  1. How about this! Great news https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/swimming/67971901
  2. https://gbgames.sport.blog/2023/12/22/swimming-first-british-relay-team-qualifies-in-fukuoka/ The gold medal in the 4x200m Freestyle Relay.
  3. https://gbgames.sport.blog/2023/12/21/diving-brits-qualify-in-seven-of-eight-events/ The eight spots earned in Diving in Fukuoka.
  4. I am starting to update the blog (after four months of neglecting it), with previous qualification events. Starting with the Canoe Slalom at Kraków https://gbgames.sport.blog/2023/12/21/canoe-slalom-westley-gives-gb-first-berth-in-paris/
  5. The GB performance was really nice all things considered. KJT and Kerr were surprise golds. Hodgkinson may well have been disappointed with silver (Hudson-Smith was a bit too), plus that mixed relay where we won silver because Bol fell over. A really nice bronze for Pattison, Hughes would have been disappointed with only third (a good sign) and three more relay bronzes. Apart from that, in the last relay we came 4th, Hughes also got a 4th place and was right in the hunt, and Morgan Lake was one jump off a medal. Neita is in good form but the women's 200m was really fast, Reekie was also in the medal hunt, Caudery will have been happy with 5th. Muir is capable of better than her 6th, ditto Asher-Smith with her 7th (she's still not back to her best). And Warner-Judd, Snowden and Asher-Smith with the last points in 8th. This is well rounded, the only negative being no field medals (although we did win a title in the combined category). Paris will be much better than Tokyo.
  6. Nicely done Hudson-Smith, although he seems a bit disappointed it's silver.
  7. This day proved again what a great sport Athletics is
  8. Josh Kerr! Two Golds, one silver (relay) and a bronze for Hughes. Wow. Lightning striking twice, and still chances for more medals.
  9. Can someone explain the situation with coach Jorge Vilda? I see the controversy and mutiny about things like nutrition etc, but people are talking about him using words like "abuser"
  10. tbf, at least it happened to hassan and bol who will take loads of medals anyway. Imagine if it happened to someone like Wightman who had a once in a lifetime chance

  19. Job done... everyone was getting excited that and getting knocked out meant that we had an "easy run", have another thing now. Mind you, this was a bad performance no doubt, we have looked bad all (calendar) year... we should beat or though.
  20. Velodromes give me the willies a bit. They just look like a disaster waiting to happen
