Some good performances from Team GB (excusing the Women's 4x400 who absolutely flopped because they swapped out the girl most in form this season with a sloppy Christine Ohuruogu who clearly wasn't in any shape to be running so early in the season). I hope UKA send full teams next year and not just teams for 'World Championship' events.

GB won silver in womens 4x200 and bronze in 4x100.

Next up is the Diamond League in Eugene on Saturday at 9pm.

Yeah she's already ranked second in the UK this year and I think she's in the top 10 in the world at the moment in terms of times.

It's a shame 200m Hurdles doesn't exist, she'd easily do well in that

Some brilliant running at the Hengelo meet today in the Netherlands.

Chijindu Ujah ran 9.96!!! He's now 3rd on the UK all time list and ranked 5th in the world, as well as GBs no.1 at the moment. And he's only 20 years old! This breaks the UK U23 record and the European U20 record.

This years British Championships is shaping up to be a great one. Tempted to book tickets for all 3 days tbh

Ashton Eaton winning the 400m hurdles easily, feels like he's untouchable at just about any track event

A PB for Jess Judd under 2mins in the 800.

Shame she's not running the euro team champs next week

Diamond League New York tomorrow and the big return of Christine Ohurougu! Don't expect much though, she always starts off seasons really slow.#

Not sure if it's at 18:00 or 21:00 but it's on the BBC Red Button anyway

Yep, can't wait for it now. Confused why Adam Gemili is focusing on the 100m and not the 200m though.

And no James Dasaolu anywhere to be seen... maybe he's still injured?

Gutted Bianca Williams got DQ'd for false start. Reckon she would've won.

Great run by Asha Philip though to take the crown again

I know that probably hardly anyone here cares about American stuff but I'm beyond thrilled that Dawn Harper won USAs and crushed Lolo by a full tenth <3
