Joe is quicker in Vienna

Wednesday 1 February 2012

Joe Thomas maintained his good form and improved his indoor 800m time again with 1:47.28 in the Vienna Indoor Classic last night. Joe won his race comfortably but, competing in a separate race at the same venue, Austrian Andreas Rapatz was slightly faster with 1:47.24.

Rapatz' time took him to fourth spot on the latest world indoor rankings with Joe now in fifth.

Also in Vienna were Cardiff's promising 17 year old sprinter Sam Gordon (pictured), Elliot Slade and Zara George.

Sam made it through to the final of the 60m where he recorded a personal best time of 7.01 sec. Elliot and Zara also set personal best indoor times of 1:52.96 (800m) and 24.83 (200m) respectively.
