It says a lot that a disappointing championships still sees us 3rd on the medal table! I fully expect that in Birmingham we'll be back on top.

 

That time for the women's relay would have beaten the NRs of all bar USA, Jamaica, East Germany, Russia, us, Germany, France and Cote d'Ivore. Shows how impressive they were, even without Lansiquot.

Very worrying news about Jess Warner-Judd - you might remember she was heading for a top 10 place in the Women's 10000m on Tuesday with about 2-3 laps to go but DNF.  Well, there was a reason.

To e fair it would be a hell of a lot more worrying if we didn't find out why

As now we come across the world
To share these Games of old
Let all the flags of every land
In brotherhood unfold

With two weeks left in the selection window, who else do you think has a realistic shot of achieving the qualifying time/distance? Of those who haven't yet made it, I'm keeping a particularly close eye on:

 

Alastair Chalmers (400mH)

Jake Norris (Hammer)

Hannah Nuttall (5000m)

Jade Lally (Discus)

 

Would definitely be good to get some more Field athletes into the team!

I don't see Lally getting the distance unless she gets another competition in Ramona.

 

Kenneth Ikeji in the hammer is in roughly the same situation as Norris - both about 30cm short. Bekah Walton in the javelin needs to find about 1.5m. She's been consistently improving over the last couple of years, so it's not outside the range of possible.

 

We've got a couple of promising female TJers and LJers but I think the Q is likely to be beyond them this year.

 

Nicole Yeargin (400m) ran 51.32 earlier today, so she's not too far away. Seamus Derbyshire (400m H) ran a flat PB today but would need a substantial hurdles PB to challenge that mark.

 

Holly Bradshaw (PV), Eugene Amo-Dadzie (100m) are a couple of other older athletes looking for the standard.

As an aside that sort of time bodes well for Yeargin being one of the 4 chosen in the relay final. Also she might well be a contender to run in the mixed relay (at least heat) if she doesn’t make the individual.

 

I’m hoping we get a couple more field athletes there, it’s sad to see so little GB representation. The two boys in the hammer are banging on the door, and it would be great to see someone break through in the javelin again.

We really need a grassroots night of 10k m PBs style event for throws, jumps and multievents to create some momentuum and opportunity in these events

Certainly does feel like it needs something fresh at the junior / grassroots level. Lessons must be able to be learnt from the middle distance evolution in the UK that has made such a strength out of 800-1500m and beyond up to 10k.

 

Perhaps we were spoilt by the era of Backley / Edwards / Idowu. Since then it’s been Sophie Hitchon in and HB in the PV who have made a dent at the highest level in the field events. All hopes on Molly in Paris!

As long as we have the "increased standards" swimming-style model, I don't think it matters much what else we do.

 

That policy is absolutely crippling GBR participation at worlds and Olympics in field events. And without the visability of those athletes, it's tough to see where the potential stars of the future are going to come from.

