4 | ATHLETICS WEEKLY

Never stand still ...FROM the IAAF World Relays in the Bahamas to the Great

CityGames in Manchester, innovation is the name of the

game in the quest to breathe fresh life into the ancient

sport of athletics.

Street athletics and relay extravaganzas have proved

popular, but why stop there? Other ideas include:

Scrapping relay changeover zones and letting a team vary the distance that its athletes run.

Long and triple jumps measured from take-off rather than a board. Or pole vaults for distance, not height.

Runners wearing weighted vests, similar to handicapping in horse racing.

Athletes, especially throwers, competing in boxing-style weight categories.

Mixed sex competitions or events between athletes of diff erent ages using a handicap system. For example,

parents over the age of 40 taking on their children aged under-15.

Sprinters tested for maximum speed in a speed trap test instead of racing from A to B. Bring back discontinued events like standing jumps or javelin with a spinning technique. High jumpers judged on how many centimetres they can leap over their own height. Shot putters using two hands instead of one. Or athletes in heavy throws stepping out of the traditional circle and letting go of their implement from behind a line.

Some of the above ideas might be daft, but arent they worth a try?

The United States fi rst win over Jamaica in a mens 4x100m fi nal since 2007 in the Bahamas last weekend left a bad taste in the mouth. Three of the American quartet, Justin Gatlin, Tyson Gay and Mike Rodgers, plus team coach Dennis Mitchell, have failed drugs tests in the past. Not everyone enjoyed seeing anchorman Ryan Baileys cut-throat version of Usain Bolts lightning pose either.

Kilty slams relay absentees

A missed chance?MAYBE Richard Kilty should not blame sprinters for missing the IAAF World Relays (see below) and we should instead criticise British Athletics for not

having made participation in the event a condition of funding.

Those who are not happy with the high percentage of funded athletes

who are sprinters, courtesy of the high chances of relay championship medals compared to other disciplines, will be arguing that the least they can expect from the governing bodys investment is for them to take every opportunity to practise for and qualify for the major championships. Paul Halford, Deputy Editor


NEWS For daily athletics news, go to athleticsweekly.com

EUROPEAN 200m silver medallist Jodie Williams is looking forward to making a delayed start to her season at the Great CityGames Manchester this Saturday.The former world junior

champion had been due to compete for Britain at the IAAF World Relays in the Bahamas last weekend but withdrew as a precaution owing to a small hamstring tear suff ered while training in Florida.Over the rarely contested

distance of 150m, Williams will take on the Dutchwoman who beat her in Zurich, Dafne Schippers.Unfortunately I got a minor

hamstring tear about two weeks ago which has fully recovered now, but we just thought it was going to be too much of a risk, said Williams. If anything did happen when I was out there then I could have let the whole team down and we didnt want that to happen so I pulled out, more as a precaution really. But it will be fi ne for Manchester.In her absence, the GB quartet

took third with 42.84 behind Jamaica and USA (see p24).

She will be keen to build on her breakthrough season as a senior in 2014 when she won Commonwealth and European silver, the latter with 22.46, which took her to second on the UK all-time list.The fi rst race is always the

most nerve-racking, she said. You know roughly what kind of shape youre going to be in from your training but sometimes it doesnt go as planned. That fi rst race is the one to tell you where

you are and what you need to work on. Its always scary, but exciting at the same time.Because of this minor injury

Im not putting too much pressure on myself, she said. I just want to go out there and hopefully race well.The quickest time by a British

athlete is the 16.63 by Anyika Onuora at the 2013 edition of the event. Williams will be looking to improve on the 16.81 she clocked in the same race.

Bolt to race in OstravaUSAIN BOLT will compete in the 200m in Ostrava on May 26.

It will be his seventh appearance in the Czech city and he will be hoping to follow his two victories there in the half-lap event.

Other upcoming appearances for the worlds fastest man include the adidas Grand Prix in New York on June 13, Paris on July 4 and Lausanne on July 9 all Diamond League events.

Bolt is also to star in a feature-length documentary following his preparations for the Rio Olympics.

Directed by a Briitish company, cameras will begin following the Jamaican this month as he tries to build on his six Olympic golds in Beijing and London.

WORLD and European indoor 60m champion Richard Kilty has criticised some of his fellow GB sprinters for failing to compete at the IAAF World Relays in Bahamas last week where Olympic qualifi cation was at stake.A Kilty-anchored quartet

narrowly missed out on a place in the fi nal, which would have earned Britain an automatic place at the Rio Games next year.Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, James

Dasaolu, Adam Gemili and Chijindu Ujah were missing as Britain clocked just 38.79.

