Major absentees
BRITAIN’S reigning
Olympic champions led a disappointing list of big names who were absent from their national championships.
Jess Ennis-Hill, of course, was doing a heptathlon in Germany, while Greg Rutherford preferred to remain in the United States to train and Mo Farah also saw no need to test himself against Britain’s best.
But the absentees also included Christine Ohuruogu, Kyle Langford, Lisa Dobriskey, Andrew Osagie, Ashleigh Nelson, Isobel Pooley, Meghan Beesley, Delano Williams, Dan Bramble, Lorraine Ugen and Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake.
