It's Really, really disappointing that Britain can win EIGHT gold medals at a European championships... be The envy of Europe. Yet not a word on the
@BBCSport
website all week. Why can't our media outlets report on British success?🤷
All hail Lawrence Okoye!!! Discus bronze medallist with 67.14m. First British man to podium in the event in either senior Euros, worlds or Olympics. So pleased for the Croydon giant.
That's four medals in 15 days for
@EilishMccolgan
!!! Gold and silver in Birmingham. Silver and bronze in Munich.. incredible achievement for an endurance runner
Terrible, terrible decision by BBC to rush away from Belgrade as soon as W4x4 ended-- and miss Mondo's Wrec.. To show a Rugby highlights programme🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️.

Yesterday
@allysonfelix
ran 22.40 for 200m... nineteen years ago she ran 22.11 for 200m --- along the way she's won twenty one global titles... That's pretty good really 👀👀👀👀
Truly outstanding run by
@keelyhodgkinson
first race of the year and she runs the fastest 800m indoors (1:57.20) for twenty years- a GB record to boot.. what a prospect we have here
Terrible news to hear of the sudden passing of Mike Mcfarlane. "Mac" was a brilliant u20 who started the renaissance of GB male sprints. Finest ever 3rd leg relay runner and OG medallist. Under rated athlete and coach. Respected by all.
After five times running below 2:01 for 800m this year
@IsabelleBoffey
runs 1:59.30 tonight! World qualifier for the four time European age group champ
What a run from
@lizziebird94
9:07.87 for the steeplechase! Nat rec by eight secs. 4th quickest ever by a European. Is this the best performance by a GB 'chaser since mark Rowland's Euro silver in 1990👋👋👋
Outstanding pole vault news from Spain where
@MollyCaudery
has cleared a pb 4.60m -- European standard.. in a comp where training partner
@HollyBradshawPV
is also over that height.. bar now at 4.65m
What a championship for
@aimeepratt
gb rec 9:18.91 in heats she then passes seven athletes in the final 1k to place a terrific 7th in 9:15.64. Another record! Second European on the night and beats Emma Coburn.
After many many attempts.. Ama Pipi gets the world qualifier!! Victory in Slovakia in 50.75 puts the commonwealth fourth placer on the team for the 400m in Budapest... she's the 20th Brit to run below 51 seconds
It may well be 241 points less than when she won in Doha but this was
@JohnsonThompson
greatest ever performance. What a great competitive effort and where did that 2:05 800m come from!! That's her fifth world title: two outdoor, one indoor, one u20 and one u18 (back in 2009).
Delighted to see
@JemmaReekie
back in form.. winning over 800m in poland today in 1:58.94- the first international victory in two yrs for the Olympic 4th placer
An incredible W800m and you really do wonder what
@keelyhodgkinson
has to do to win one of these races but oh so close with a huge gb record of 1:55.19-- the fastest non winning time since the Moscow Olympics , matching the best time by a European in 40 years
GB have a new number 1 in the 110m Hurdles.. sensational running today from
@jzells01
in Minneapolis as he clocks a fab 13.19 (1.6)!! World qualifier and fifth quickest ever ahead of the likes of
@andyturner110h
@JRidgeon
and
@lawrence_clarke
England 100m hurdles champ
@aliciabarrett25
the former u20 star, has improved her PB today to 13,02 (0.5) - previously it stood at 13.07 from five years ago. Great to see her back in fine form
Running with the guys tonight over 800m Olympic silver medallist
@lauramuiruns
gets back in top form with a scorching 1:57.23! Her second quickest ever
20 yr old
@keelyhodgkinson
outclasses her field to win Euro 800m gold after Olympic, world and commonwealth silvers. The first of many titles you feel.. 4th GB gold of the week
Continued progress from
@mattonthefloor
third today over 400m in 44.61✅✅. Just shy of pb of 44.48 from 2016. World number 1 and training partner Steve Gardiner won with 44.22
Immense run from
@EilishMccolgan
In California. 30:00.86 for 10000m to break
@paulajradcliffe
gb record with a 64.8 last lap!! What a start for her in 2023 after a brilliant 2022
A tragedy for the 4x100m ladies, but that's the first time in a decade they've had a misshap. 6 gold, 6 silver and 8 bronze still a terrific effort for GB in a season like no other🎉🔥👋
Unconfirmed but it seems GB champ Dan Rowden has just won tonight in Italy over 800m in 1:44.29- world qualifier and would give him a spot on Budapest team.
Extraordinary scenes as
@JakeSWightman
runs the perfect race to win the 1500m gold🔥🔥the second scot after
@Lizmccolgan
to win a world title and second Brit after
@jarrowarrow
(1983) to win 1500m. PB 3:29.23 almost immaterial
Sensational running from
@TrackDadzie
today in Graz.. after a 10.10 100m heat, the worlds fastest accountant clocks 9.93 (0.1) in the final- 4th quickest Brit ever alongside
@reeceprescod
Cracking overnight news from LA were Vicky Ohuruogu, who ran well to make world indoor 4x4 team in Feb, improved her 400m PB to 51.52... second fastest Brit in 2022.. Euro and CWG standard
Storming 400m from
@amberanning
the NCAA champ who improves her outdoor 400m pb from 51.62 to 50.08! And yet only third today in Florida. Seventh fastest Brit all time
Magnificent 60m running from
@dinaashersmith
7.04 for a GB record... her third win at Karlsruhe and equalling Privalova's meet rec of 27 years ago. Here's to Dina going sub 7 next month
Shout out to
@Putnam33
who today ran 46.75 in the 400m. It's his first sub 47, 12 years after his first sub 48 and he's clocked Fifty times in the 47 second range...
#Perseverance
Fourth for Dina.. in Beijing in 2015 she was fifth in the 200m - the fastest ever for that position. And today.. a British record of 10.83--- the fastest ever for that position. So close, and yet a superb effort for her
Just 19 hours after her GB record for 200m
@amberanning
continues her january brilliance with a 400m pb of 50.56-- third best ever by a Brit indoors. World u20 champ
@yemi_mary1
a top notch 51.74 behind her
Shock news to hear of Shaun Pickering's passing earlier today. Shaun was a 1996 Olympian, and along with his parents Jean and Ron did an immeasurable amount for the sport of athletics in Great Britain. Will be much missed
Proving once again that athletics has a greater global reach than any other sport- when it comes to elite competitors- Arshad Nadeem of Pakistan wins the mens Javelin. His country's first athletics gold in 60 yrs.
Unconsidered European 4th placer
@katiesnowden13
dropped down to 800m tonight in Poland and came thru for the win in 1:59.72.. Her first sub 2 and 29th British woman under the barrier
Fantastic to see

