World class run from Joe

Saturday 28 January 2012

Cardiff's Joe Thomas produced his best ever indoor performance to win the 800m at today's international match at the Kelvin Hall, Glasgow.


Running in the Great Britain vest, Joe took maximum points for his team with a time of 1:47.35, the second fastest time in the world so far this year.


BBC commentator Steve Cram described Joe's run as a quality performance.


Interviewed after the race, Joe was delighted with his performance, following his 1:47.82 in the Welsh Indoor Championships the week before.

He said  "I felt really good and decided to go from the bell. It is a great confidence booster before the World Indoor Championships and I am using the indoor season to provide a strong base for the outdoor Olympic season".

Joe, coached by Arwyn Davies, is obviously benefiting from his winter preparation and is looking a much improved runner. This augurs well for a successful outdoor campaign.
