I am in shock at the times from the Irish guys. 1.45.4 for both of them :shock: Huge pb's and considering our national record is 1'44.8 it's hugely exciting. Campbell had to zig-zag all down the straight stopping and starting as he went for the inside line, then had to go back outside. So, with that in mind....both are clearly capable of sub 1.45 :shock: :lol:
What is KILLING me however, is the fact that Chamney ran 1'45.41 when the A standard is 1.45.40....ergo, both guys only have the B standard so far and only one could go to worlds. Fingers corssed they find themselves in a few more quality races and get their times down some more!

Yes, according to IAAF:
It was later confirmed by his coach that he had sustained a hamstring cramp and that had led to him falling to the deck. ... Thankfully after lying motionless on the track for most of the race with a medical team in attendance, the 20-year-old got to his feet and aided, walked off.

It is common courtesy around here (and on the internet in general) to refrain from "yelling" in all caps.
