Reekie has the ideal build for middle distance - tall but not too tall, slender but with leg strength, well-proportioned too. She's also in great shape.
Vanderelst ran the second half of the race mostly in lane 2 or outside lane 1. She could have run a shorter distance and kept up with Reekie. Nice race!
She's gonna have to cut her PB by several seconds to make an impact on the world stage: Purrier just ran 3:58 something and who knows what Hassan is capable of!
Yer I would agree with that,especially as fellow Brit Keeley Hodgkinson ran the third fastest time by a Brit ever 7 seconds quicker than Reekies 800m time here in the diamond league meeting in Stockholm and still only finished 4th.
