Georgia Hunter-Bell had some interesting comments about why she’s only did the 800 here. She said if the 800 was first she probably would have double and also said that if she’d known Welteji was out of the 1500, she also probably would have doubled.
But she said she watched the 1500 final and thinks she made the right call as she’s never beaten Jessica Hull (or Faith Kipyegon) in a 1500 and FJessica only got the bronze.
Sekogdiso told Jonathan Gault that her pulling out had nothing to do with the fall in her heat. She picked up a hamstring injury while warming up today and tried to give it a go.
Very emotional interview. In tears but again a class act for meeting with us.
