Continuing with women's 200m theme, the following did not run faster as seniors than they did as U20s 22.93 Vernicha James 23.20 i Amy Spencer 23.23 Sarah Wilhelmy 23.33/23.3 Linsey Macdonald in regards to Venicha not running faster she didnt run as a senior

Mick Morton- cruelly injured-World Champion as a junior Vernicha James-world champ- stopped due to personal circs Diane Smith -world junior champ-quit too early? Or at the right time ? (At the top)? Some of the earlier mentioned names hardly "got away". Michael East- Olympic finalist MLF-...

Indoor trials for shot should be much better this year myself , Zane , Ryan , Jamie, Scott , and also one of my lithuanian training partners Rimantus who is based in uk will be competing who also throws 18m but is looking good and could throw 19m also. im sure it will take 19m + to win which is star...

i know that mike, u never know things mite change in the near future hopefully

sounds good javman what the jav and hammer guys are doing would love to see something like a get toghether like that for shot and discus.

im not to sure on the funding as a hole apart from that unless u are right at the top of the game u get nothing. i as one try not to worry myself about something that wont come my way unless i get right to the top by myself. ive had to look for my own help which im in the process of sorting out fund...

thanks Jimbojames most apreciated

I understand Mike but its a shame to see the good coaches go to waste which i know and u know we have with the right help. Are you or should i say all us throwers and coaches fighting a loosing battle then or do u think it will change. i as one am doing mostly everything of my own back at the moment...

does this mean u are ready to get back more involved Mike would be good to see

I think we should have a thread rather than people arguing mybe u should start a thread that actually helps throwing in britain like all getting toghether and actually sorting out meet ups and throws squads and how as a hole we can improve giving each other ideas in all aspects of throwing. If u all...

Mike cant we get toghether are own throws group (squad days) and between us? all look for help and finacial support towards this even if only days or weekends throughout the year im sure my coach Mark chapman and myself would be up for this.

Mike u never have been one to beat around the bush and good to see u having your say.

i fully agree with Mike. i suggest u come back and get more invovled in the support Mike as u know what it takes to get athletes to the top level i.e judy Oakes, emeka , and others i think between yourself, John hillier , mark chapman and thew others u have the south covered but as for the rest of t...

Thanks for the support on my recent pb i said just over a year ago that it would not be long before a pb was on the cards i was hopeing for it last year but unfortunatly had a bad groin strain and problems with throwing hand which set me back 3 months. i recently picked up a disc problem in my back ...

While on the subject of BAL, some pleasing domestic level shot developments: Greg Beard who has occasionally posted here as Tucker cemented his return to the sport with an 18.14 PB. He has come a long way in a short time, so hopefully there's more to come. Jamie Williamson whose progress seemed to ...
