Noted that Ennis comments that UKA and the "great" CVC tried to insist that she and Minichiello came down to London to train; what a bunch of busybodying fools and thank goodness they were told to go away and play.

KJT will be 20 next year and an interesting comparison will be able to be made with what Ennis achieved asa 20 year old, re a Hep score and individually. This year already KJT is approx the same overall score that JE achieved at 20, namely 6286. KJT is in advance of JE's efforts in the LJ and 800 m; behind in the Shot; same approx at Jav; way behind in the Hurdles and half a second behind JE in the 200m. True comparison will be end of next season.

In a couple of years, assuming they are both still around, there might not be too much between them.
Having said that , I expected Daphne Schippers to be a bit more of a threat in the summer. That didn't happen.
Its going to be interesting to see how things progress.