Sean Safo-Antwi, Dan Talbot, James Ellington and Kilty fi nished behind Trinidad and Tobago, France and St Kitts & Nevis.We all have our individual

aspirations but we have a massive, massive chance to win a medal in Rio and more of a chance than we have in the individual, said Kilty.Theres three big names at

home who I think have let us down a little bit. They all have their reasons for not coming but whats more important than qualifying for Rio automatically? I dont think anythings more important this year.Gemili was focusing on exams,

while minor injuries were also cited as a reason for absences when the team was named.

BERNARD LAGAT, the second fastest 1500m runner in history, has pledged to have a crack at the world over-40 record of 28:00, which Haile Gebrselassie clocked when fi nishing third in Manchester in 2013.Its a really quick time but

it is good to have something to shoot at, said Lagat, ahead of the Morrisons Great Manchester Run on Sunday. Im excited by the fact that Ill be running with Haile. I think Ive only raced against him once before.The pair went head to head over

3000m in the 2004 Boston Indoor Games, Gebselassie winning and Lagat fi nishing fourth.Its awesome that we can run

together one more time before

I retire and before Haile retires, said Lagat. Its huge for the sport that we have runners still racing at the highest level into their forties.

It shows that if you work hard and prioritise and take care of yourself you can achieve anything and go on as long as you can.

Lagat, three times winner of the world indoor 3000m title, has competed in two 5km races on the road and in one half-marathon but 10km will be a new distance.Despite joining the ranks of the

forty-somethings in December, he remains one of the worlds leading middle and long-distance runners. Only last year he won a 3000m silver at the IAAF World Indoor Championships in Poland and during the 2015 indoor season he set six world masters records in the space of 18 days.Lagat has his sights on

what would be a fi fth Olympic appearance in Rio next year as well as the 5000m at the IAAF World Championships in Beijing in August this year.

Twin cities team up to get more people runningTEAMS from four European cities took part in the first Birmingham European capital of Running 10km Cup last weekend as part of the city councils programme to get people active.

Held in conjunction with the Great Birmingham Run, it was part of the citys drive to become the European capital of running.

Birminghams twin cities of Frankfurt, Leipzig, Lyon and Milan, were represented by three male and three female club runners in the

event which was organised by the Great Run Company.

Steve Hollingworth, assistant director for sport, events and parks at Birmingham City Council, said: Following the successful Sport England Award for the transformation of running in Birmingham, the city is pleased to continue working with the Great Run Company. Our aim is to deliver this new mass-participation running event, and establish the Birmingham European Capital of Running Team 10km Cup as part of a

wide range of activities designed to encourage and attract Birmingham people that are new to running.

Birmingham City Council and Sport England are to invest almost 3 million into running over the next three years, partly as a way of combatting obesity.

They are hoping to see 5000 currently inactive individuals take up running and another 15,000 sporadically active people to regularly participate.

Andy Paul, chairman of Birchfield

Harriers, Birminghams leading athletics club, admitted the claim to be the European capital of running may raise eyebrows but said: We already have a lot of people running here at every level, from those who just want to stay fit and have no desire to compete, to elite athletes.

Birchfield Harriers is arguably the best club in the country and we have produced some great runners over the years. But we can do much more. There is a huge issue with obesity and inactivity in the city.

A PETITION has been set up to oppose plans to upgrade the football pitch in the middle of Jenner Park Athletics Track in Barry after a local club has said they would have devastating eff ects on athletics in the area.Vale of Glamorgan Council want

to turn Barry Town United Football Clubs pitch into the artifi cial 3G type following waterlogging issues in recent seasons.However, an online petition

launched by Barry & Vale Harriers members and subs secretary Joanne Carter, says the plans would mean an end to the clubs 100-year-plus association with the site.Although the track would be

maintained, the club says it could be cut from eight lanes to six with an impact on fi eld facilities.The petition claims: None of

our young athletes will be able to learn any of the fi eld events prior to competitions. You cannot throw a javelin on a 3G pitch! It added: Our coaches and

committee all give their time for free and with 120-plus young people, a disability athletics group and a large waiting list, we would hate to see this great club dissolve.