@EilidhDoyle

Budapest is Turning out to be a fine champs for GB - and on the track we have a finalist in the Mens 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m and 1500m for the first time since 1987.
Incredible effort from
@JazminSawyers
to take bronze with her final jump of 6.80m (1.0)🎉🎉. Sooo pleasing after missing podium so narrowly in 2018.. a sixth international medal for the stoke star who won world u20 bronze in 2012.
Great scenes in Turkey as
@JazminSawyers
wins gold!!! Brilliant! 7.00m for a gb rec, world lead, and first gb winner since Sue hearnshaw back in 1984. Iapichino in silver broke her mums (that's Fiona May) Italian rec. great comp
A typical 💯effort from
@EilishMccolgan

@Lizmccolgan
Scottish rec set on this track in 1991- (weeks before her world title) . Great running
Superb run for
@zharnel_hughes
far better than in pre lims. So pleasing to see a Brit medal get a M100m medal for the first time in 20 years. (Darren campbell). What a journey for Zharnel
Many of us are still trying to recover from the British champs last weekend.. not Izzy Fry who, after 6th in the 5000m ran again today in Belgium and set a 17 sec PB (15:21.32) for a European qualifier.
What a great effort by
@morgan_a_lake
1.97m is her highest in a major and great attempts at 1.99m. Fourth in the highest placing by a GB woman in the WHJ
A week after a big 800m pb.
@amberanning
now runs a startling 22.60 for 200m at her home track in Fayetteville for a new GB record- taking down
@KatharineMerry
time of 22.83-- set before Amber was born. Set to run the 400m tomorrow
A superb world champs for GB... equalling the most ever with ten medals .. and a great 21 top 8's.. For me personally, only 1993 in Stuttgart beats it-- and maybe this was better yet as who out there thought we'd do so well. Just what Athletics in Britain needed
Some outstanding sprinting from British athletes tonight .
@reeceprescod
equals the world 60m lead of 6.49 in Berlin .. fastest time by Brit since 2014
Brilliant running from
@jessjuddxx
in the Eugene10,000m. Five from the back at the start she came thru for 11th and a 45 sec PB!! Third all time among Brits. Recall that she ran the 800m at her first worlds in 2013.
A terrific effort by Our womens 4x400 team! Anchored by

What a run from
@Laviai
in her seasons debut. Way under the Glasgow world champs qualifier with an indoor pb of 51.31- sixth fastest all time among gb women.
Congratulations to

@alexhw_400

Alarming to read that the Telegraph now feel they do not need an athletics writer.. I recall when Ken Mays was there he'd cover up to forty meets a year. Bad news for the sport. All the best to
@benbloomsport
What a start for GBR at the world champs with commonwealth champ
@NickMillerhamer
throwing a seasons best 77.13m which will surely qualify him for his fourth world final.
Outstanding news from Italy where
@Lewis_Church1
scores 7773 points in the decathlon. A pb by no les than 228 and an England comm games standard. He finished with a seven second pb in the 1500m👋
Monday shout out to
@matthew_stonier
perhaps Britains fastest improving athlete. 1500m in 2020 3:50; in 2021 3:39 and in 2022 3:32. He's moved from 108th to 13th all time this year👋
An 800m PB brought
@jadeodowda
thru to seventh in the Heptathlon.. - just 37 points shy of her PB. An ultra consistent season for the commonwealth bronze medallist.
A truly outstanding four days for Great Britain at the Euro U18's, taking home 8 golds (a record total for a nation at the champs) and 15 medals to dominate the age group. The first start on the road to senior success
Bronze for
@mattonthefloor

Back competing for the first time in ten weeks
@niamhemerson
ran a hugely encouraging 2:10.20 for 800m at the BMC Grand Prix final in
@loughborough
today. Just shy of her pb. More comps yet this month for the Tampere world champion.
Another gold for GB.. that's 6🎉🎉. Faith Akinbileje totally outclasses the 200m field to win in 23.36w (2.5) . This one very much expected. Coach John blackie has found another one.
Ophelia Pye (coached by David hemery) wins Britains seventh gold! Starting the champs with a 400H best of 59.74.. she wins with a GB u18 best of 58.09. Outstanding progress. Steph Okoro in bronze sets a U.K. age 16 best of 58.44. Now 13 GB medals
Even without two sprint gold medallists GB wins the medley relay in a European record of 2:07.18.. 400m fourth placer Etty Sisson anchors in 53.5 to just take the win. Another title for the women🔥
A terrific return after a 12 month pay off for Eugene world champ
@JakeSWightman
as he runs an indoor pb for 1500m of 3:34.06 (54.4 last 400m) . That's third on the gb (and Scottish!) all time list
