Stacked fields, for what is traditional one of the hottest meets of the year. Our snap preview is below:
Athletics Australia have filled the quotas and picked a full team for the fast appraoching Tokyo Olympics.
Steeplechaser Matthew Clarke, is off to his first Olympics.
Clarke dropped a bomb a few weeks ago when he managed a 10 second PB to get within 0.62 seconds of the Olympic Qualifying time of 8:22.00. Clarke clocked 8.22.62 in Townsville, oh so close to the Olympic standard.
Giles has sent a message to his Olympic competitors, that he is in form, and ready to challenge for a medal at the fast-approaching Tokyo Games. Giles has smashed an in-form Clayton Murphy, who is red hot after winning the U.S. Track and Field Olympic trials. Many Americans have been assuming Murphy would move into favourite consideration for Tokyo. But he finished 3rd in Hungry, outclassed by two Olympic threats from the UK, Elliot Giles, and Jamie Webb.
Kiwi miler Nick Willis, is off to his fifth Olympic Games at 38-years-of-age. Willis is New Zealand's only two-time Olympic medalist in the 1500m; he won the silver medal at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, and bronze at the 2016 Olympics in Rio De Janeiro. He is also the 2006 Commonwealth Games 1500m champion.
Nicola McDermott has broken her own Australian record (previously 2.00m), clearing 2.01metres at the Stockholm Diamond League. The jump confirms Nicola as a serious medal contender for the fast approaching Tokyo Olympics.
