Turned out to be a cracking Champs, I reckon - very glad that I took the 3 days off to watch it all. As usual, UK Athletics were their normal clueless selves - reading between the lines of some of the interviews, they had originally planned to send out a team of duffers but a mutiny by some of the senior athletes like Martyn Rooney shamed them into sending a decent team. I just wonder if some of the big names who didn't participate - Laura Muir, Lyndsay Sharp, Ace Rimmer - regret their decision now. It's a much better preparation for Rio to run in one of these gnarly slow races than to run in one of those staged pacemaker-dominated celebrity processions that you get in the Diamond League.