Barry & Vale Harriers are supportive of all sports, many of our athletes also play football. We are not opposed to a 3G pitch for the community, just not at Jenner Park. There are other sporting areas in Barry and the Vale that could accommodate a 3G pitch.A report from the council

insisted: It can be confi rmed that

the 400m track would remain in any redevelopment. It is also expected that all the

existing athletic fi eld sports can be maintained at Jenner, albeit some would not meet competition standards. The plans have also met with

opposition from some members of the football community. More than 100 coaches from across the Vale of Glamorgan have signed a petition saying the 500,000 cost of upgrade the pitch would be better invested in developing grassroots football and urging the council to instead install it at Colcot Sports Centre where it could better be utilised by the lower echelons.When AW went to press on

Tuesday, the Barry Vale Harriers petition has been signed by 553. It can be searched for at change.org

BLACKBURN HARRIERS recently recognised the work of its club president George Kirby by naming its new spectator stand after him.

Athletes past and present, as well as family and friends, were present at the naming ceremony at Witton Park, Blackburn.

The Lancashire club said: It is

fitting that Georges contribution to athletics not only at the Harriers but as a national coach and national official, to education in the borough as a teacher and numerous other community activities has been recognised by the local authority as well as many in the community and in the world of athletics generally.

Kirby recognised by BlackburnGEORGE BUNNER was recently awarded the Frank Starkie Memorial Trophy by the British Association of Track and Field Leagues.

He received the award at the UK Sportshall Final in Manchester in recognition of his founding of the kids form of athletics.

Bunner received the award for services to league officiating, having been involved in athletics most of his 82 years.

Winner of a AAA junior 880 yards title in 1950, he went on to form the Cheshire League, which in providing competition to male and female athletes from under-11s to senior was considered to be quite revolutionary at the time.

It has now grown to 21 clubs, who in some meetings attract a total of more than 400 athletes.

Since 1976 thousands of youngsters, including eventual international stars as Robbie Grabarz and Denise Lewis, enjoyed their first taste of the sport in Sportshall Athletics, which Bunner founded.

He is recogised internationally as a leading authority on the development of childrens athletics and some of his more recent innovations include the World Marathon Challenge, in which last year more than 50,000 athletes from more than 60 countries tried to beat the 26.2-mile world records in a relay.

In 2002 he was awarded an MBE for services to athletics.

Barry tracks future in doubt over football plans


WORKING with Commonwealth bronze medallist Mark Dry since arriving in Loughborough helped Taylor Campbell to a UK junior hammer mark last weekend.The Loughborough student

took hammer gold at the BUCS Championships in Bedford with 69.39m to throw further than any other British junior with the senior 7.26kg implement.Although the 6kg has been the

standard weight for junior competition this century, historically under-20s threw the senior implement and Campbell surpassed the 67.48m set by Paul Head in 1984.Campbell said: Ive only gone

back on to the senior hammer for BUCS so Ive only had four or fi ve days of throwing with it and I wasnt really getting the rhythm and timing together that I had with the 6kg.And that showed in the

competition because up until round four I wasnt really hitting the throws. So I wasnt expecting that distance, although after that I thought there was a lot more there.Campbell had already begun

the season by adding 14 centimetres to the national 6kg record held by Alex Smith with 76.81m and is now targeting a European junior record this summer.

A medal at the European Juniors would be a good step, said Campbell, who wants to improve his UK national mark to 80m-plus. Not just for me but for British throwing in general. A European medal in throwing is just as good as a world medal.Last September he started

studying for a sports science foundation degree at Loughborough College where he has been fortunate to benefi t from the advice of Dry and, more latterly, 70-metre thrower John Pearson.While full of praise for the work

of his coach, Paul Dickenson, Campbell said: Mark Dry has probably gone beyond the [normal scope] of a training partner to help me out to get me to settle into Loughborough. Hes made it really easy for me in terms of sorting out hammers, getting me into the facility, just making life easy for me and watching my throwing in training. I didnt expect him to help out in as much detail as he did.Campbell knows he will not

make a fortune from hammer throwing, which could be

described as the Cinderella event of athletics.Like many of his contemporaries,

he has complained about the hammer not being part of the lucrative and high-profi le Diamond League.Hopefully Ill be on the funding

soon, but its not a great deal of money,he said. Itll pay for your accommodation and living. But if you want to make it youve got to accept thats going to happen. You cant expect to make loads of money in an event thats not publicised well.Im still a million miles away

from the sprinters, etc. Ive grown to expect Im not going to make any money or have a huge career unless it goes really really well. So I have to plan security and try to put myself in the best position for the next 10 years or whatever, when I would be 28, which is still young for a thrower.Hammer throwers are not in it

for the money, as he points out: I love the event, but Im not so keen on the sport. Its not treated well within the sport.

NEWS BRIEFS

Taylor Campbell: looking for 80m with the junior weight this year

Track certi cation overhauledBRITISH Athletics track certification process is to be overhauled following an internal review.

