Bit of a worrying trend developing for him this season - he no heighted at the indoor trials earlier this year as well.

Amber Anning clocks 22.66 for 200m at SEC Championships. Think that could be a new outdoor PB (she ran 22.60 indoors earlier this year)

 

At the same competition, decathlete Jack Turner set PBs in both the 100m (10.57) and 400m (47.35). Added to a long jump of 7.39m, shot of 13.11m and high jump of 1.98m, he leads the competition at the halfway point with 4267 points and is on course for a new PB if he can match his season's best performance in the remaining events. He'd need to motor some if he wants to get to the OQS or the UKA standard though.

Lawrence Okoye goes out to 64.95m in 4th round of Doha Diamond League - well shy of the OQS, but 5cm longer than the UKA standard for an accepted WA invite.

Interesting 800m. Good run from Jemma but felt she left some time on the track when she had to run so wide on the final bend. She was never catching Moraa today but I like that she ran with intent at the start. I think she'll run a pb this year but she'll struggle to get in the top 3 in Paris. European silver definitely a possibility.

Molly running super strongly.  5m is possible this summer.

She was nailing the first attempts, which won her the comp tonight.

Molly is a huge talent and a genuine medal threat in Paris.

 

But 5m has only been done 12 times in history and 8 of those were Isinbayeva. She's not quite at that level yet.

 

Anything over 4.90 is very likely to get her on the podium in Paris.

Anything over 4.90 is pretty much evens to win her gold.
