    Cheers for the link, great to see from Gay.

    On a side note I thought the crowd seemed a little small for a US national championships with such big stars on show. That said I remember attending the irish nationals a few years back and feeling sorry for the athletes due to the pitiful crowd to cheer them on.

    Yes, so true, not enough interest in athletics in this country. That said the crowd at the Europeans in Santry yesterday played their part in cheering our athletes on. I do think it made a difference yesterday. More today!

    What sort of attendance was there at Santry yesterday? How close was it to full?

    The main stand was full but the stand at the back straight was fairly empty. The terrace at the first bend had a reasonable crowd there. It was a much bigger crowd than the nationals but that would not be hard to beat anyhow.

    3:55 for last 1600m. Not bad for a 38 year old.

    Is Ryan Wilson the guy with no sponsor?

    Delighted to see him win. The Big O is also back, it seems.

    T&F news reports that the last 1600m took 3:55! Holy smoke.

    I'm not convinced. Those times from Queen Harrison and Nia Ali are dramatic improvements. Something seems a bit off from that race.

    Queen Harrison's previous best was 12.61. Here she blasts out a 12.43!! Before yesterday Nia Ali had never run faster than 12.67. Here she smashes a 12.48!!!

    One person could make a huge breakthrough perhaps, but both of them at once?

    I'd like to see those girls run those times in Europe before I take them seriously! I don't know much about Rollins but she does have a 12.39 from a few weeks ago to be fair.