The main findings of the review were: The volume of assessments, availability of assessors and administrative burden of the scheme suggest that it is unsustainable in its current format so change is needed.

The current assessment criteria are excessive for many community/training venues and are not deliverable in practice.

There is a need for more, better national governing body guidance, information and training for facility owners and operators and structured support is required; particularly in the areas of safety and maintenance.

A superfluous requirement for re-testing of competition elements (measurements/levels) of facilities (annually and every five years).

As of January 1, 2016, any track holding a recent measurement and levels survey that demonstrates compliance with the UKA rulebook will automatically be issued with a new competition certificate.

A new quality-assurance standard with the working title TrackMark will be developed over the next six months and track manager courses and online resources will also be launched.

See englandathletics.org for details.

BRITISH ATHLETICS has announced its qualifying standards for the 2016 Rio Olympics.The full selection criteria will be

published this autumn.As is the case for the Beijing

World Championships this year, the marks match the IAAF entry standards except in the walks and marathons, which are tighter.Marathon runners will need to

run 2:14 (men) and 2:31 (women) to be considered for Rio.Meanwhile, standards for the

mens 50km and womens 20km walks have been tightened to 4:02:00 and 1:32:00 respectively.The womens marathon mark

has been achieved by just three British women over the last three years and compares to the IAAF standard of 2:42. Sonia Samuels, the top Brit in the recent Virgin Money London Marathon, was 46 seconds outside. The tightened standards appear

particularly harsh given they are in events where invitations will

not be extended to non-qualifying athletes based on rankings. For all events apart from the 5000m, 10,000m and road disciplines, 2016 rankings at the end of the qualifying period will be used to fi ll the remaining spaces according to quotas for each event.Last weeks AW reported that

around 14.5% fewer fi eld-eventers will be in Rio compared to London 2012, according to the recently released quotas per event. Over all the events, the reduction is 11.5%.

MO FARAH is set to compete over 1500m when he returns to the Sainsburys Birmingham Grand Prix at the citys Alexander Stadium on June 7.The double Olympic, world and

European champion last raced over the distance in Monaco in 2013 when he broke Steve Crams British record with 3:28.81. It will be Farahs seventh time

of competing at the event and he is looking forward to using the Diamond League meeting as an opportunity to test his speed.The World Championships

in Beijing is the main aim for this year. Birmingham will be good to work on my speed in a shorter early season race, explained the 32-year-old, who won 5000m and 10,000m titles at the London

2012 Olympics before again doing the double at the World Championships in Moscow a year later and the European Championships in Zurich in 2014.It will be good to step down

to 1500m and test myself over a shorter distance, he added.Some of the best middle

distance runners in the world will be in the fi eld so I will have to be at

my best to compete with them.Meanwhile, confi rmed to

appear at the Sainsburys Anniversary Games on July 24-26 are Christine Ohurougu and Adam Gemili.Ohuruogu, the 2008 Olympic

400m champion, will compete in her home city in her specialist event as the Diamond League visits the British capital city.

THE Court of Arbitration for Sport cancelled the hearing due to take place last week into Liliya Shobukhovas doping ban.

The IAAF were due to challenge the penalty of only two years handed to the Russian marathoner, whose

biological passport showed irregular blood values.

Media reports in Russia suggested that the IAAF, who wanted the two-year ban doubled, reached a settlement out of court with the Russian federation.

Last year German broadcaster ARD alleged in a documentary that the Russian federation was paid by the athlete to hide her suspicious results. The money was subsequently paid back when news of the adverse finding leaked, the programme alleged.

Shobukhovas ban was announced in April 2014 and her results since October 2009 were annulled. The cancelled results meant she would lose two World Marathon Major series wins, plus victories in London in 2010 and Chicago in 2009, 2010 and 2011.

DESPITE having just clocked a 2:31 marathon at the age of 50, Graham Green claims to be only the second quickest M50 in his family.But what a family it is. His

brother, Andrew, a 2:12 marathon runner in his heyday, has just run 31:33 for 10km at the age of 52.At the Virgin Money London

Marathon last month, Graham and his son, Ben, broke their own Guinness World Record for the best cumulative time for a father and son in the same race.Ben, 28, set a PB of 2:30:16,

while Green senior was just behind on 2:31:56. A year earlier their record was recognised after they ran 2:35:30 and 2:43:05 respectively.Making it a great day for the

family, Bens 25-year-old brother Adam clocked a useful 2:58:55 in this years race.The performance of Graham,

whose London time takes him to eighth on the UK all-time list for M50s, was particularly impressive given his seemingly less than ideal physique for running as someone who previously focused more on weight training. With a body mass index of 23.2, he is at the high end of normal for the general population and a lot higher than most top club runners and elite athletes albeit with a lot of muscle and very little fat.An all-rounder in school,

