An impressive eight national records set in Paris.

 

Men's & Women's - 400 m

Men's & Women's - 1500 m

Women's - 3000 m steeplechase

Men's, Women's & Mixed - 4×400 m relays 

 

Also the only country to medal in all five relays thanks to the US's  ongoing problems in the men's 4×100 m relay!

 

On the downside our field event performances continue to decline with the solitary exception of Jacob Fincham-Dukes who excelled himself with a fifth place finish in the LJ.

As always, plenty of medals for :GBR in Turkey this morning.  We did not manage a medal for every single runner, which we have done a couple of times before, but certainly either a team or individual medal in every single race.

I know not technically GB related but it's always nice to have a laugh before they get it horribly wrong.

    • I think the reason is that it's generally preferable to have a fast shooter in the 1st leg, and especially in the prone shooting, where Hofer is quite slow.   Now, I'm not saying I agree with the choice, because I don't. I think it's going to neutralize Giacomel's skiing skills in the 1st lap at least.   I guess the idea is to try and set a very fast pace in the 1st leg, which is usually quite tactical, but I'm afraid that's going to force Giacomel to risk too much because he will feel he has to make some time somehow.   Regardless, Italy must be on the podium tomorrow. I think that would be crucial for the following races as well. I think France is the clear favorite, but the other teams are not stronger than Italy on paper.
