Just wanted to give a quick shoutout to @Epic Failure @pacowong1223 @duineeile @Rich @silentAssassin who joined the forum recently 

9th place finish for Bello brothers in Xiamen Challenger . They pick up another 450 ranking points and move up to 25th in the world - I think that's the highest I've seen them but I've only been tracking them over the last 18 months or so. They're still a couple of thousand points short of a quota spot so I think it will be difficult, but not impossible, for them to get direct qualification. 
 
Later this week, they will be back in  for the Elite 16 event in Brasilia and the good news is that they have direct entry this time so no need to go through qualifying. That will guarantee them another 460 points.
 
They've got a tough pool - to be expected at this level - and have been drawn against  Evandro/Arthur,  Bryl/Losiak and a qualifier. 
 
 

Thank you! I've found the forum really interesting with lots of results from competitions I had no idea even existed. So many sports disappear from mainstream coverage between Olympics and, while I was aware that people were out competing,  I had no idea how busy the BMXers and the fencers etc are. The forum also really added to my enjoyment of the GB swimming trials so thanks to all the people who post.

April State of Play 
 
Women's 100m
With April coming to an end, we've now seen the vast majority of GB sprinters start their outdoor season and there has been plenty of positives. In the absence of Asher-Smith and Nieta, Imani Lansiquot leads the British rankings with her 11.02 in Florida this weekend. Amy Hunt's strong indoor form seems to have carried over into the outdoor season as she records a new PB 11.12 in Florida. 
 

 
Men's 100m
In contrast to the women, we haven't seen the main GB contenders take to the outdoor track. Jeremiah Azu has come closest to getting the Olympic qualifying standard when he clocked 10.00 at the Kip Keino Classic. Unfortunately, the wind was +2.2m/s. Harry Aikines-Aryeetey tops the times so far this year with a 10.17 and behind him, there have been PBs for John Otugade, Jona Efoloko and Ade Adewale.
