She’s having a baby year, actually.  Will be concentrating on her pace-making career come 2022, I think.

 

Yes, I know. But with Reekie & Hodgkinson around I'd say her comeback will not be anticipated at all. The fact she decided to have a baby in the Olympic year tells you she's done as a serious athlete IMO.

:GBR Women’s 800m running just super hot right now, EJR for Keeley Hodgkinson.

 

800m guys must be kicking themselves, only Burgin goes with the pace, gets the win, WL & OQ.

How is it an European junior record when 5 European women have been faster in the U20?

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

The irony of something like this coming from a polish person ...

EJR are the best performance of an athlete before the year of their 20th birthday. Maybe the other 5 ran the times in the year they turned 20?

Huh? What's the irony? Reekie & Hodgkinson's results speak for themselves. Sharp has minimal chance to regain #1 UK status at 800m and I presume she knows it full well.

    • Yep. Not sure if it was the NOC or the biathlon federation (I assume the latter) that put him in the Livigno training 'world' with a former Italian biathlete as coach, but they can definitely also be blamed:  almost everyone involved in that shitshow got the motivation just sucked out of them by the methods and shitty atmosphere until they either retired or changed country

    • Lots of injuries, including often just pure bad-luck stuff like a fall from a set of stairs, illness, and of course the Sochi tragedy in 2014: one of her biathlon friends, young Julia Pieper, killed herself with a biathlon rifle early during the Olympics (she wasn't on the team, but was a training partner of both Preuss and Dahlmeier). Obviously a hard hit, which led to terrible Olympics for Preuss, with a DNF, awful results in her other individual races and a relay where she was the first runner for Germany, but fell early on, got snow in her rifle and broke a pole and ended up losing almost 3 minutes, which in turn resulted in Germany being off the podium for the first time ever.   After that came all the injuries and illness and everything. So glad to finally see her have her big individual global gold, that is so well deserved.
