OXFORD City race-walker Gemma Bridge secured qualification for this summer’s IAAF World Championships in London when winning the women’s 20km trials in Leeds.

She had already obtained the standard of 1hr 36mins and needed to finish in the top two at Roundhay Park.

Bridge won in style, setting the second fastest time by a British athlete over 20km with 1.32.33.

She told British Athletics: “I am not sure where that performance came from.

“To win against this field is incredible and I am happy to secure my selection for London.

“Getting a PB was the icing on the cake, it is going to be one awesome summer.”

She competes at the British Team Trials this weekend in a bid also to clinch selection in the 5,000m walk.

HANNAH England has been elected to the newly formed Athletics Commission.

The commission’s purpose is to ensure athletes’ voices are heard by UK Athletics’ Performance Oversight Committee and the UKA Board.

England, 30, is among the first nine members, which includes 400m hurdler Dai Greene.
