Tiny fraction outside it

12.69 vs 12.67 PB. Every chance she’d go quicker in a middle lane rather than being isolated in lane 2. Dervals record of 12.65 won’t be lasting much longer I’d say

English got an awful run of that race…

Mark English finishes 4th so needs a fastest loser slot. It seemed ridiculously fast

Seasons Best from English by about 0.8 of a second. Not much else he could do after nearly being knocked over.

1 lad ahead of English I think

3 heats left. English still 2nd fastest runners up

2 heats left and he’s still 2nd fastest

And 1 left and he’s 2nd fastest

Never saw anything like that before

How likely is a medal here if she runs to her PB

I’m sticking the neck out for silver

She needs to run sub 3.55 I’d say to have a chance. If she’s ever gonna do it it’s today. She has no chance of winning and knows it so is fighting for silver or bronze

A medal is a long shot I fear.

She has a county final head on her.

Laura Muir has a George Graham head on her.

Sonia O’Sullivan got silver in this event 30 years ago today.

Budapest has been a happy hunting ground for Irish athletes in the past.
