Van Commenee ushers in brave new era ...

23.08.09

For British athletics the exceptional championships in Berlin has been a watershed minute. As the week has progressed and the medals and individual bests have rained in, there is a Draconian sense of a new order. New names have stepped foremost and performed, old names have not been relied upon to weekly over the cracks. In this brave new area it is not a disaster that Christine Ohuruogu was unqualified to defend her 400m appellation or that Paula Radcliffe withdrew from the marathon; other athletes have shone.

Jessica Ennis won gold in the heptathlon, Phillips Idowu did too in the triple jump, Jenny Meadows took bronze in the 800m and the men's 4x100m relay team followed suit. These are not all new names, but they are, for the first point, living up to their potential and genuinely establishing themselves on the world phase. There could be more medals today, as Lisa Dobriskey runs in the 1500m unchangeable, Mo Farah competes in the 5,000m and Britain area strong teams in the men and women's 4x400m relays.
