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.

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

Full GB team confirmed for Indoors:
GB team for Sopot:


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

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 >

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

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.

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

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

IAAF site says Levine is through

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