SCOTT LINCOLN’S MILESTONE – SCOTT will be going for his 10th outdoor national Shot title this weekend and has been in superbly consistent form this summer. He threw over 21 metres in February and coming into the summer has beaten the barrier again in six competitions. This included equalling his PB of (21.28m) in Halle and then adding three centimetres to it with (21.31m) in Ostrava. On the way home from the Ostrava meeting, he reluctantly had to put his shot in a bin at the airport too when airport staff said it was too heavy to go in his hand luggage.
At the recent European Championships in Rome, meanwhile, SCOTT finished in fourth place, which was the best by a Brit in the event since GEOFF CAPES won bronze in the same city 50 years earlier.

RESULTS
Just to clarify, that the results I publish can be different to those that are shown on the Power of 10. The differences relate to seasons and personal best performances. For example in the recent EYAL results, an athlete in the 200m ran (24.1), and on his profile his season’s best was shown as (23.88) indoors. As the 200m indoors and outdoors are totally different type of events, I had shown the (24.1) as a season’s best.
The Power of 10 publishes separate UK rankings for indoor and outdoor performances.

OLYMPIC SELECTION AT STAKE AT UK ATHLETIC CHAMPIONSHIPS – The following article was published on the Athletics Weekly website recently.
National championships at Sportcity in Manchester will see athletes aiming to make the Paris Games this weekend. The UK Athletics Championships might not be as cut-throat as the US Olympic Team Trials but this weekend’s event in Manchester promises to be just as exciting for British fans.
Unlike the brutal elimination of athletes such as Athing Mu at the US Trials in Oregon, the British system has some leniency.
MU’S rival KEELY HODGKINSON, for example, is allowed to run the 400m at the British trials. Similarly, world 1500m champion JOSH KERR is going to test his speed in the 800m. ZHARNEL HUGHES, the UK 100m and 200m record-holder, meanwhile, has been given the nod by UK Athletics medics to miss the event entirely due to a recent hamstring injury.
Still, the majority of places in the British team for Paris will be hard fought this weekend (June 29-30) at Sportcity. The predicted heatwave doesn’t look set to fall on the North West of England either but the athletics action will definitely be hot (and hopefully drier than last year’s rain-soaked event). As usual the top two athletes at the trials will be selected if they have a qualifying standard. For the the full selection criteria, see here.
BBC will be covering the action live on both Saturday and Sunday too on its website, red button and iPlayer. Looking for potential highlights? Here are 10 to watch out for.
HINCHLIFFE the breakthrough Brit of the sprints scene – The North West of England enjoyed the surreal experience of a visit from CARL LEWIS seven months ago when the nine-time Olympic champion descended on the Liverpool Cross Challenge. It could happen again this weekend too if LEWIS travels over from the Houston to support one of the athletes he coaches, LOUIE HINCHLIFFE. The last time the Sheffield athlete HINCHLIFFE raced in Manchester he finished a modest fourth in an indoor 60m race in 2022 and was then sixth in his heat at the UK Indoor Championships a few weeks later in Birmingham. What a difference a couple of years makes, though, as he started this summer with a wind-assisted (9.84) before winning the NCAA title in Eugene in (9.95). Can he repeat that form on Saturday as he takes on JEREMIAH AZU, EUGENE AMO-DADZIE, OJIE EDOBURUN, ROMELL GLAVE, CJ UJAH and REECE PRESTCOD among others?
Ready for another men’s 800m battle royale? – Last year’s 800m final was a humdinger with MAX BURGIN taking out the pace in (49.74) at the bell before faltering in the home straight as DAN ROWDEN took the win in (1:45.13) in a blanket finish from BEN PATTINSON and BURGIN.
The enigmatic BURGIN has not raced (again) so far this summer but is entered for this weekend’s event. Has he managed to get his fragile Achilles tendons through enough sessions lately to make an impact?. If he hits the front in typical style then you can expect the likes of world bronze medallist PATTISON, defending champion ROWDEN, KYLE LANGFORD, YUSUF BIZIMANA, CALLUM DODDS, TOM RANDOLPH, FINLEY MCLEAR, ALEX BOTTERILL, ETHAN HUSSEY, GUY LEARMOUTH, OLIVER DUSTIN and REECE SHARMAN-NEWELL to be chasing hard. If he runs 800m instead of 1500m, ELLIOT GILES will probably start favourite, though. Looking for a wild card? How about JOSH KERR, the world 1500m champion who was fifth in this race last year.