Graham was captain of his school teams in football, rugby, baseball and cricket. Yet it was at running that he particularly excelled after taking it up aged nine or ten. Finishing 37th in his fi rst race,

against older opposition, he vowed the following year to return to the annual event for Warrington schoolchildren and win, which he did easily with a course record.That inspired him into serious

training and he won the under-13 race at the 1978 Inter-Counties

cross country. At 14 he ran 1:58.4 for 800m and 4:05.8 for 1500m, the latter at the time close to the UK under-15 best.However, at 16 he left the sport

for a few years and, although returning at 20 to clock 1:50, 3:47 and 8:13 for 800m, 1500m and 3000m respectively, he says now that his training lacked structure and he stopped running again at the age of 28 due to work and family pressure, having perhaps not fulfi lled some of his potential.It was not until 2012 that

Graham resumed running in order to lose some weight, having acquired some due to weight training. He entered that years London Marathon aiming to break three hours, which he did by 17 seconds.I carried on with my weights

and also my running, not taking either seriously. I just enjoyed

being fi t, he says. Improving to 2:47 and 2:43 in the subsequent years it was last summer that he realised this years event took place just nine days after he entered a new age group.If I could run 2:43 as a 49-

year-old and weighing over 80kg as a result of my weight training, then surely if I trained harder and dropped the weight I could run 10 minutes faster, he pondered. On September 1 last year, I decided that I would win the M50 category at the 2015 London Marathon.Although he maintained

resistance training four to fi ve days a week, he embarked on a strict diet to lose weight. No bread, chocolate, in fact

anything that would be a wasted calorie was not going to enter my body until April 26, he says. I ate porridge for breakfast every day,

chicken and fresh vegetables with fruit was all that I was consuming by now.Dropping to 71 kg by race day,

he settled into target pace and caught up with Ben at 10 miles.As we came over Tower

Bridge the cheering from the crowd was unbelievable, he recalls. I had a lump in my throat, running over Tower Bridge in the London Marathon with my son is something that I cant ever imagine being bettered.Ben pulled away but Graham

was delighted with his time and pleased again to hear Adam fi nished in under three hours, thus winning a 1000 bet laid on by Ben a few months earlier.With his sights set on the future,

he said: One week following London and Im beginning to think what if I drop another 5kg, how fast could I run then?Perhaps, the world age-51

record of 2:24:18 will be an albeit tough target next London, but he believes that distances of 5km and shorter are where his best hopes lie.He will have his own brother as

competition, though. Andrews 31:33 was an age-52 world best. Graham admits: I was always in Andrews shadow as a runner, as indeed I still am. Something which I am happy about.Andrew won English Schools

titles and represented England.Ben outdid his fathers PBs in

some events and has run 1:47.47 for 800m. Adam won the North of England under-15 800m title, although he stopped running at 15. A little over a year into his

comeback to racing and, according to his father, two stones overweight, he has the potential to be running closer to his family members in next years London, which could be an even greener prospect for the family from Warrington AC.

RUNNERS are being given the opportunity to run on the track at the London Olympic Stadium for the last time before a new surface is laid for the 2016 outdoor season.The Diamond Relays is a 5x5km

event which will start and fi nish in the Olympic Stadium on the evening of Monday July 27, the day after the end of the Sainsburys Anniversary Games.Despite the high entry price

of 400 per team, organisers are hoping the chance to run on the Olympic track will encourage runners of all abilities to team up with clubmates, work colleagues or others.European 10,000m champion

Jo Pavey is helping to promote the event and said: The Diamond Relays are a great opportunity to race on the same track as the

likes of Usain Bolt, Mo Farah, Jess Ennis-Hill, David Weir and many more, who graced the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. I treasure my memories of

2012 and feel I can share in a part of the history that was set here.At around 9pm on the evening

of July 27, the last runner for the fi nal team will come into the

stadium and enjoy their moment of glory. Their fi nal lap may not be as quick as some of the great names that have run before them, but they will no doubt experience the goosebumps taking in a historic moment at such an iconic venue.The entry fee includes spectator

places inside the stadium. Early entries include 16 teams from EDF Energy, captained by Olympic 400m fi nalist Donna Fraser.The event makes use of British

Athletics exclusive use of the stadium every July for the next 50 years.The federation hopes to expand

the format to be part of a multi-day festival of running to coincide with the IAAF and IPC World Championships in London 2017.See www.loveathletics.uka.org.

