Sarah Healy is a bit of an unknown in terms of form but given the crew she trains with, if she is hanging with them in sessions she will be in the mix of both races. I reckon she has a great shot in the 5,000m if she can stay there from 3,600-4,600…she’d be tough to beat in the last 400m

Agree. Similar story. Battocletti and Koster will make it a 14:45 ish race and wipe 3/4 of the field out

If Healy can hang with Innes Fitz she'll Medal.

I hope she goes all in on the 5000m because I don't fancy her doubling back at all

heat sheets for the 800m

Cian's one is difficult

It's first 3 and next 4 fastest

True, but Kramer's only got a 1.48 this year and Tual is maybe not where he was. I'd be disappointed if either fails to Q.

Big time, the lads are here for Medals

Perfect for English and second heat much faster, also a win, and the Brit not even top 3 in that second heat.

Hmmmm, season's form didn't lie, did it?

McPhillips miles off it, clearly not 100%

Disaster of a race.

You wouldn't pick anyone out of that ahead of English.

Patterson had to dig deep

I just saw that Rachel McCann has withdrawn due to a calf tear sustained at nationals.

Relay is an absolute wasteland

Greggy just reported Cian McPhillips had a Virus all week

Shit luck