KJT tests her fitness in three events ahead of Paris – KATARINA JOHNSON-THOMPSON’S attempt to win her first European heptathlon title didn’t go to plan in Rome this month as she pulled out after three events with a minor injury. Paris is what really matters, though, so the world champion will be hoping to hone her form in Manchester this weekend in the high jump, 200m and javelin. After world champion ANNA HALL qualified for Paris at the US trials, together with NAFI THIAM taking the European crown in Rome, it means the heptathlon is developing into one of the must-watch events of this summer’s Games. The high jump this weekend should be particularly competitive for KJT as she faces reigning champion MORGAN LAKE, who also didn’t enjoy a brilliant European Championships either with sixth place in the final.
ASHER-SMITH and NEITA in sprints action – When it comes to potential head-to-heads, DINA ASHER-SMITH versus DARYLL NEITA is hard to beat. Right now NEITA is entered for 100m and 200m with ASHER-SMITH in the 200m. But if they square off in Manchester you can expect a close race. Both athletes are in great form. ASHER-SMITH won the European 100m title in Rome this month while NEITA lost out on 200m gold by one hundredth of a second to MUJINGA KAMBUNDJI.
Green light for AMBER ANNING – AMBER ANNING went No.3 on the UK all-time 400m rankings earlier this summer with (49.51) in Florida – she broke KATHARINE MERRY’S long-standing UK indoor 200m record as well – and this is a rare chance to see the US-based sprinter run on home soil.
If she can repeat her sub-50-second form in Manchester, she should win. But look out for in-form LAVIAI NIELSEN, while NICOLE YEARGIN has been in winning shape on the European circuit. Then there is VICTORIA OHURUOGU, YEMI MARY JOHN and the 800m specialist KEELY HODGKINSON dropping down in distance for the second time this season to test her speed.
Teenage sensation GILL to make her mark? – Just 17, PHOEBE GILL ran a stadium record of (1:58.07) at the BMC Grand Prix at Sportcity in May. She has run even quicker in 2024, too, with (1:57.86) in Belfast and comes into the UK Championships with the ability to make the Olympic team as a teenager. With KEELY HODGKINSON running 400m instead, JEMMA REEKIE is the athlete to beat. Look out too for ERIN WALLACE, ALEX BELL, ELLIE BAKER and ISSY BOFFEY.
MUIR is the athlete to beat in the women’s 1500m – LAURA MUIR is the one to beat in the women’s 1500m as the British record-holder at 1000m, 1500m and the mile, in addition to being a two-time European 1500m champion, Commonwealth gold medallist and Olympic silver medallist from Tokyo. Now coached by British Athletics endurance performance manager STEVE VERNON, she is still at the top of her game with a (3:56.35) clocking for 1500m already this summer, which is just a couple of seconds outside her UK record. She was out-kicked last year by KATIE SNOWDEN, though, while GEORGIA BELL, REVEE WALCOTT-NOLAN, MELISSA COURTNEY-BRYANT and SARAH MCDONALD are also likely to be in the mix.
HUDSON-SMITH tests his speed – With a recent European record of (44.07) in Oslo, MATTHEW HUDSON-SMITH is set to run the 200m in Manchester. Don’t discount his chances either as he started out at this event and is a former English Schools winner in it. HUDSON-SMITH faces JERIEL QUAINOO, NETHANEEL MITCHELL-BLAKE, MICHAEL OHIOZE and JONA EFOLOKO. In the 400m this leaves the path clear for CHARLIE DOBSON, as the rising star has run (44.38) this summer and placed runner-up to ALEXANDER DOOM in the European Championships in Rome this month. Behind, look out for CHARLIE CARVELL, LEWIS DAVEY, ALEX HAYDOCK-WILSON, TOBY HARRIES and others to be involved in a dust-up for relay spots.
No KERR, but men’s 1500m is still stacked – KERR might be racing 800m but that doesn’t mean this will be an easy race for anyone. JAKE WIGHTMAN, the 2022 world 1500m champion, leads the entries but will face NEIL GOURLEY, PIERS COPELAND and ADAM FOGG. GILES will be a major contender if he chooses the metric mile over 800m. GEORGE MILLS must also choose whether to run 1500m or 5000m? He won European silver behind JAKOB INGEBRIGTSEN this month, of course.
Full timetable here.
MOLLY CAUDERY SOARS TO BRITISH POLE VAULT RECORD OF 4.92M – The following article was published on the Athletics Weekly website recently.
The 24-year-old beats HOLLY BRADSHAW’S national mark in damp conditions in Toulouse on Saturday. MOLLY CAUDERY showed she is in fantastic form ahead of the UK Championships and Olympic trials in Manchester by breaking HOLLY BRADSHAW’S British record of (4.90m) with (4.92m) at the Toulouse Capitole Perche pole vault street event in France. In wet conditions and surrounded by spectators sheltering under the rain with umbrellas, the 24-year-old from Cornwall cleared a world-leading mark of (4.92m), improving her lifetime best by 6cm as she went No.7 on the all-time rankings.
