Sharp has minimal chance to regain #1 UK status at 800m and I presume she knows it full well. She's had a good career but she's over 30 and unlikely to improve. I do feel sorry for her at being the victim of bullying by Semenya fans who thought she said worse things about Caster than she did. What she actually said in 2016 was "“It is out of our control and we're pretty much relying on people at the top sorting it out,” . “The public can see how difficult it is… but all we can do is give it our best.” I can't see much controversial in that Makedonas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Burgin not Hodgkinson who set the EJR. Hodgkinson's effort was a NR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we'll have the steady heavy rain as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
