British Records

Any British Records possibly under threat in London?!

Which ones have been around longer than they should've?!

Any young athletes emerging now that show signs of being possible future British Record holders?!

I think the main one everyone would have thought is greene for the 400h, now though may not be as likely. Maybe the mens long jump also.

Agree. Unfortunate that Dai Greene's getting over that injury and operation - looked a dead cert until news broke. Agree Long Jump is on. Will probably need a British record to guarentee a medal. Can't see bronze being for less than 8.30.

Also, perhaps Bleasdale in the Pole Vault?! If she can get it together! A lot of pressure on young shoulders.

Ennis in the Heptathlon. I think the winner of the Heptathlon will have a score exceeding 7, 000pts [ possibly approaching 7, 100pts ].

Women's 400m?! Is Ohurugu in that kind of shape?! It's possible.

Lots of other possibles records in London 2012:

men's 4 X 400m relay
Okoye in men's discuss
Dry in men's hammer
Grabartz in the men's HJ
Lewis in the men's PV
Porter in women's 100mh
Proctor in women's LJ
women's 4 x 400m relay
Parker in women's 3000st
Hitchon in women's hammer
Sayers in women's javelin

Too many young prospects to mention as far as future record breakers are concerned.

Blooming good list teassoc

From the possible future record holders list - I'm opting for the rather topical and obvious, Gemili in the 100m and 200m
