Smart racing from Phoebe Gill, just shut the door on the Italian trying to get through and that's why she qualified.

Have we talked about this awful GB kit yet?
Why are they wearing Black - what has that got to to with GB?
and when you are trying to pick out the GB athlete, they are lost.
Netherlands = Orange
France = Blue
Ethiopia = Green
Australia = Gold/Green
etc etc
GB = White with with red/blue hoops - classic

I think it’s maybe to do with Aldi being a main sponsor. They can knock those trackies out for a fiver on the middle aisle

Let's try to keep to the subject of the thread. There are other threads around if you want to veer away from the competition. Thanks.

Staggering to think she's only 17. Can't see her getting a medal, but it'll be a real buzz for her.

Thought I’d read somewhere that Hassan was doing the 800, but she’s only doing 1500, 5000 and 10,000.

He's a joy to listen to. And, going by appearance, he's doing very well with his rehab. To me, he's up there with Michael Holding. I could listen to those two fellas all night. They'd make a Gary Neville autobiography sound interesting.

Holding also had probably the greatest nickname in sport.

Hopefully Hodgkinson goes one better, a fair few silver medals in her career at the top level
