@slowencorbett02 Come on. You know full well this isn't representative. And out of the many points I could make, multiple competitors who were around then have said there just isn't as much money around for the B circuit as there used to be.
Not to mention

@Tolu_ibr Flat wind and shit start, a year off, think she might come round by the end of the year. In 21.7x form imo. The 'allegations' imo come from the first parts of her race, as we saw a bit of in the 100m last year
Firstly - done in still air, with a poor start from Gabby, so she's in 21.7x or lower form...
Brilliant race on replay from Kayla white, who has been around 22 second form but this is a proper, meaningful, complete race that bodes well
Gabby Thomas πΊπΈ storms to a Meet Record of 21.83s to win the women's 200m at the Gyulai Istvan Memorial!
Kayla White πΊπΈ who got out brilliantly finished 2nd in a PB of 21.92s.
@seftelevision I didn't include that point about kids because I'm not sure it's brilliantly representative (although something they could've promoted in response to BBC). I just had email notifications turned on and reporting a 30% adult increase over last year was left off the article.
worth noting that by 30th May last year, the London diamond league had sold out...
Tickets were also Β£20 for adults, Β£10 for under 16s - this year Β£26 for adults, Β£5 for under 16s
that's a 30% price spike for adults who will form the majority attending
Great to sell lots of tickets by selling cheap
But do also think this event needs to bring money into the sport rather than make a loss
Full day of world-class athletics in London should cost more than 90 min of football
UK Champs is a cheaper option
