Great bronze for Jack Carlin.

 

mens relay was a mess but I think the team will take that as another medal.

This forum: Oh no another event ruined with a silver medal. 
 

Disappointing yes, but no reason to tear them to shreds. 
 

Would absolutely hate for them to read any of this.

Oh come on we weren't lashing them with tons of abuse we were just voicing our dissapointment with how a golden opportunity slipped through our grasp by not taking our opportunities within the race, of course silver is still a good achievement considering how they performed but if what most of us said is considered abuse then I don't know what is.

Given the lack of an obvious '4th' runner on form this season and questions over Zharnel's fitness, you would hope so.

Vindicates Team GB’s selection strategy. Few individuals all on the relay’s

It was described as "awful", "a mess" and "pathetic". And that was just on one page. For a team that just won a silver medal. Not a medal handed to them, a medal they had to earn.

5th and a new NR for Amber. Solid run.

[RussB 189]

New br for Amber !

[cjsavory 44]

Massive run from Anning - broke the British record by over a tenth of a second on a wet track! Can't ask for any more than that.

49.29 is great! 48.1 is craziness
