GOOD TIMING

- Steve Smythe, result editor
IT was bad luck that really great track weather in Britain only happened after the Olympic team was named. However, athletes had known all year when the deadline was and what was required. This weekend the likes of Richard Kilty, Joel Fearon, David Omoregie and Charlene Thomas produced great performances but irrelevant in terms of Rio as the teams were finalised and, this time, it wasn’t British selectors being elitist, inflexible or bloody-minded!
RUDISHA IN TOP FORM
HUNGARY
Szekesfehervar, July 17/18
OLYMPIC champion David Rudisha returned to winning ways as he led home the 800m in a world-leading 1:43.35, well clear of Jonathan Kitlit’s 1:44.16.
Akani Simbine won the 100m in a South African record of 9.89 ahead of Asafa Powell, who ran 9.92 for his 96th sub-10.
