Athing Mu has failed to make the US team for Paris after falling in the 800m trials. I must admit I'm a bit disappointed not to see the battle with Keely and Mora.. but positive news for the Brits' medal hopes.

I guess its pretty difficult to do this in America but if this was Keely or maybe even Jemma they would be put on the team no matter what.

That’s kind of where I am with it tbh.

 

Reekie has a chance of bronze if she doesn’t try and follow the big 2. If she goes all out for gold I’d worry she dies on the home straight out of the medals 

Reekie has a tendency to front run - she must resist that instinct, and basically tuck in behind Hodkinson the entire way - there's just a chance, if she does that, Keely drags her to a medal, possibly even past Moraa.

America is incredibly litigious - if they tried discretionary picks, they'd be drowned in lawsuits.

It wouldn't be a problem if they had the policy written out in advance. They just can't change it midway through the competition!

 

It would be the same in the UK if both Keely and Jemma fell and the top 2 had the Q. Only one of them would make it.

Men's 100 at the trials, who do we think is getting the 2 spots? 

Am hoping hinchliffe, and maybe Prescod?

That event and both 800's and 1500's are what intrigue me the most, everything else should be pretty clear cut, was gonna go but all tickets on home straight are gone and i can't be bothered sitting anywhere else

If I'm talking about who I would like to get the spots, Azu and Hinchliffe.

 

I'm intrigued for the 400s as well. Relay implications there.

 

The middle distances are where the real action is at though.

Wondering if a quick UK Athletics Trials prediction thread might be in order...

I’d expect a good win for Charlie Dobson for the win in the 400 with Toby Harries my surprise podium.

 

Phoebe Gill to shock Reekie and claim the 800m title.

 

Neita v Dina in the 200m will be a great battle, I’m edging Dina to take it.

 

other than that I agree with most of these predictions. Possibly Hinchliffe to beat Azu in the 100m.

Mills has dropped the 5k for just the 1500m here.

 

Pozzi out of the hurdles, which is a shame, although if they did want to select him I guess there's nothing stopping them. No Aimee Pratt either.

 

For what it is worth (not much), here's my thoughts:

 

100m - (M) Azu, Hinchliffe, Glave ;  (W) Neita, Hunt, Wedderurn-Goodison

200m - (M) MHS, Quainoo, Efoloko ; (W) DAS, Neita, Agyapong

400m - (M) Dobson, Carvell, Smith ; (W) Anning, Nielsen, Ohuruogo

800m - (M) Pattison, Giles, Sharman-Newell ; (W) Reekie, Gill, Baker

1500m - (M) Wightman, Gourley, Mills ; (W) Muir, Bell, Walcott-Nolan

5000m - (M) Dever, Atkin, Rowe ; (W) Fry, Nuttall, Fitzgerald

3000m SC - (M) Norman, Seddon, Pierce ; (W) Bird, Thorner, Tank

110m H - (M) Bennett, Ojora, King, : (W) Sember, Pawlett, Wakefield

400m H - (M) Chalmers, Faulds, Derbyshire ; (W) Nielsen, Knight, Newnham

 

HJ - (M) JCK, Grimsey, Jack (W) Lake, KJT, Ferguson

PV - (M) Heard, Hague, Coppell ; (W) Caudrey, Bradshaw, Ashurst

LJ - (M) JFD, Farquhson, Fortheringham ; (W) Hopkins, Irozuru, Olajide

TJ - (M) Falode, Ajala, Bright-Davies ; (W) Ojora, Metzger, Omitowoju

 

SP - (M) Lincoln, Cameron, Swan ; (W) Vincent, Omoregie, Campbell

Discus - (M) Okoye, Percy, Thompson ; (W) Lally, Law, Oladipo

Hammer - (M) Norris, Ikeji, T Campbell; (W) Purchase, Payne, Mayho

Javelin - (M) East, Evans, Bainbridge ; (W) Walton, F Jones, A Jones

    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
    • They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there? 
    • That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.    
    • Philip Rivers' possible return to NFL while being a semifinalist for the Hall of Fame certainly wasn't on my bingo card. But well. So far he's only on the practice squad
    • Thursday December 11th, 2025 - Round-Robin Day 4 Schedule (GMT +1)   12:30   Austria vs Ukraine 16:00   Norway vs Kazakhstan 19:30   Slovenia vs France
