Excellent start by Manx athletes

Happy faces all round - and with good reason!
Ciara McDonnell and Danielle Ross both got through to the semi-finals of the 100 metres after finishing 3rd in their respective heats. Ciara recorded a big pb of 12.83 and Danielle a big season's best of 12.82. They were proud to show the Manx flag afterwards!
Gemma Astin and Rachael Franklin were the first 2 across the line in Heat 1 of the 1500m (Rachael a fraction of a second ahead), qualifying easily for the final with loads in hand.
Tom Riley prepares for his heat of the 200m which he won in a very impressive time of 22.11.
More details later. It's 10pm here now - time for some more sunbathing!

  1. Good coverage David and well done for posting the videos. One less job for me when you get back.

    Good luck to all the team (once again).
