This Kuchina v Vlasic battle is amazing

Lifetime best on her 3rd attempt

Glasgow Grand Prix (also part of Diamond League) is this Friday @ 6:30pm on BBC2, and Saturday @ 2:30pm on BBC1. Should be a great event leading up to the commonwealths, will be the first time the stadium is used for athletics too.

Startlists here:

Looking forward to tomorrow's meeting

Amazing line up for the womens 400m and men's 100m

Christine O and Mo Farah have pulled out, it seems.

Im more interested in the up and comers now, Laura Wieghtman has a good chance of finishing in the top 3 tomorrow and i think KJT will do really well in the long jump as well although Bartaletta is a class above the rest of that starters list, and there is Muir v Wallace in the 800m as well

KJT with a PB and only 3 cm short of Bartaletta

Ashton Eaton getting 2nd in the 400m hurdles is unreal in that strong field considering he doesn't do 400m hurdles at all

Blake pulling up with an injury

Absolutely brilliant run from Matthew Hudson-Smith to break the 45-second barrier! Broke his PB by almost a second! 44.97... wow!

Conrad Williams also running 45.46 to confirm his place for the European Champs... think Hudson-Smith will be joining him and Martyn Rooney in Zurich!

Ahye has got to be a lesbian

Great run though to beat SAFP

Hudson-Smith only 19 too! Wow, hope this isn't a one-hit-wonder like we've seen plenty times before

14th in the world I think they said before

Yep and second in Europe, which is more important this year as European Champs follow Commonwealths pretty soon after

I forgot all about the European Championships

Team is announced on Tuesday, the athletes with the A Standard who finished in the Top 2 at the trials have already guaranteed selection. This is how it looks so far, with selectors choices to be chosen Monday and announced Tuesday:

Spoiler:

Sally Pearson just 0.01 faster then Porter, set up nicely for the commonwealths

She was one of the pundits for the Euro Team Champs a few weeks back, she was saying that when she comes back she's going to do the 400 flat instead and try and go for the British Record set by Chrissy O. Can't wait for that! Always thought she suited 400 flat better than the hurdles anyway.