JESSICA ENNIS-HILL admits she will be unusually nervous when she steps foot on to the track to compete for the fi rst time in nearly two years on Saturday.The Olympic heptathlon

champion, who is returning to the sport after giving birth last year, will compete in the 100m hurdles at the Great CityGames Manchester.Despite competing in her No.1

discipline, in which she is a former UK record-holder, she knows she will be an underdog as she faces world bronze medallist Tiff any Porter, world champion Brianna Rollins and European 60m hurdles silver medallist, Lucy Hatton.Its going to be such a strange

feeling because its been so long and I do get nervous when Im doing bits of training, so when Im back in that environment with a crowd of people watching and with some fast girls in the race I think I am going to be pretty nervous, said Ennis-Hill, who may well be counting the hurdles this time after winning the same event in Manchester in 2012 in 12.75 only to fi nd a PB would not be registered as there were one too few sets of flights in place on Deansgate. It makes me nervous just talking about it.Her 12.54 to start her Olympic

heptathlon in 2012 was a British record, which has since been surpassed by Porter, and Ennis-Hill is not sure how far she will be off that on Saturday.

She concedes she will probably be disappointed with her time, but says her expectations are quite low. She says of what she considers will constitute a successful comeback: I think to get on that start line, have a competitive race. Im in that no mans land at the moment where Im not quite sure what kind of times Im going to do. But I just want to enjoy it and want to be competitive, see what I can produce and know that I can build on that throughout the season.The Sheffi eld athlete, who has

been experiencing minor Achilles niggles, says returning to training after the birth of son Reggie last July was like starting out in her career all over again.Ennis-Hill has said trying to

come back from pregnancy to reach the very top again will be her greatest ever challenge. Indeed, having reached the pinnacle of her sport and acquired all the trappings that go with it, it would have been no great surprise if she had decided to hang up her spikes for good rather than

resume training for the most time-consuming event in womens athletics. London was incredible and it

will take a lot to top that but I never felt like I wanted to end my career there, she says. I always felt I had two to three more years left me. And having Reggie gave me a whole new challenge.Ive obviously had those

moments where Ive thought, what am I doing? Im crazy, but I love what I do and wanted to give it one last shot.As far as regaining peak fi tness,

she has pinpointed the Rio Olympics and will use this season as a build-up year.She will throw herself in at

the deep end in the world-class Hypomeeting heptathlon in Gotzis on May 30-31 to try to gain the qualifying mark for both the World Championships this year and Rio next year which are 6075 and 6200 respectively. Ennis-Hills current best of 6955 was set at the London Games of 2012.Im just trying to be very

realistic. I really want to be back

there. Im not unfortunately going to get back straight away at the beginning of the season, it is going to take a bit of time, she says.Ennis-Hill, who says she has

been inspired by the exploits of Jo Pavey, the mother-of-two who won European gold last year at the age of 40, realises winning gold in Rio would be an enormous achievement, but she thinks the standard required for a medal is within her grasp.The event does move on, she

says. But I think in the heptathlon youd probably pick up a medal with 6600, that kind of score. I think you have those athletes who progress and stand out, but generally the point score is quite similar every four years.She does not rule out focusing

on the hurdles should all not go to plan in the heptathlon, and says: I think hurdles is always an option in the back of my mind. But its just about getting back, getting competitive. I really want to be there, be competitive and want to win a medal so Im doing all I can to be there.

AS ALWAYS, the British Universities Championships was the curtain-opener to the domestic outdoor athletics

season. Held at Bedford, conditions were mixed, but in typical fashion, the student support more than made up for the weather.With some close contests and

promising early-season marks, highlighted by a championship best in the womens 400m for Kirsten McAslan and a UK under-20 record with the 7.26kg hammer for Taylor Campbell, Britains leading student athletes ensured the event lived up to its billing as one of most exciting events on the domestic calendar.

MenTAYLOR CAMPBELL is now the owner two UK under-20 records, having already broken the age-group mark with the 6kg implement at the Loughborough University BUCS Trials the previous weekend. In Bedford he added to his record tally with a throw of 69.39m with the heavier senior hammer. Campbell led a high-quality

competition as silver went to Osian Jones, who consolidated his position as second all-time on the Welsh rankings with 67.35m, while last years champion, Michael Painter, had to settle for bronze, despite throwing more than three metres further than last year with 65.23m.The 100m event lived up to

its blue riband status, last years England Athletics under-23 100m and 200m champion, Kieran Daly taking the title in 10.50 ahead of Sam Gordan and Imran Rahman. Im very pleased with the win

and the time, he said. 10.50 is my fastest season-opener, so theres more to come. It was also raining and the track was soaked with strong headwinds. For the rest of the year

I am aiming to build on last season and Ill try my best to make the team for the World Championships.Omololu Abiodun took the

200m in 21.41 to add to the indoor title he took earlier this year, while Jack Houghton won the 400m hurdles in 50.70.

