Hi Geoff, i think asah is now with the female coach at Lee valley called Christine or christy. I think she was used to be a former international athlete herself. Regarding gelling the team, I was told the organisation and management last year apparently was rubbish and coupled with the fact that we ...

Hi, You are right the "real sub 10" Asha left Macfalane after Daegu, I think its a funny appointment and i don't see this working. Macfalane is a bit of a controversial figure (although he has prior experience) and I have been told the most of the girls might not like this appointment. I h...

.........And I just heard from some Loughborough Crew that James Dasaolu have now left the Mike kamel training group and joined Kevin Tyler.

Is Kevin meant to be some kind of high management at UKA......?

Anybody has anymore details of fact?

Great News for the country and athletics development in this country.

Its fantastic news especially after the Olympics but most importantly we would have a stadium especially for athletics.....

Great Job by UKA and all the athletes and fans that have supported this bid.

HURRAY......

This is the time of the year when athletes move to different coaches.

Do you know of any moves??

and can we talk/discuss the pros and cons of the moving process........ as its sometime controversial and in some cases UKA led which has not gone down well with some people.

What say you?

Leaving aside the very obvious ones, I'll go with: Clovis Asong (400) u17 men Desiree Henry (200) u17 women I think both these young athletes will have an amazing year in 2012. (Hope I haven't jinxed them!!) I think as a nation we have always had problems with great juniors that don't transfer to g...

Selected highlights from the 9th edition of the Athletics Bridge meet in Dubnica: Richard Thompson won men's 100 in 10.05, followed by Collins, Frater and Chambers. Easy win for Merritt in the 400m while Richardson (13.08) went unchallenged in the hurdles (runner-up Andy Turner was .4 of a second b...

200m went to form...good run from Luke Fagan from lane 8 good to see hes running well and fit for the first time have to agree with michael johnson whats going on with the mens 400m this year worldwide?? As a Enfield fan, I agree good to see luke Fagan beginning to knock on the senior door having h...

so we have 2 100m women over there kicking their heals waiting for the relay who could have both possibly won that final :evil: Completely agree, another UKA cock up. 1, they should not have set a silly date for selection when the rest of the world had another 2 weeks to get an even easier standard...

........According to his face book page Toby has called it a day.

Reports said he is not motivated and i don't think the injuries would have helped as well.

He thanked Ron & Linford for their help .

Shame really as I think he had a long way to go in the sport.

Hi All, Apparently the weather was a bit of a problem, but someone that went there and saw the race said Kwakkye did not react and got caught out by the gun and just jumped up and ran and also stopped running with 10m to go which was when Jodie went past Kwakkye later confirmed this was the case at ...

I thought she was in a lot better shape as well. *Waits for 1937 to post along the lines of "11.18 my arse*. :lol: I have to say that ( Anyika )women 100m run did not look like a 11.1 performance... even with a so called bad start ( and she is not renown for starting ) i still think she should...

Everyone is coached by Dan Pfaff aren't they..... from throwers to jumpers short distance to long distance.. he has it covered.... Yes you are right, I just spoke to someone that said dan is coaching a lot of athlete and some coaches have been undermine as athletes have moved to him without them kn...

Hi, Any results from D.Chambers this weekend, i think he was running in San diego State meets or somewhere in LA? What about Andy Turner or any of our top sprinters girls? Chambers ran in a relay with r.fifton, c.malcolm, m. devonish winning in 39.42 in windy conditions and run a 10.57 into a -3.4 ...
