European meetings

Pfungstadt, Germany, June 18
Kyle Langford smashed his PB with a world qualifying mark of 1:44.61 to finish two metres up on Neil Gourley who improved his PB by well over a second to 1:44.82 well clear of German Christoph Kessler’s 1:45.27.

The Commonwealth silver medallist was always well-placed (third just inside 52 at the bell)  and carrying on his bolder tactics of late, took the lead at 600m and kicked strongly. His previous best was 1:44.83 and comes after a string of good runs without the necessary fast times.

Gourley’s improvement was also even more notable as he finished fast and closed on the Shaftesbury Harrier in the finishing straight as he also added his name to Britain’s Eugene two-lap qualifiers.

His previous best was 1:46.12 from 2019 and come in a year he has also run 7:48.94 indoors at 3000m to bounce back from an injury ravaged 2021 which cost him a chance to make the team for Tokyo.

Fourth in the Oslo Dream Mile in a PB 3:52.08, the 2019 world 1500m finalist will be looking for a good run in Manchester this week to gain a place in Britain’s metric mile team but is up against three Olympic finalists, who all head him in the 2022 rankings.