In the flat 400m, indoor silver medallist Alex Boyce enjoyed taking victory in 47.26 from Jack Wightman and Christian Byron. Having clocked 13.83 in the

heats, last years silver medallist, David King, won the 110m hurdles in 13.92 to add to his 60m hurdles title earlier in the year. Its a great way to start and

much quicker than my opener last season, which is very encouraging for the coming season, he said.My next few races include

the Loughborough International and a couple abroad in Germany and Poland. I am confident of

running the European Under-23 qualifying time of 13.80 so all my races are leading up to that.Having claimed silver in this

event last year, England Athletics under-23 champion Jamie Webb went one better in 2015, taking the 800m title in 1:51.04 from Ben Waterman and Zak Curran. Meanwhile, Birmingham enjoyed a double victory in the distance events, courtesy of the two Jonnys, Davies taking the 5000m in 15:14.42 from Alberto Sanchez and Hay successfully defending his BUCS 10,000m title in 30:43.97 from Oxford Universitys Miles Unterreiner.

Both Davies and Hay showed the benefits of a recent training trip to Font Romeu.Having only come over from

Stanford this year, 28:49 man Unterreiner had been nave to Hays trademark fast finish. Unterreiner said: Ive been working on my shorter-distance speed a bit over the last few weeks, and consequently thought that I had a pretty good chance to win by outkicking the other two leaders in the final lap.I tried to put in a big kick on

the final lap. But Jonny was just way too quick for me. He used his top-end 1500m speed and just blew me out of the water.Scottish 800m champion

Chris Watson enjoyed his biggest victory so far when clocking a PB of 3:48.11 to win the 1500m almost two seconds clear of Tom Hook and James McMurrayJonathan Bailey was the only

athlete over 2m in the high jump with 2.01m. Joshua Olawore added the outdoor title to his indoor crown in the long jump with 7.42m and Alan Toward won the discus by nearly six metres.Having already won three

BUCS titles, Youcef Zatat was the obvious favourite in the shot

coming into the championships, but he took it all in his stride, winning by more than three metres with 17.08m. There was a little more

pressure on me than usual, he said. My mum always told me that the favourite tag accounts for nothing and I have to earn every win, so I reminded myself of that and Im happy to come away with another title. My university have done a lot

for me and I enjoyed throwing in front of a decent crowd. I just want to keep improving and the season should be fruitful.Winning is always nice. Im in a

lot better shape than the distance suggests, so the distance was a little disappointing, but to throw only a couple of centimetres under my PB isnt the end of the world. Conditions werent really conducive to big throws so

hopefully when the sun comes out I can throw a little further. Cardiff Met came out on top

in 4x100m, while Brunel took 4x400m honours.

WomenKIRSTEN MCASLAN was arguably the standout performer on the womens side, clocking a European under-23 qualifying mark of 52.46 to break Perri Shakes-Draytons fi ve-year-old championship best. This was also an outdoor PB for the British indoor champion and Scottish Commonwealth Games 4x400m relay competitor, who ran 52.28 indoors at the Sainsburys Birmingham Grand Prix.Im really happy with the win

and its a great opener to my season, which I hope I can build on, said McAslan.It was an exciting race, neck

and neck with Laviai on the home straight, but I just had enough strength to hold her off . BUCS is

such a great event and it means a lot to be able to represent my university.My main aim for the year is to

make the fi nal of the European Under-23 Championships.McAslan also led Laviai Nielsen

under 53 seconds for the fi rst time, the teenagers 52.61 being not only a European Under-20 qualifying standard and placing her fi fth on the UK under-20 all-time list, but it was also the quickest by a British teenager since Donna Fraser ran 52.54 in 1991. Zoey Clark took bronze in 53.11 and Nielsens twin sister, Lina, ran a PB of 53.58 for fourth.Sub-two-minute 800m athlete

Jess Judd was in action for Loughborough in her specialist event, taking top honours in 2:04.99..

