Marginal gains…
He’s brought her on so much. He still thinks she can run much more cleanly and efficiently. It’s not linear from here.
Her arms are still a bit all over the place and it’s like she’s running with a huge arc in her back over the last 150m which could be down to the core stuff he mentions. A more measured training plan and focus on form and she’s a genuine world superstar if she wants it. She’s not far off it
Imagine how fast Flo Jo could have ran if she’d the hair in a hood

Just listened to this properly now. You get a sense that if she listens to him and does everything he says then she could be the best in the world.

Yeah very much so. She went there as a 100/200m person and while she was good she wasn’t world class and wouldn’t have been. He saw that she had what it too to be the very very best 400m runner.
We often use age as a reason why people aren’t good enough. Femke Bol is 23 and so is Jakob Ingebritsen and both are genuine world class athletes and have been for years. Age is only a barrier in our heads. I’d hope a winter of proper pro training and scheduling will have her going sub 49 next summer consistently

Thats an outstanding listen. Lads can slag off OTB all they like, but things like that are what make them stand out.
Is the full interview available anywhere? I’ve no interest in lining Gilroys pockets with anything

Fireworks in the Ladies Triple Jump final. Rojas looks to have won it with her final jump after a clatter of X’s the whole way through
What time is the 200m final on? Ah I see 10 mins.
