The Not Necessarily the Anniversary Games, aka London DL in exile, aka Gateshead revisited, aka Gateshead 2 was a fascinating event. Some big athletes pulled, Sifan Hassan, Katie Nageotte, but the performances in Gateshead seemed to help the athletes who were there. This piece, on the top 8 GB performances, written by Stuart Weir in the wee hours of the morning, prior to a little sleep, then a train home back to Oxford.

Thanks, Stuart.

2 Holly Bradshaw

Second in the pole-vault with 4.71. She commented afterward: “I have been struggling the last couple of weeks off the back of that 4.90 with some technical elements. Because it is such a technical event you really need to be firing on all cylinders. Stockholm was a battle and Monaco was a bit of a battle. I needed this confidence boost and I needed some reps under the belt to help me feel my jump. I can now go and train with confidence for the next couple of weeks and really get those jumps down.”

3 CJ Ujah

Second in the 100m in 10.10, finishing ahead of Andre de Grasse, Fred Kerley and Zharnel Hughes. He said: “I’ve run consistently through the Diamond Leagues (10.10). It’s about being healthy and I’m happy in terms of how it was competitive, but I definitely need to go a lot faster to compete with what Trayvon did out there today. I’ll get it right through the rounds at the Olympics”.

Third in 110m hurdles in 13.45

5 Cindy Sember

Winner in 12.69 “Things feel like they are coming together nicely. This was definitely a race to get my confidence up and get me excited for Tokyo and I definitely did that”.

6 Katie Snowden

Second in the Millicent Fawcett Mile in 4:28.04: “. I just wanted to position myself well in what was a pretty strong field. Looking at Tokyo in a few weeks it will be really important to nagivate my way through the rounds and pace myself well and I think this was a great practice for that.

7 Katerina Johnson-Thompson

Seventh in the long jump, 6.10m in only her third competition of the year after injury, “That proves that I’m 100% fit. I only got one no jump. It’s proved I’ve made big strides and that I can come out and do the full five jumps off my full approach and hopefully over the coming weeks I can work on my technique a bit more and the distance will come in Tokyo I’m sure”.

8 Jessie Knight

Fourth in the 400H. She tweeted: “We back on track. 54.69 and a PB”
