MANCHESTER, England : Zharnel Hughes came tantalisingly close to shattering another decades-old British sprint record on Sunday, winning the 200 metres at the UK Athletics Championships in a blistering 19.87 seconds, spoiled by an illegal wind.
"I'm relieved about the times I'm putting on display at the moment. For a long time I have known these performances have been in me, but to execute them now at this stage is brilliant. I have put so much work in this season, and it's showing." Daryll Neita, a two-time Olympic bronze medallist in the 4x100m relay, clocked a stadium and championship record 22.26 in the women's 200m.
"It feels even more special when you know that you are competing with the best of the best in the UK." "I train for bobsleigh through the winter so then training starts in April for me," said Nicoll, a World Cup silver medallist in bobsleigh and winter Olympian in Beijing in 2022."I like to prove I can do whatever I put my mind to."
