Athletes that won their events today and have guaranteed their place at the World Indoors for Team GB:

Andy Vernon - 3000m
Will Sharman - 60mH (Depending on whether joint winners can automatically qualify)
Andy Pozzi - 60mH (Depending on whether joint winners can automatically qualify)
Holly Bleasdale - Pole Vault
Asha Phillip - 60m
James Dasaolu - 60m

Also, Katarina Johnson-Thompson broke the British Indoor High Jump record today, jumping 1.96. She's looking to go to the World Indoors for the Pentahlon but she has to be invited to do so.

Some good races tomorrow, mainly finals.

Headie 09-02-2014 03:28 PM

Some new champions were crowned today.

These are the athletes that are 100% going to the World Indoors in Poland because they won their finals and also possess the A Standard.

Asha Phillip - 60m
James Dasaolu - 60m
Margaret Adeoye - 400m
Nigel Levine - 400m
Laura Muir - 800m
Lee Emanuel - 1500m
Andy Vernon - 3000m
Will Sharman - 60mH
Andy Pozzi - 60mH
Holly Bleasdale - Pole Vault
Luke Cutts - Pole Vault

The GB selectors can choose up to 2 people per event at their discretion. The people above have already secured their place in the team for winning their respective events.

The British GP in Birmingham on Saturday, looking forward to it now since I haven't seen much athletics recently, will probably catch up on the British Indoor Championships tomorrow

Lavillenie breaks Bubka's pole vault record

Headie 18-02-2014 01:50 PM

No Dasaolu due to injury, and KJT didn't get an invite for the Pentathlon so she's just doing Long Jump instead.

Novo 19-02-2014 01:57 AM

Shame about Dasaolu, his time would have been amazing on the weekend without the injury, really impressive run by Asha as well to keep in touch wit h Fraser Pryce and Ahoure, Dibaba though this year >

Headie 24-02-2014 08:40 PM

Lavillenie not competing at the World Indoors due to injury after breaking the World Record, so that gives Luke Cutts a good chance at a Gold medal :amazed:

Headie 03-03-2014 05:41 PM

Laura Muir, Luke Cutts and Holly Bleasdale seem to be our only genuine Gold medal hopes. Dwain Chambers, Tiffany Porter, Asha Philip, and the 4X400 relay squads are also good chances of contesting for a medal.

Headie 06-03-2014 10:20 PM

Action starts tomorrow at 9am! Startlists for Day 1 have been released

Exciting :amazed:

Novo 07-03-2014 08:18 AM

Terrible run by Shana Cox

Headie 07-03-2014 08:20 AM

Shana and Margaret are great athletes, just a shame they were drawn in the toughest heats with the toughest lanes.

Novo 07-03-2014 08:27 AM

Its a shame Hejnova is injured

Headie 07-03-2014 08:32 AM

Now for the men's 400m where hopefully we'll have better success

Novo 07-03-2014 08:38 AM

Levine is in Heat 3 with Santos, should be a good one

Levine beat him in Birmingham so hopefully he can do it again

Novo 07-03-2014 08:43 AM

Hello Dusanova

Headie 07-03-2014 08:58 AM

Oh great so Levine has probably been run out of it too!

Headie 07-03-2014 09:03 AM

Not looking good for British sprinting so far

Novo 07-03-2014 09:05 AM

Come on Maslak

Headie 07-03-2014 09:12 AM

Nigel Levine - OUT

Novo 07-03-2014 09:12 AM

Oh dear.. 1 fastest loser spot from 4 of our athletes

Headie 07-03-2014 09:15 AM

Wait what? Levine ran quicker than that. What's Steve Cram on about?

IAAF site says Levine is through

Novo 07-03-2014 09:18 AM

So he is officially through then? Or is that a mistake on the IAAF site?
