumours floating around Nike paid her off. lol.

sheesh..
never knew merritt was so good at the 110h.

felix's time puts her 4th all time list.

kjt will compete over hurdles, lj and hj.
looking forward to gemili v bolarinwa in 200.

Create a thread and and I'm sure people will discuss it in there.

Indeed optimistic, but if she did it, she would go 6th on the all time junior list.

I knew it.
Doesn't matter what the conditions are like. KJT is not letting anything get in way of her mission to 6150. Let's get another pb, maybe a 2.16, to finish this off.

Nice to see Barrie Wells keeping up with things as well. His funding of youth athletes is something to admire.

I'm really pumped for today.
Comon Katarina. Let's do this!

Nice comeback for gay. 10 flat into a 1.5 headwind is promising.

Screw the conditions. I'm getting the impression from reading these results that KJT's simply going to will her way to the A standard come what may. But just think of what she could've done in the hurdles and 200m if it were still conditions (let alone tailwinds). She's coming along just nicely. 8)...

I recall last season some athletes having a ball at loughborough on the track and field, because of dodgy wind meters, one swallow does not make a summer., let us see if these athletes repeat their outstanding performances at the trials then we can truly give them the acclaim they would obviously r...

No Haile at in the 10k at olympics.
"Tariku Bekele wins in new WL 27:11.70. Haile faded badly on last lap to finish 7th in 27:20. #fbkgame"

Apologies for asking again, but does anyone know if this will be on tele?

A thread for discussing this event.

Does anyone know whether it will be on t.v?

boooyah,
3.57 for dibaba.
let the games begin.

Rather impressive update on this youngster.

Am I missing something here? How are Kenya going to make the 4*400 final? http://daegu2011.iaaf.org/ResultsByDate.aspx?racedate=09-02-2011/sex=M/discCode=4X4/combCode=hash/roundCode=f/results.html#detM_4X4_hash_f They finished 6th at last year's WC...ahead of GB. Looks like I was missing something....

Hopefully KJT can keep it up.

Can't wait for the DL to start this year.

Sign him up.
The more the merrier!

proctor breaks gb record again,
osagie and pozzi with good perfs.

aha and jodie need to match their pbs to have a chance of progressing again.
