    He only ran 30m in the semi and then warmed down. Can he run sub 9.50?

    Ironically I actually don't believe him to be in as good shape as at last years Olympics.....despite his run tonight.....but then I've said that about a fellrunner earlier this year and ended up having to defend my opinion!

    I think his 9.58 was sensational - but I also think it's close to his limit.
    He had a great start and pick up - unusual for him - so I think he practically managed the perfect race.

    He might squeeze out a few more hundredths, but I'd be surprised to see a sub 9:50 from him.

    As for the 200m - a new WR maybe, but sub 19 is a huge ask as it would mean practically maintaining top speed for double the distance.

    Well done Jessica Ennis.

    I'd also like to say a well done to Gerald Phiri - a Zambian 100m runner who got to the semis.
    I first saw him in around 2003 at Pendle in a National Young Athletes fixture - he looked mustard then running around 11 secs - he was U15.
    A Sheffield athlete as well as Jessica Ennis I think.
