Indoor meet tomorrow, featuring James Dasaolu and Kim Collins, on Europsort @ 6pm.

Headie 31-01-2015 04:37 PM

Jenny Meadows has ran a 1:59.23 World Leading time in the 800m today.

Seren Bundy-Davies with a 52.20 PB as well, both in Vienna.

Headie 31-01-2015 05:40 PM

And now another WL from Dina Asher Smith! :o 7.12 =WL

Novo 01-02-2015 06:27 AM

Schippers got DQ'd in that race for the worst false start ever lol Brilliant time for Dina, dont think it will be long before she is getting 7.10 and under, Laura Muir had a brilliant run for 2nd as well for her personal best

Headie 01-02-2015 07:44 PM

CJ Ujah ran a new PB today at Lee Valley (round 1: 6.57/round 2: 6.53), which is a Euro Qualifier

Hopefully he can dip under 10 seconds again this year.

Definitely think we have a good shot at topping the medal table at the Euro indoors this year, what with loads of Russians being banned for doping.

Novo 02-02-2015 03:35 AM

Kim Collins setting a PB in Moscow at the age of 38, unreal.

Headie 03-02-2015 07:36 PM

Macie Lightfoot 15-02-2015 06:10 PM

I know no one cares about American track and field BUT Millrose Games were last night here are some highlights:

-Brycen Spratling set a world record in the 500 at 60.06 (old WR was 60.17 back in 1987) but it's such a rarely run race so :shrug:
-Robby Andrews still races like a high schooler :rolleyes:
-Ashton Eaton almost died lmfao
-Fastest Kid on the Block false started but because "they're just kids" still won :rolleyes:
-Jordan Hasay had a surprisingly good race in the Mile, Mary Cain not so much

Andy Vernon and Mo Farah kicking off on Twitter :joker:

AV: Another stellar field against @Mo_Farah on home turf this weekend at Birmingham. #joke

MF: @AndyVernonGB Shame you didn't make the line up....again #ComeBackWhenYouWinSomethingDecent

AV: Lol @Mo_Farah I think even you can work out that I can make the cut to the Indoor Grand Prix. Lets hope no one loses their shoe...

MF: @AndyVernonGB I wish you did make the cut mate so I can leave you in my dust like ALWAYS!! hahahaha #hatersgonnahate

AV: @Mo_Farah. 1) stop quoting Taylor Swift. 2) I don't hate you Mo. I would just rather watch a race than the the Mo Show. #playersgonnaplay

MF: @AndyVernonGB that's why they didn't put you in the race mate.. Cos you're an embarrassment!! Taylor swift can probably run faster than you!

AV: @Mo_Farah She probably could at the moment. Good luck for the WR attempt

Black Dagger 18-02-2015 02:27 PM

Andy is a massive cock isn't he... didn't he have a go at Sharp because she was happy she won a silver medal.
