Women's 400m

Amber Anning has had a great start to the season, and it is surely only a matter of time before she goes sub-50 seconds. Victoria Ohuruogu made a strong start to the season and is well placed to get the Olympic qualifying standard over the next few weeks.

Men's 400m

Last year, Matt Hudson Smith DNF'd in 2 of his first 3 400m races. This year, he was DNF in his first race before clocking 45.00 in Louisiana this weekend. Given his individual medal from last year's World Champs, in theory that should be sufficient to secure his qualification to the Olympic team.

Men's 110m Hurdles

There's positive signs that we could be heading towards a full team for the sprint hurdles. Tade Ojora heads the rankings with his 13.48 from the Mt Sacs Relay this weekend and it is also looking like Andy Pozzi has put his injury issues behind him as he has already completed about half a dozen races this season with his best time being 13.49. 

 

Women's 100m Hurdles

Cindy Sember is getting close to her best times again and has wrapped up the Olympic qualifying standard early with a run of 12.57 in Florida last weekend. Isabel Wakefield has also been making great progress this year with her 13.15 getting close to the European Championship qualification standard.

Oh No

 

 

Does this mean possibly no jumpers? In any of the four vertical jump. Surely we can’t have only KJT in Hepthalon the only one doing any?

There's a couple of female long jumpers who don't need a lot of improvement to qualify but it depends on their fitness of course.

Jacob Fincham-Dukes in the men's event has already jumped 8.02 this year. The Q is 8.27.

 

Let's not talk about triple jump...

:clap:Can I applaud you for not pointing out the obvious flaw in the previous poster's attempt to spread yet more misery and misinformation to the group. The "vertical jumps" that they seem to think will be bereft of British participation are actually in pretty rude health given that's the pole vault and high jump.

To be honest, I think I didn't read it properly :facepalm:

Selection of :GBR athletes in action over the course of this weekend including:

 

27th Apr: Shanghai Diamond League :CHN: Megan Keith secured the OQS in the 10,000m at the first time of asking. In Shanghai, she goes over the 5000m. Her PB in the event is just under 14:57 from last year so she would need to find 5 seconds to dip under the standard. Ethan Hussey will compete in the 800m and Daryll Neita gets her outdoor season underway in the 200m.

 

27th-28th: 37th Multistars :ITA: Jade O'Dowda is scheduled to compete in the Heptathlon. The OQS is 6480 - 225 points more than her current PB but it's not out of reach. If she can get under 13.5 for the 100m hurdles and get over 1.86 in the high jump, she'll set herself up with a great chance of getting the standard despite a relatively weak shot put. If she does fall short of the OQS, her secondary target will be the UK Athletics standard of 6260 - that's just 5 points more than her current PB.

 

27-Apr: Texas Invitational :USA: Dina Asher-Smith will line up in both the 100m and 200m. Whilst she has put in a couple of solid relay legs so far this season, her opening outing in the 200m earlier this month was probably not quite what she wanted it to be. Yusuf Bizimana will be going in the 800m

 

27-Apr: Desert Heat Classic :USA: David King opens his outdoor season in the 110m Hurdles, whilst Brodie Young is in the 400m 

 

27-Apr: Drake Relays :USA: Tade Ojora lines up in the 110m hurdles. He currently heads up the UK list for 2024 with his 13.48 but needs to find another 0.2 seconds to hit the OQS. Cindy Sember already has the OQS and has been in great form so far this year and will look to continue that in the 100m hurdles. Lizzie Bird makes her 2024 track debut in the 3000m Steeplechase

 

27-Apr: Penn Relays :USA: Kyle Langford competes in the 800m

Gutting for Sawyers. Although hopefully she won't miss the Games completely (if she doesn't want to, that is). She was excellent on comms at the World Champs. The Beeb would be insane not to use her in Paris if she's up for it.

Do you know when Lizzie Bird last ran as she was out injured for most if not all of last season?

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway 
    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)

    • is considering US born goalie Joey Daccord for the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off.    https://thehockeynews.com/news/team-canada-is-seriously-considering-usa-born-joey-daccord-for-4-nations-face-off   .923 SV% in 13 games, and 9-3-1 on the season. Would be a big pickup for our goalie issues.
