Please seriously dont tell me you think we are a dominant 10,000m natiom, that cant be one of the events you are refering to We had ONE runner 🤣

Yeah im not counting the walk 🤣

Do we need to take a ton of athletes that are just happy to be there and bomb out in the heats though, the athletes that have qualified are the quality ones. A standard needs to be set somewhere i think. Theres only one track event we havnt qualified in i think? As for field, the ones that arent going are MILES off the pace of being competitive internationally

ffs kerr you better be ok also just potentially torpedoed giles olympic hopes

Remco flying in out of nowhere

I got a trolley-train up that climb, was easy. wife specifically said "i am not walking up that"

Hudson-Smith is flying!

i'm not confident of that either, he was flying, but probably running off pure anger, who knows maybe UKA will do the right thing but he does only have himself to blame sadly, resident misery guts will have a field day with this story if they don't take him

Lina Nielsen with a great 400mh run just outside her personal best Chalmers just blew it by false starting on a 400m race, what a douche

i dont think there will be riots because we (potentially) don't have someone in the mens 400mh and men's steeplechase, i honestly don't think anyone will care at all. Otherwise britain will be represented in every other track event, guaranteed.

This is kind of where i stand, i am a HUGE athletics fan, but when UKA leave an athlete at home who probably wont make a final, probably struggle for a semi spot, i am none to botherd. UKA have their standard and that is what the athletes should aim for, not a lesser qualification standard that just gets you to the show. If this was GB of old (92...96) then sure, send as many as possible and just be happy to be there, but GB now are a global powerhouse of sport and the athletes should be pushed to achieve higher standards of qualification. Some athletes will be upset to miss out, but GB have layed out exactly what you need to do to qualify, if you give them the option of leaving you at home, then do better.

things that didn't happen, and wont happen ^^

what did you enjoy about todays athletics?

oh, i was sure i have been hearing all week about how chalmers in the 400h could have one last chance at london diamond league if he didnt get the time today. "I think this will most likely be the last chance," Chalmers told BBC Radio Guernsey. "Potentially at the London Diamond League next month, but that's a massive if and it depends on what happens this weekend, but most likely this is it.

can hunt get the time at the diamond league? i guess she would need an invite and i dont know if she has one

happy with that 100m qualifcation of hinchliffe and azu, then zharnel getting the discretionary pick, womens should be neita, lansiqot and asha-smith, both 4x100 teams should be right up there with medal chances as well

That was good fun

1. 12 with 13k to go think bardet is doomed, and i have £1 on mads 🤣 keep going EF!

Fincham-Dukes won the gb nationals long jump, think he has the standard? Does that mean hes going? Commentators didnt really say anything about it which i found odd

gonna be fighing for top european nation, and probably 4th (maybe 3rd) overall, i think the hosts are gonna have a big games so it will be impressive if GB beat them

One of them was shown 🫣

He looks rough, gotta be ill, being watered like a beached whale

Men's 100 at the trials, who do we think is getting the 2 spots? Am hoping hinchliffe, and maybe Prescod? That event and both 800's and 1500's are what intrigue me the most, everything else should be pretty clear cut, was gonna go but all tickets on home straight are gone and i can't be bothered sitting anywhere else

Agree but this slightly makes up for the archibald news

I get what you mean about it being soulful, it sucks that they lost the ability to watch everything through them
