Gregson Ready to Fire in Doha

It's been a difficult period for Ryan Gregson over the past 18 months. After such an amazing 2010, where he set a new National Record of 3.31.06 for the 1500m in Monaco, Gregson has been frustrated by injuries which have led to a best time since 2010 of only 3.36.64.

Breen Express Rolls on in Hiroshima, Hunt Misses "A" in Hamburg

The final selection meeting for the London Olympics is set down for the 11th June, with many of our track and field athletes still trying to find that magical Olympic "A" standard prior to this important deadline.

Over in Japan it was the case of so close but yet so far for Melissa Breen as she again ran a whisker of the Olympic A qualifier for the 100m of 11.29s. In her heat at the Ode Memorial meeting in Hiroshima, Breen clocked an impressive 11.30s (+1.4m/s) to again lower her PB, but still came up short of the London qualifier (after initially seeing 11.27s come up on the trackside timer - only to see the time rounded up by a very surprising 0.03s).

More Records for Stein in Sydney and Tallent in China - Aussie Wrap

With the National Championships still two weeks away it was the likes of Jake Stein and Claire Tallent who provided the highlights in both Australia and overseas over the past three days. Stein, 18, produced yet another Australian record, this time improving his own Australian U/20 record in the decathlon to a very impressive 7886 points. While over in China Tallent placed 5th in the 20km walk at the IAAF World Challenge, equally impressive with a new personal best of 1:28.53 - smashing her previous PB which had stood since 2010 (1:32.02).
