Interesting story of Rose Harvey who's going to be good to watch in the marathon, Rose Harvey lockdown redundancy, but for me I'm looking forward to Emily Campbell in the Weightlifting the most :grin:

Saw some of the GB athletes (on TV only, unfortunately) at the London Dimond league athletics meet at the weekend. Several amazings runs from people like Keely Hodgkinson (800m) and Matthew Hudson-Smith (400m) with world leading times. Athletics is going to so good at these Olympics!
