Have we got a new middle distance hero?

Quite possibly!

Number 6 all-time and the majority of those above him in the list are household names (Coe, Ovett, Cram etc)

Also well done to Tom L for winning the 1500 in the same meet and obtaining Olypmpic qualification with a massive PB... He probably wouldn't have been too far behind Badders had he ran the mile instead.

Great runs from Andy and Tom with Michael East running pretty strongly too - those must be our 3 Beijing-bound 1500m guys.

Now if the 800m guys could get it together too, and Mo have a good run in the 5k, Beijing could be good.

Edit: And yet, what's the lead story on the BBC Athletics pages? Bloody Dwain Chambers again! Why can't the media ever report some good news in preference to the sensationalist claptrap?
