Agreed. I think it's partially UK Athletics' fault for reinforcing any notion that you can't compete well at two championships 5-6 weeks apart. Laura & Lynsey could, I'm sure, have come away with Gold without grinding themselves into the ground for Rio (definitely Laura anyway; Lynsey would have been in the shake-up for Gold).

, I posted about this earlier!
Even by the standards of American juniors in recent years, that's utterly insane!
Norvege are indeed having a great Championships.”
