Action from the Manchester Great City Games

Some action from the Great City Games in Manchester last night. Thankfully, the rain stayed off long enough to get all the events pretty much completed and there were some good performances for an early season outdoor meet.

Britain’s Greg Rutherford returned from a 3 month training camp in Arizona to win the long jump with a Games record 8.20m.

Dafne Schippers won the women’s 100m in 10.94 well ahead of the rest of the field, while Kim Collins showed a clean pair of heels to the younger runners with a time 10.08 secs, with 60m world indoor champion Trayvon Bromell second, and Britons Chijindu Ujah and Richard Kilty third and fourth respectively.

Tiffany Porter won the 100m hurdles in 12.89 ahead of Lucy Hatton. Britain's David King clipped teh last hurdle and was unlucky to lose out to Ryan Wilson of the United States.

In the women's pole vault, America's Katie Nageotte won with a 4.50m vault.