Kirsten McAslan: championship best

For Judd, the championships served as a useful run-out after a recent training trip to America and she hopes to build on her performances from last year, which saw her claim spots in both European and Commonwealth Games finals, by qualifying for the European Under-23s or World Championships. I had different tactics

coming into it, as I wanted to try something different, she said. The first lap was very slow and I dont normally run that way. I loved representing Loughborough, as its purely being in Loughborough and the set-up with George (Gandy) that has led to me enjoying my running again and it was nice to see athletes from my training group also do well.World junior finalist Amy

Griffiths took the 1500m in 4:20.50 from last years champion Gemma Kersey in 4:21.74 and National cross country champion Lily Partridge.European under-23 cross

country champion Rhona Auckland took the 5000m in 16:01.48 ahead of previous winner Louise Small and Melissa Courtney. Adeline Goenon took an

impressive sprints double, clocking 11.61 and a PB 24.10 over 100m and 200m respectively, with Charlotte Wingfield claiming silver in both. Jessica Turner took the 400m

hurdles in 58.38, with Philippa Lowe also sub-60 with 59.66, after pre-race favourite and Irish international Christine McMahon was disqualified. Indoor silver medallist Marilyn

Nwawulor won the 100m hurdles in 13.84 after indoor champion Karla Drew was disqualified in the heats. Double Paralympic, world and

European champion Hannah Cockroft was just outside the championship best she set when winning the 100m title last year, clocking 18.27 for another victory.Having claimed silver in

the past three editions of the

championships, Eloise Meakins was understandably delighted to take her first BUCS title in the javelin with 46.08m, having led from the opening round. I am so happy to claim my

first BUCS athletics gold. Im not that pleased with the distance, but the conditions werent that great and it was enough to win, so I cant really complain, she said. I got a bit nervous in the final

round when everyone started improving and getting close to my first-round throw.The international canoeist is

aiming to gain selection for the European Under-23 Athletics

Championships, as well as continue with her canoeing, in which she recently won BUCS team medals. I do struggle sometimes to

fit in my training for canoeing around my javelin training, but being at Loughborough University enables me to combine both, said Meakins.Elsewhere in the throws,

Rachel Hunter retained her hammer title with 62.36m, Samantha Milner won the discus with 46.41m and Clare Fitzgerald added outdoor victory to her indoor title in the shot with 14.49m.

massive, massive chance to win a medal in Rio; more so of a chance than we have in the individual.Theres three big names at

home who I think have let us down a little bit. They all have their reasons for not coming but whats more important than qualifying for Rio automatically?We all committed to the relay

and certain people dont want to. We should be running with our A-team from 2015 to make sure that we gel all the way through and give ourselves the best possible opportunity for Rio and thats not happening right now.The GB team also came under

criticism for not sending middle-distance squads to the Bahamas.

Day oneEVEN Usain Bolt could not catch a flying American sprint relay quartet as United States won the mens 4x100m in Nassau on Saturday and also broke the world record in the womens distance medley.In the big race of the opening

day of the two-day meeting, Bolt was on the anchor leg for the world record-holders, Jamaica, but the US team of Mike Rodgers, Justin Gatlin, Tyson Gay and Ryan Bailey built up too much of a lead as they cruised home in 37.39 as Jamaica and Bolt finished second in 37.68.

It was the equal-seventh fastest performance in history, but a controversial victory given the drug-tainted background of team members Gatlin, Gay and Rodgers, not to mention US team coach Dennis Mitchell.The British 4x100m mens

team finished fourth in the heats but later won the B race final in 38.67 thanks to Andy Robertson, Danny Talbot, James Ellington and Richard Kilty.It gives us a benchmark in

terms of where we are at and clearly we are down from where we want to be, reflected Talbot. We have always got to try and be positive, we have all raced together before but this is a new order. Its unfortunate that we didnt run as well as what we can do but we have got to move forward and not be too negative on this.The United States dominated

and won three of the four finals. This included the womens distance medley where a world


ACTION IAAF World Relays, Bahamas, May 2-3

THE United States uccessfully defended the golden baton for being the most dominant team at the IAAF World

Relays in Nassau, Bahamas, last weekend.The team won seven of the 10

events which saw them easily repeat their overall victory of 12 months ago ahead of Jamaica.This included a win over the

Jamaican world record-holders, including Usain Bolt, in the mens 4x100m on the first day.Great Britain finished eighth

after third-place finishes in the womens 4x400m and 4x100m.In making the top eight in the

womens 4x100m as well as both the mens and womens 4x400m, Britain secured spots for each of those events at next years Olympic Games in Rio.Yet the absence of Chijindu

Ujah, James Dasaolu, Adam Gemili and Harry Aikines-Aryeetey led to Kilty complaining: We all have our individual aspirations but we have a
