Jumps Fest, Birmingham

Julie Hollman seems to be in great form just one week ahead of her appearance in the European Cup Combined Events Super League; she won the long jump with ease.

Having won the high jump with 2.25m, equalling his outdoor best, Samson Oni was unlucky to fail narrowly at the World Championships entry standard of 2.30m. He had competed in Denmark the previous day and said, "It’s all part of my preparation to jump twice in two days, hopefully, in Osaka."

There was a move to take the pole vault indoors but Joe Ive was adamant that it must take part in the rain. "Will they hold it indoors if it's raining in Hungary at the European U23 Champs? I don't think so." His winning 5.15m in these conditions, where some vaulters were having difficulty holding onto their poles, was good ... but he went on to make a seriously close attempt at 5.35m.

Men. LJ: 2A A Phillips 7.05/-0.3. HJ: 1A S Oni 2.25. PV: 1 J Ive 5.15.
