Werro, onreal. LOL, handbags with Femke at 600m an’all.
Sub 1:55 for Femke - yet another PB and NR

1:55 not too shabby from GHB either

Jaysus, no bother to Kung Fu Kenny, 19.62 slaughters the field. WL an’ all.

Wow, some great stuff. There's an entire replay of the whole thing on YT. Scrolled and caught lots of the action already including both the 800s. Femke is getting interesting lads, but Werro is definitely the queen for now.

It was a top night of athletics. Some buzz to attend an event like this - with highlight after highlight all evening. It's nearly better than the finals in Brussels because it's all packed together.

Mondo only won by 5cm in the end - great craic developing there.

Femke with another winter will become very interesting in that 800m. She was a bit more aggressive tonight but needed to force Werro wider - that’ll come. Great event now with so many top runners. WR will go in next 12months for sure.

You have Odira and Hodgkinson to come back into the mix - it's brilliant

Landmark run for Sophie O’Sullivan in second-place Italy finish

Rhasidat Adeleke was in action at the same meeting, the 24-year-old Dubliner finishing sixth.

O'Sullivan just a tenth off Ciara Mageean's 800m Irish record

She seems like a great kid. Always smiling and brilliant to see her improving.

would be fascinated to know how her training has went across the winter/spring. She clocked an impressive pb in the 800m before the euros, and another now, but at the Euros she struggled off a pace I would have thought was doable for a sub 2min 800m athlete.

There is something there for sure but I wonder if her aerobic base lacking or something. She has the parents to guide her to sort it….so she ain’t lacking from guidance perspective

You're asking the wrong man here tbh....as someone who doesn't really know anything about athletics, she just comes across as a star to me in terms of her personality. I think people will gravitate towards her if her performances remain high.
