I wasn't clear from the interview if she was injured or not - although was left with a feeling that she was a big fan of Lancashire Anyhow, just watched the presentation of athletes for the Golden Roof challenge and she wasn't there so assume injury/niggle.

'Rope' Nielsen takes the win in Chorzow in an Olympic Qualifying time of 54.73 - matching her PB.

Conor Bentley won the World Cup Event in Samarkand this morning. Jack Wilis was also competing and finished in 21st. In the women's event, Jessica Fullagar was second with Sian Rainsley in 8th place.

However he does have a nasty tendency of under performing when it really matters though - I don't think he's really been close to securing a quota in the qualifying events to date.

The allocation of the 2023 World Championship quotas has been changed. In the 2023 version, there was only a reallocation of the '23 WC quotas if there was a continent that hadn't qualified through the OQS or after reallocation of '22 World Champs quotas. Now the '23 WC quotas are reallocated to non-qualified NOCs.

Looks like I've been a bit naive in believing that Holly Mills could perhaps challenge the 6,000 mark on her return from injury lay-off. She looked really sluggish in the 100m hurdles and was amongst the slowest in the field - in fact the only 2 athletes who ran slower than her had fallen over in their heats.

Current Combined Boulder/Lead Quota Simulation After Shanghai: 1.) Seo Chaehyun 2.) Brooke Raboutou 3.) Miho Nonaka 4.) Ievgeniia Kazbekova 5.) Futaba Ito 6.) Luo Zhilu 7.) Zélia Avezou 8.) Erin McNeice 9.) Camila Moroni 10.) Lucia Dorffel 11.) Kim Jian 12.) Mia Krampl

To be fair to them, they do publish rankings after every event - it's just this event hasn't finished yet

Lucy Hall frustratingly inconsistent again. She led competition after 100 targets only to get a 21 in the final round and now faces shoot off to get into the final. Thank goodness she already has her ticket to Paris.

I expect they will - they published a ranking for BMX Freestyle after the final. If they follow the same approach, the winner will get 50 points, 2nd 45, 3rd 41 4th gets 38 points and 5th gets 36. After that it goes down 1 point at a time. On that basis, Moroni would get 32 points for finishing in 9th place.

Realistically, there will be 11 places available - 10 standard and the host quota reallocation

On the upside, Moroni is at least in a quota qualifying position

It's carnage in the 100m hurdles at Gotzis and we've already lost 3 athletes in the space of 4 heats - Weisenberg had a run out and both Palm and Sprengel have falls.

Both McArthur and McNiece advance to the final of the climbing combined. Have to confess, I fell asleep after the boulder round but it doesn't look like McNiece had a great Lead round albeit it was quite a low scoring round but a score of 20 would suggest that she fell quite low down the wall. McArthur's 45.1 was the 5th highest score so his main frustration likely to be a missed opportunity to get a 3rd top in the earlier boulder comp.
