As ever we have all enjoyed the Olympics. What is interesting this time is how many of the athletes Rowan trained or raced with are now featuring in events. Morgan Lake, who won the high jump when Rowan came fourth in a national competition in Sheffield, made in into the final of the Olympic high jump for GB only to have to pull out with an injured foot. Jess Judd who ran in the final of the 10K for GB today, used to train at York Athletics Club, where Rowan trained too. Katerina Johnson Thompson was competing at an event where Rowan was also competing (in a different age group). Jess Ennis was competing at Cudworth in the Yorkshire Championships when Rowan won her age group at the high jump, to be told that no one had jumped that high at that age since Jess. Sydney McLaughlin who won the womens 400m hurdles for the US, competed at the same nationals in the US as Rowan did, when we saw her at Greensboro, North Carolina. And Rowan found out that one of the boys who she did some mountain bike training with at Baildon near Bradford, was Tom Pidcock who won the Mountain Bike gold medal.