    • Choosing the right Study Abroad Consultant is a critical step for students looking to pursue education overseas. With so many options available, it can be challenging to determine which consultant is best suited for your academic goals. To make the most out of your study abroad journey, it is essential to find a reliable consultant who understands your educational needs and helps you navigate the complexities of applying to international universities. Here are some essential factors to consider when choosing the right Study Abroad Consultant for your academic goals. 1. Evaluate Their Expertise and Experience When selecting a Study Abroad Consultant, it is crucial to assess their experience and expertise in the field. A well-established consultant with years of experience will have in-depth knowledge of the study abroad process, including admission requirements, visa processes, and scholarship opportunities. You should look for consultants who specialize in your preferred countries and courses. This ensures they are up-to-date with the latest changes in university admissions and can provide the best guidance. For example, The Student Helpline, a reputable education consultancy, offers personalized guidance for students seeking education in various countries. Their team of experienced counselors helps students with course selection, university shortlisting, and the entire application process. 2. Check Their Track Record of Success Another important factor to consider is the consultant’s track record. Ask about their success rate with student placements in prestigious universities. Testimonials and reviews from previous clients can give you insight into the consultant's ability to deliver results. A high success rate in placing students in top-tier institutions suggests that the consultant has a good understanding of the admission processes and can guide students effectively. The Student Helpline has built a strong reputation for helping students secure admissions to top universities across the globe. Their comprehensive support has helped many students achieve their academic goals, making them a trusted partner in the study abroad journey. 3. Assess Their Range of Services A comprehensive Study Abroad Consultant should offer a wide range of services that go beyond just university applications. From visa counseling to pre-departure briefings, they should provide support at every stage of the process. Ensure that the consultant you choose offers services that align with your needs. Some consultants may also assist with accommodation arrangements, travel plans, and scholarship applications. The Student Helpline stands out in this regard by offering end-to-end services, including visa support, financial aid guidance, and even post-arrival services. Their holistic approach ensures that students feel supported throughout their entire study abroad experience. 4. Personalized Guidance for Academic Goals Every student has unique academic goals, so it's essential to find a Study Abroad Consultant that offers personalized guidance. A good consultant will take the time to understand your academic background, future aspirations, and career goals before recommending the right course and university for you. They should also be able to suggest alternative options if your initial choices don’t work out. At The Student Helpline, students receive tailored guidance based on their individual preferences and qualifications. The consultancy team takes the time to understand each student’s academic strengths and career objectives before crafting a personalized study plan. 5. Transparency and Ethical Practices Transparency is a critical factor when choosing a Study Abroad Consultant. You should ensure that the consultant is clear about their fees, services, and processes from the start. Some consultants may charge hidden fees or promise unrealistic outcomes to lure students in, so it’s essential to choose a consultant that operates with integrity. Reputed consultants like The Student Helpline follow transparent practices, offering students a clear breakdown of costs and services. Their ethical approach ensures that students receive honest guidance, avoiding false promises and unnecessary expenses. 6. Availability and Communication Effective communication is key when working with a Study Abroad Consultant. Ensure that your consultant is readily available to answer your questions and provide updates throughout the application process. Delayed responses or lack of communication can cause unnecessary stress during an already overwhelming time. The Student Helpline is known for maintaining open channels of communication, offering prompt responses and updates at every step. Their consultants are available to provide students with the clarity they need to make informed decisions about their study abroad plans. Conclusion Choosing the right Study Abroad Consultant is a significant decision that can influence the success of your international education journey. By evaluating their experience, track record, range of services, and ethical practices, you can make an informed choice that aligns with your academic goals. Reputed consultants like The Student Helpline can help you navigate the complex process of studying abroad and ensure that your dreams of an international education become a reality. By choosing wisely, you can maximize your chances of success and embark on a fulfilling academic journey overseas.    
    • To pass that pin, they could have done a hug. I think the whole scene seems made to arrive to the kiss (why is Gil-galad there but is not involved in treating? He should be the one to decide after all), so to cater to the romantic part of the audience (again, soap opera style) and to get negative reactions from who knows that it'd be sacrilege in this world.  As for the orcs, same as everything else - they want to add something revolutionary in that world but then immediately inconsistent. One scene orcs want to be loved, the next one savagely licking blood from knives (copied from LotR of course), then back to wanting love. It's like they didn't read the script they wrote.
    • Which is why I'm not reading the books, ever (because obviously he is never going to finish that). No problem with the shows though.
    • I honestly wonder how that can be done. Generally speaking, rider behaviour is most likely the first thing one would have to look at. So many bad falls due to riders just not paying attention, taking insane and often even unncessary risks or (hello Jay Vine) coming from the world of things like Zwift and therefore not having basic bike control skills.   There's of course also other things, like mass sprints on those super wide and straight roads.
    • They see dying to help Gaza like a honor of warriors they did what  they can  ...Hezbollah are paying their empathy by avoid  civilians ...enormous mistake                 
    • The terrorist Dick schoof is sending weapons to the terrorist Satanyahu    his name is Dick 
    • nothing related to the leader , their goal is to kill people and steal the land 
    • @Sindo Not to be annoying  But a page being full after 3 (!) posts surely isn't by design, but something not going entirely right in the forum software?     It was already honestly too little to have a new page every 10 posts, but every 3 is a bit much  
    • They infiltrate governements and use black magic  money and media to manipulate them , well done Satan 
    • Rumours are saying terrorist leader Hassan Nasrallah of Hezbollah may have been killed. Wouldn't be surprising, since yesterday's large attacks they have not made a single coherent statement, it's like all leadership is gone.
