So there you have it...the 2012 European Championships are over & I am currently sat in a rather spaced out state, in the team hotel overlooking the port of Helsinki. It has been a whirlwind of a week, that started with a mixed bag of athletes, hopping on a plane over to...

It's been non-stop since arriving here in Rome with the GB 4 x 400m & 4 x 100m men's relay teams on Wednesday. In addition to the two squads competing here, there were another 16 GB athletes that were invited to participate by the Diamond League for last night's event at the...
