What an inspirational young lady and to have a chat with Dame Kelly Holmes before she flies out to Paris must've been so exciting for her! Go on Phoebe, run for you and enjoy the experience! :)
Wow ! What a phenomenal achievement , particularly at her young age … and being photogenic as well - all the Sports companies will be lining up for her parents’ signature (as she is not of legal age yet )!
Slightly odd the report didn’t mention we also have the number 1 and number 2 ranked athlete on times in the world (and Phoebe beat the no 2 at trials….)! Never known GB to have such strength in one event at an Olympics. 1-2-3 possibilities….
Good luck to all of the Athletes 👍 And I just want to see them all run to the best of their ability! And this girl is so young with so much potential ( and yrs ahead of her to get stronger& fitter) And I do hope Keely Hodgkinson releases her inner Demon's ( she seems so laid back) and turns on the turbos!
@@russell10 The result of the final could be so unpredictable as there every chance that three of the athletes will want to take the lead, Gill, Hodgkinson and Moraa then try and dictate the pace, especially Moraa. Let's hope there are are no collisions and trips ala Athing Mu!
@@Logans3Run it could well be unpredictable but I don’t think keely will want to lead. And we know Jemma’s plan is just to stick in Keely’s shadow so Gill or Moraa will have to lead I think or it’ll be slow
I expect she's getting offers of athletics scholsrships from major US universities. Being a varsity athlete at a big time program at a US uni is a fantastic experience.
Phoebe Gill a des capacités athlétiques exceptionnelles. Elle a couru en 1'57"86 mais elle était toute seule face au chronomètre, elle n'a pas été poussée par d'autres filles. Je suis sûr qu'elle peut courir beaucoup plus vite car, à la fin de ses courses, elle n'est pas essoufflée, n'est pas fatiguée, sa tête ne bouge pas de droite et de gauche, mais ne bouge pas, son corps reste droit, on dirait qu'elle a encore de la réserve de vitesse. Si elle passe en 56 secondes au premier tour (ce qu'elle a déjà fait) ou bien même en 55 secondes, et quelle arrive à maintenir globalement sa vitesse, elle pourrait peut-être faire un second tour en 57 ou 58 secondes, elle serait alors dans les temps du record du monde de Kratochvilova. Je me trompe peut-être mais je suis sûr qu'elle a le potentiel pour battre ce très vieux record du monde et, si elle le fait aux Jeux olympiques de Paris, à l'âge de 17 ans à peine, ce sera, sans conteste, le plus grand exploit en athlétisme depuis 50 ans. Allez Phoebe !
She looks like a sensational talent, if she can keep training hard then the sky is the limit. I know it is early days but with her height and Jeeley and Afa Moe maybe 1500 is her distance to eventually replace Laura Muir.
Let's hope that she does really well in Paris but we must not forget that the times that she has achieved to date do not put her anywhere near Keely or Jemma. she may 'only' be 2 or 3 seconds slower but that is quite a lot in distance. I would really like to see her get a medal and she may do so but I think that she is more likely to do well in 4 years time
That's about right and level headed post. Hope Phoebe gets to the final. Then if it's a fast 1st lap Moraa did 56 sec at world's then Keely, Jemma and Moraa are most likely ahead of her. If it's a slower first lap 58+ secs then Phoebe has a better chance of a medal as 2nd lap she is very strong 58.88, Moraa 60, Keeley 58.30. However Moraa needs to run fast in the first lap 56 to win, unless she makes a mistake and thinks doing 58 will win, because Keely and maybe others will beat her in the 2nd lap. Anyway see what happens is easier?
@@nicolad8822 Sure. It would be nice if Phoebe could get to the final, she should do, but don't know how tough the semi finals are going to be? If she does she could do well.
You should understand that she hasn't run in a fast race as such, when she run 1:57 it was gun to tape pretty much, she even passed the pacer. She beat Jemma on a fairly windy day when track times were slow. I'm certain in the right race such as the London Diamond league she would be a good two seconds quicker.
@@user-lt1nj7nq4zI understand very well. 1.57 was higher 1.57.86 so 2 seconds off this would be some accomplishment 1.55.86? You need to appreciate that she is still very young, she hasn't got that speed training of Keely, Gemma and Moraa. Don't forget the U18:World Record for her age is 1.57.18. If Phoebe gets to the final 800m and she should do it. She needs to run more eveningly with the first lap around 57.50sec or 58 sec. then she will get her overall best time whatever that will be?
Clearly didn't follow it in actual timeline, I imagine her parents showed her a RU-vid video when she was young and getting into athletics by which time the video would have been perhaps 6-8 years old.
Imagine if other parts of the world combined 4 countries to race under one flag, yet England happily represent themselves in Rugby, Soccer, Cricket, Comm Games and nearly every other sport outside of Olympics. Gotta love Poms (said nobody ever)
She’s not an athlete, she’s a skateboarder. An athlete competes in Athletics, I know Americans use the term more loosely but athlete to me means track and field.

You want Ireland to be put of GB when it suits you but any other time, you hate the rest of UK. But if you want some facts, Ireland isn't part of UK. Ireland have their own team and they compete as Ireland. Northern Ireland athletes actually get a choice, they can either compete for Great Britain & Northern Ireland' or 'Ireland'. So stop talking rubbish.
