Dai's race is about 2min in. It was jumpy the 1st time i watched it but much better the 2nd time round. Hope that helps.

Brett Morse, only got 1 throw in but it was a PB effort - 63.35m for 6th place. Pleased to see him throw far in a good competition.

Mens 4x400 Admin wrote it was a great run by the Russians. It wasn't, actually it was just ok(3-02!!).The reason they won was because the so-called best teams ran very badly. I still dont follow why Greene is not considered for relay duty.I'd have a world-class hurdler in preference to an ordinary ...

It was amazing in the stadium tonight. The atmosphere was electric for the men's 1500m. Was so proud to be british and made a nice change from being 'nearly medal winners' to 'actual medal winners'. Just wish Hatti Dean had got the bronze she deserved and Christian had got that gold. Fantastic effor...

The link for results is http://ht.ly/2cOL8 So far Stevie Stockton won the women's 1500m in 4.20.93, Sarah Henton won the women's discus in 48.73 (Only 5 in it), Amy Harris won the long jump in 6.16m (Only 6 in it)

Noticed in the 400m hurdles that the crowd are very close to lane 8 and people are leaning over. Think that could impact on the people running in that lane, especially those who are hurdling as sometimes the athlete has to run to the outside of the lane.

Good to see Lisa Dobriskey running a big SB in the 1500 - 4.01.83. Very good news for Barcelona.

Rimmer came 5th in 1.44.49 (PB) and Dai ran 48.49 (SB) in the 400m hurdles, to come 5th. Both very promising results for the Europeans. Samson Oni, bit disappointing in 2.24m for high jump.

Good PB by Rebecca Peake in the shot, 16.62m, 1/2m further than her previous outdoor season's best too.

Christian Malcolm won the 200 in a legal 20.50 with Jeffrey LB 2nd in 20.52 both 'A' standards.

Leon Baptiste won the 2nd race in 20.69, and Mark Findlay 20.71, both 'B' standards. Could cause a dilemma for selection.

Dai will be the runner with the 'A' standard, Rhys will be the 'B' standard runner and then there's the opportunity for UKA to offer a discretionary place but they don't have to. As the men are doing so well in the 400mHurdles compared to other europeans chances are they will take someone. I think ...

Rhys 1st with 49.53, nathan 2nd in 49.77 (Could get taken with two 49.7 times) Big PB for David Hughes - 49.87 to come 3rd - wonder why these couldn't run this fast at the trials?

http://www.sep-olympic.ch/resisprint/ for the Swiss meeting. Takes about half an hour for them to update the results.

Forgot to mention earlier MLF ran 10.14sec with +2.1 wind to win, with Jeffrey LB 2nd in 10.21

Gillick did well in the 400m, winning with a season's best of 44.98, Tobin 3rd in 45.74 and Chris Clarke 46.50 for last.

In the 400m Vicki Barr 2nd in 52.40sec, Maz Okoro 3rd in 52.46, Nicola Sanders 52.78 Definitely think the altitude is helping them as Vicki Barr ran 53.23 last weekend. It's a shame Nadine Okyere didn't run there instead of Cork, as she beat Vicki last week, yet Cork didn't seem to produce fast times.

He ran 45.99

He ran 1.46.61 so 0.01sec off it big pb though.

They said that Nicola Sanders was 52.3 and Nadine was 52.6. Nadine doesn't always look as fast as she is as she doesn't have a particularly fast leg turnover.

The relay splits for the men's team were: Conrad Williams-45.9, Richard Buck-45.6, Chris Clarke-46.2, Michael Bingham 45.8 (slowed down when realised the Russians were going to win and he wasn't going to get caught)

Eilidh Child is ill so won't be doing the relay, Nadine Okyere will be replacing her. Dai Greene will also not be doing the relay, therefore Buck will be running.

Tomlinson needs to pull out a big jump if he wants to win the long jump - Russian currently winning with 8.26.

Fair play Colin McCourt, good race. From his interview sounds like he was thinking sensibly throughout the race too.5 more points than expected.

Caryl Granville (u23) also ran 59.99sec to win the women's 400mh in the Welsh Champs, which is a big SB and 0.04 off her PB, means she is the 8th woman under 60sec this year, and in windy conditions with 2nd place nearly 2 secs behind, definitely more to come.

Not Rhys Williams - he goes tomorrow in the 400m hurdles, Rhys Smith was 2nd.

At the Welsh champs Dai Greene won the 400m comfortably in 46.38, with Rhys Smith 2nd in 47.94, in windy conditions. Christian Malcolm won the 100m in 10.57 in to -1.2 m/s wind.

They came 3rd in Division 2 today at Derby, but there's no individual results up yet.

That PB by Eilidh Child puts her 4th on the UK all time list.

Chris Clarke 4th (46.31), Andrew Steele 5th (46.39), Kris Robertson 6th (46.79)

Kate Dennison cleared 4.50m but then passed 4.55 and failed all attempts at 4.60m. Finished 2nd.

Joice Maduaka 23.44 (-0.4) 7th in the 200m
