Quick quiz - there are five previous British DL winners, of which only one woman. Can you name them?
Oops, correct that - six winners, two women. |

Robbie Grabarz won the HJ in 2012 IIRC.

C Jackson? S Backley? D Green? . Good second place for Ofili, there, think there are good things coming for her next season now that she is out of the NCAA grind. |

Pedestrian run from Kendra, but another solid outing from Tiff's younger sister.

Hmm, another pair of British male sprinters who have missed the opportunity to move on they were they supposed to this year.

OT
When I started watching it was the Golden 4, first hour used to be on Channel 4 before switching over to ITV. Back then a sub 10 clocking was something to write home about! |

I'm sure I remember Greg Rutherford winning the DL at least once because I remember it being included in the 'complete set' of titles he'd won.
A bit more of a guess, Tiff Porter? Did she grab the DL title one year. |

The Woman should be easy given we can rule out all the field events bar maybe the long jump and the sprints.
Jenny Meadows is the only one I can think of who might fit the bill. |

Do you think outside of the Olympics and the World Championship that Zurich is the next most important event on the calendar

...and traditionally, the Swiss drop the baton.
Your British DL winners in full 2011: Dai Greene, Phillips Idowu, Jennie Meadows 2012: Robbie Grabarz 2014: Shara Proctor 2015: Greg Rutherford. So if Eilidh makes it a double next week, it'll be a pretty good achievement |

Funnily enough, we never once won the Golden League, but that was a different format, you had to go the whole season unbeaten, not just consistent top-3 like now. There were even a couple of years when someone got a $1,000,000 jackpot, would you believe?
