Olympic Athletics - Romsey teen and athletics star has hopes for the Olympic

The teenage Romsey established himself on the international stage as a rising 1500m runner. Annie Mann, 17, was the youngest to compete in the 1500m at the UK Senior Indoor Championships, where she competed against champions such as European, World and Olympic Champion Laura Muir.

The Itchen College student, who started running at Holterworth High and is often seen training at Romsey, finished eighth in the final. Annie also won the European Under-18 Championship and placed fifth at the World Tour in Boston earlier this year. The athlete is ranked third in the world in her age group with a personal best time of 4 minutes 19 seconds. The rising star said: It's still a bit surreal. I don't think I had time to realize it because everything happened so fast.

“I was incredibly pleased with my performance on my debut at the UK Championship. I did not expect that I would qualify, and then I got to the final. Next, I hope to lower my personal bests by 800m, 3000m and 1500m on the track, and I am aiming to qualify for the European Championships or the Commonwealth Youth Games in August.”

The athlete, who works for the Winchester Athletics Club, hopes to go to university in America next year and is set to compete in the 2028 Olympics. Annie's father, James Mann, said: I'm very happy for her and very proud. There was a feeling that she belonged in the British Championship, a real moment of growing up for her.

It will be hard to see her go to America, but it will be chasing her dream, so it won't be too bad. I just want her to enjoy her run and see where she takes her. Annie added: It's the only sport I'm really good at. I just always loved to run. Even on days when I don't like it, you feel better and I'm very competitive.

Getting out and running is very easy, nothing is needed. You can just go out, you don't need any equipment or a specific location. I run everywhere in Romsey, I never get stuck in one place. Often I pass through the city center and past the Romsey School.

My family is incredibly supportive and everyone who trains is amazing, my coach, my training partners and my college also gave me great free time to race.

Twenty years later, Bernard Lagat began to gain momentum, as it turned out, his return was tumultuous. Based on the drug test controversy, Peter Ball sees the same problem. And James Templeton, who has been Lagat and Bol’s boss since 2018. He is prejudiced that the Australian 800m star has what it takes to thrive after a major shock. Lagat was suspended in September 2003 after he returned a positive A sample for the erythropoietin drug EPO.

Before he was allowed to compete again after his B sample tested negative about a month later. He did not win gold at the 2004 Athens Olympics Moroccan legend Hisham El Guerrouj beat him by 0.12 seconds in the men’s 1500 meters. But his 2004 campaign brought home the world title in the 3000 meters indoors.

And, according to the prestigious Track & Field News magazine, the first place this year in the men’s 1500 meters. The claim that the mantle was largely the result of Lagat beating El Guerrouj in two of their three 2004 bouts over 1500 meters.

‘I’m not going to quit yet’ – Gwen Jorgensen vows to fight on

A frustrated Gwen Jorgensen admitted she was disappointed with her 14th place in the New Plymouth Triathlon World Cup and didn't know what would happen next, but she vowed she wouldn't quit when she got back. The 2016 Olympic gold medalist and two-time world champion competed in her first World Cup in seven years — and just five months after giving birth to her second child — and continues her ambitious bid to qualify for the Olympic Paris.

It was her second race after her third in the Oceania Cup Triathlon in Taupo and a significant chance to earn ranking points after a six-week break in New Zealand.

Not impressed with the outcome

But shortly after, while showing her latest YouTube video, which is embedded below, the American star said: I came here to perform and it was a big investment to bring the whole family together, so I'm not impressed with the result, but it was mine best during the day.

“I think we had a really great training block and I'm actually really happy that we came because our family had a great trip. Speaking about the race, she explained that it started with the worst possible start: I immediately tripped on my way to the water to swim, so I was the last one and I had to try to make my way up. I came out in 37th place, which is not very good.”

I got on the bike and fought very, very hard and ended up almost in the first group on the second lap. I did a big push on the hill, but then there was a sharp turn and they accelerated a little and there was nothing left at my feet. I gave my best on this lap on the bike and it was a real shame not to make this bridge.

The transition wasn't great then - I thought my bike was going to flip so I lost some time there - but I was happy with my run, I think it's like that now. She remains the record holder in New Plymouth and this time ran the 5K in 16:25, with eventual winner Nicole Van Der Kaay setting a best time of the day of 16:12.

“No, that sucks”

In the video, Pat Lemieux's husband reminds her of the bigger picture and even achieving World Cup competition just five months after giving birth, but she replies, No, it sucks. I'm not going to come out and say it's great because I don't think it's great. I'm disappointed by this, but it's reality.

I don't have points to race so I don't know what's next and I think it's frustrating me adding: is it worth it? I'm not going to quit just yet. Now the family will be heading home after what they described as an incredible life experience and we'll be watching her next move as she aims to be on that formidable US medley relay team for Paris.
