Outstanding running by @FitzgeraldInnes in Ostrava to break the European u20 3000m record with 8:40.05👋. Some 16 seconds faster than the GB rec set by zola budd five days short of 40 years ago. Still 18, Innes on course for a super career

@RG_Big_Dreamer officially timed at 5.69 at the 50m mark which could be ratified as a European record (unless someone faster today!) . Note however @jasongardener had a 5.61 split in 1999 and @dwainchambers v likely to have been faster