Her (4.90m) was also the best women’s pole vault mark in the world since 2021. It follows the disappointment of the European Championships in Rome earlier this month where she won bronze in a competition won by ANGELICA MOSER of Switzerland with (4.78m).
CAUDERY, who won the world indoor title in March, entered the competition in Toulouse at (4.36m) and then cleared (4.51m) and (4.61m) on her first attempts. After passing at (4.67m) she needed two attempts at (4.73m), but then cleared (4.80m) on her first attempt and her record-breaking height on her second try. The Briton then had a single go at (5.00m). MARIE-JULIE BONIN finished runner-up with (4.51m), while her fellow French athlete THIBAUT COLLETT won the men’s vault with (5.82m).
LEADING CONTENDERS FOR THE SPRINT RACES AT THE 2024 OLYMPICS – The following article was published on the Athletics Weekly website recently.
AW promotion – The Track and Field events are many people’s highlights of the Olympic Games and this year should be set to see some mouth-watering clashes on the track in Paris. Here is a look at the 100 and 200 metres events, and who are the leading contenders for the gold medal.
Men’s 100 Metres – NOAH LYLES dominated the men’s sprint events at the World Championship in Budapest in 2023, taking gold in both the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay competitions. His focus in Paris will be to land gold in the men’s 100m, adding his name to the history books alongside the likes of USAIN BOLT, CARL LEWIS and JESSE OWENS. No American athlete has won gold in the men’s 100m since JUSTIN GATLIN prevailed in Athens in 2004. The race was dominated by BOLT between 2008 and 2016, while in Tokyo in 2021, MARCELL JACOBS gave Italy a first triumph in the event. LYLES is the favourite for the 100m, with a host of betting sites having the Floridian at odds as short as 6/4 to bring home the gold medal. One of the leading rivals to LYLES in the men’s 100m is AKANI SIMBINE. He finished fourth in the event in 2021, just missing out on a medal. The South African has been running consistently well since then and goes into Paris with high hopes of at least a medal this time.
Women’s 100 metres – The women’s 100m is one of the most fascinating events at this year’s Olympics. Jamaican trio SHERICKA JACKSON, SHELLEY-ANN FRASER-PRYCE and ELAINE THOMPSON-HERAH are among the leading contenders once again. FRASER-PRYCE won gold in 2008 and 2012, while THOMPSON-HERAH has been successful in the last two renewals, with gold coming in 2016 and 2021. No woman in history has won this event three times, so the pair are on the verge of a historical success. JACKSON could spoil the party for the Jamaican legends. She ran the fifth fastest 100m time in history by a female athlete when she clocked (10.65) in Kingston in 2023. The Bronze medallist from Tokyo is hopeful of at least one gold medal this summer.
Men’s 200 metres – LYLES is aiming to win four gold medals in Paris this summer, bettering the three picked up by BOLT in London (2012) and Beijing (2016). He is hoping to win gold in the 100m, 200m, 4x100m relay and 4x400m relay. The 26-year-old’s best chance in the four events is likely to be the 200m. The American won bronze in the final four years ago in Tokyo behind ANDRE DE GRASSE and KENNETH BEDNAREK respectively. Silver medallist BEDNAREK respectively. Silver medallist BEDNAREK will go into the 2024 Olympic Games full of confidence following his performances in the Diamond League this year. In Doha, he set a personal best of (19.67) in the 200m event, prevailing with ease. The former world number one ranked athlete in the 200m division believes he can run faster than he did in Doha. If he breaks his PB again, he will have an excellent chance of going a place better than he did in Tokyo.
Women’s 200 metres – JACKSON won gold medals at the World Championships in Eugene (2022) and Budapest (2023). She heads into the 2024 Olympic Games as the athlete to beat in the women’s 200m competition. The 29-year-old ran the second fastest 200m time by a woman in history in Budapest last summer. She recorded (21.41), a personal best and a national record in Jamaican. That performance has given her confidence that she could even break the world record in this event in Paris. JACKSON was successful in the Diamond League in Marrakech earlier this year. She has been working with coach STEPHEN FRANCIS recently to ensure she goes into Paris in the best possible condition. GABRIELLE THOMAS finished second to JACKSON at the World Championship in Budapest in 2023. The US champion has consistently performed well in this event over the last few years, and she is considered the leading challenger to the Jamaican.
The 2024 Olympics Games begin on Friday, 26th of July, with the track and field events set to start on Thursday, 1st of August.
