Yeah I can see her doing really well in the 400m although that's a bit of a optimistic goal

1500m EUROPEAN CHAMPS A STANDARD : 3:37.50

Chris O'HARE 3:35.06 PB
Jake WIGHTMAN 3:35.49 PB
Charlie GRICE 3:35.59 PB

Think those 3 have secured their place for the Europeans now (Grice is already selected).

Schippers beating Felix

[Headie]

Jodie Williams 20.60 PB

[Headie]

Hope Schippers chooses Heptathlon over Individual Sprints... she definitely won't beat KJT overrall but could easily beat any of our female individual british sprinters

[Novo]

Didn't Schippers get Bronze last year at the World Champs? not much in it between them two

[Novo]

What the **** happened to the GB B team

KJT is world leader this year, she finished a fair bit ahead of Schippers at Gotzis and also beat Thiesen-Eaton who is her biggest threat at commonwealths

[Headie]

Women's 800 looks a great line up

[Headie]

Alison Leonard confirming her spot in Zurich

Selectors now choose between Judd and Meadows, although the decision seems pretty clear to me.

[Novo]

Love how everyone was going all out at the end and Wilson was still in 1st gear

[Headie]

So these are the athletes confirmed for European Championships in Europe:

100m - Dwain Chambers, Harry Aikines Aryeetey
100m - Asha Philip, Ashleigh Nelson
110mH - William Sharman, Lawrence Clarke
100mH - Tiffany Porter
200m - Danny Talbot, Adam Gemili
200m - Jodie Williams, Bianca Williams
400m - Martyn Rooney, Conrad Williams
400mh - Niall Flannery, Tom Burton
400mh - Eilidh Child, Meghan Beesley
800m - Michael Rimmer
800m - Lynsey Sharp, Alison Leonard
1500m - Charlie Grice
1500m - Laura Weightman, Laura Muir
3000mSC - James Wilkinson
5000m - Tom Farrell
5000m - Emelia Gorecka, (Jo Pavey also if she chooses this instead of 10k)
Long Jump - JJ Jegede
Long Jump - Katarina Johnson-Thompson
Triple Jump - Julian Reid
Hammer Throw - Sophie Hitchon
Pole Vault - Steve Lewis
Javelin - Goldie Sayers

Think Matthew Hudson-Smith (400m), Jess Judd (800m), Chris O'Hare and Jake Wightman (both 1500m) and James Dasaolu (100m) will have secured their selection too after their performances, although you never know...

The World Junior Championships start on Wednesday, it's on Eurosport if you want to watch it. It lasts for 6 days, and the last few days of it clash with the Commonwealths.

Morgan Lake, Dina Asher Smith and Desiree Henry are some the big names representing Team GB, as well as Zharnel Hughes who is from Anguilla but will most likely represent Britain at the next Olympics due to Anguilla not being eligible to compete in Olympics. He's broke Yohan Blake's and Usain Bolt's junior records too.

Tiffany Porter beating Sally Pearson and Rollins at the anniversary games

[Headie]

Tiffany is getting better and better IMO, although she's still not at the top yet.

[Headie]

Katarina Johnson Thompson has pulled out of the Commonwealth Games due to injury

[Jemal]

Wow?
Are you serious..

[Jemal]

Wow?
Are you serious..

[Headie]

Meghan Beesley has also pulled out of the 400mH due to injury

[Novo]

**** sake, and Cavendish as well, although that was predictable

[Macie Lightfoot]

World Juniors in Eugene start tomorrow if there's any interest in that

[Novo]

Chambers out of the Commonwealths now

[Headie]

Dina Asher Smith looks like she'll win the World Juniors with ease, no one seems on her level based on heat performances.

Morgan Lake is leading the heptathlon after Day 1 as well.

[Macie Lightfoot]

US hasn't been off to much a good start all in World Juniors (lane violation for Shaina Burns in the Hep 200, Haley Showalter fouling all her HTs, Raevyn Rogers and Sabrina Southerland not making the 800 final, Ariana Washington randomly dropping into 11.6-11.7 range - I could go on and on) but an awesome 1-2 finish in the mens 100 with Kendal Williams and Trayvon Bromell (who has a sub 10 PR ), even crazier considering Trentavis Friday ran 10.00 in the US Junior prelims and false started the final. Also 11.45 into a headwind for bronze isn't bad at all for Kaylin Whitney. 16 years old and broke the US high school record with 11.10 at US Juniors so she should have a bright future (except for the fact that she trains with a bunch of professional dopers but yeah.)

I'm not as in touch with the British stuff but I try to be as well-informed as I can (along with Canada and Australia, basically any country with English-speaking BB #shameless) and Dina Asher-Smith won the 100 in 11.23 and Morgan Lake with 6148.

Another interesting note - no Jamaican in either 100 final
