The BBC clearly not happy with the size of the team this morning.

There was a big controversy that Guy Learmonth wasn't added to the team. UK Athletics policy is that only athletes with a chance at top eight get selected for some reason. I don't get why if noone is good enough we can't give a no-hoper the experience, and Learmonth isn't that.

Pawlett tenth in the High Jump with 1.70 and 855 points.

17.21 and 13th for Campbell.

Boffey 2:02.81, fourth, and out.

Think the issue was that Learmonth got a personal invite, not a team one.  I certainly agree with taking our top 21 year old if there’s a place, but for a perpetual never-quite like Learmonth…..not so sure.

Pawlett 8th in the Shot Put with 12.95 and 724 points.
