Action from Day 1 of the British Indoor Team Trials 2017

Andrew Pozzi won the Men's 60m hurdles on the first day of the 2017 British Indoor Team Trials at the EIS, Sheffield - equalling the World Lead of 7.44 earlier in the day to also break the Stadium Record.

In the Men’s 60m final Dwain Chambers saved his best run of the season to run 6.62 and claim the bronze medal.

Asha Philip took her fourth British Indoor Women's title in the Women’s 60m in 7.19.

 

The Women’s high jump ended with Morgan Lake and Bethan Partridge as joint gold medallists.

In the Women’s pole vault, Jade Ive beat favourite Sally Peake with a personal best of 4.35m to go sixth on the UK all-time list.

The last final of the day was the women’s shot put, a penultimate round 17.43m saw Rachel Wallader take the title ahead of Sophie McKinna who threw a personal best of 16.74m for silver.

In the 400m semi-finals Eilidh Doyle was the quickest qualifier for the final on Day 2.

In other events, Anthony Whiteman ran a World Record time for a veteran of 1:52.96 in the Men's 800m heats.  And spare a thought for Ronnie Wells of Yeovil who, having been disqaulified for a false start in his heat of the Men's 60m appealed and won the chance of a re-race on his own for a time to get into the semi-finals. 

Out on the start line on his own, the starter gave the orders.....and he false started again.  Definitely one for "What happened next...?"

Press Conference in advance of the UK Indoor Athletics Championships

It's the day before a major meet so the press are invited to phtoograph and interview a selection of Team GB athletics stars at the EIS, Sheffield where the real action happens this weekend.

Always a nice treat as they're not speeding past you for once, so the shutter speed can come down, and always have time for a quick chat.
