KJT is currently winning in the long jump after her 2nd jump. Shara Proctor is in 3rd. Wish BBC would show us the jumps.

Silver for KJT! Makes up for her not being selected for the pentathlon I guess. Shara Proctor finished 4th.

Let's hope for more success later on for Team GB. Hope Andy Vernon can get a PB in this final.

Oh wait a minute the Polish athlete in 3rd stepped off the track. Should be a DQ but since it's in Poland I doubt it.

Greg Rutherford broke the British Long Jump record today, jumping 8.51m in a meet in America.

The first Diamond League meet is on Friday May 9th

Tomlinson has always thought he is the better long jumper at least Rutherford has ended his claim completely now

Tomlinson is calling for Rutherford's record to be nullified:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/athletics/27209852

Seems as though his foot touched the plasticine. Tomlinson seems like a bitter person to me.

Startlists for Diamond League Doha meet on Friday have been released:
http://www.diamondleague-doha.com/en...lts/Overview1/

Quite a fair bit of British athletes participating even though it's quite early on in the season.

Eilidh Child, Jenny Meadows, Shelayna Oskan-Clarke, Chris Tomlinson, Andrew Osagie and Brett Morse.

Only problem I had was that it didn't update the startlists until a few days after they'd already been releaed. Then again they were probably waiting for the lane draws before updating it.

Looking forward to tomorrow!

Great running from Eilidh Child to finish 3rd.

I'll be surprised if she doesn't win the commonwealths.

Greg can't help that Tomlinson didn't live up to his hype.
