What an inspirational young lady and to have a chat with Dame Kelly Holmes before she flies out to Paris must've been so exciting for her! Go on Phoebe, run for you and enjoy the experience! :)
Slightly odd the report didn’t mention we also have the number 1 and number 2 ranked athlete on times in the world (and Phoebe beat the no 2 at trials….)! Never known GB to have such strength in one event at an Olympics. 1-2-3 possibilities….
Good luck to all of the Athletes 👍 And I just want to see them all run to the best of their ability! And this girl is so young with so much potential ( and yrs ahead of her to get stronger& fitter) And I do hope Keely Hodgkinson releases her inner Demon's ( she seems so laid back) and turns on the turbos!
@@russell10 The result of the final could be so unpredictable as there every chance that three of the athletes will want to take the lead, Gill, Hodgkinson and Moraa then try and dictate the pace, especially Moraa. Let's hope there are are no collisions and trips ala Athing Mu!
@@Logans3Run it could well be unpredictable but I don’t think keely will want to lead. And we know Jemma’s plan is just to stick in Keely’s shadow so Gill or Moraa will have to lead I think or it’ll be slow
Wow ! What a phenomenal achievement , particularly at her young age … and being photogenic as well - all the Sports companies will be lining up for her parents’ signature (as she is not of legal age yet )!
I expect she's getting offers of athletics scholsrships from major US universities. Being a varsity athlete at a big time program at a US uni is a fantastic experience.
Phoebe Gill a des capacités athlétiques exceptionnelles. Elle a couru en 1'57"86 mais elle était toute seule face au chronomètre, elle n'a pas été poussée par d'autres filles. Je suis sûr qu'elle peut courir beaucoup plus vite car, à la fin de ses courses, elle n'est pas essoufflée, n'est pas fatiguée, sa tête ne bouge pas de droite et de gauche, mais ne bouge pas, son corps reste droit, on dirait qu'elle a encore de la réserve de vitesse. Si elle passe en 56 secondes au premier tour (ce qu'elle a déjà fait) ou bien même en 55 secondes, et quelle arrive à maintenir globalement sa vitesse, elle pourrait peut-être faire un second tour en 57 ou 58 secondes, elle serait alors dans les temps du record du monde de Kratochvilova. Je me trompe peut-être mais je suis sûr qu'elle a le potentiel pour battre ce très vieux record du monde et, si elle le fait aux Jeux olympiques de Paris, à l'âge de 17 ans à peine, ce sera, sans conteste, le plus grand exploit en athlétisme depuis 50 ans. Allez Phoebe !
Let's hope that she does really well in Paris but we must not forget that the times that she has achieved to date do not put her anywhere near Keely or Jemma. she may 'only' be 2 or 3 seconds slower but that is quite a lot in distance. I would really like to see her get a medal and she may do so but I think that she is more likely to do well in 4 years time
That's about right and level headed post. Hope Phoebe gets to the final. Then if it's a fast 1st lap Moraa did 56 sec at world's then Keely, Jemma and Moraa are most likely ahead of her. If it's a slower first lap 58+ secs then Phoebe has a better chance of a medal as 2nd lap she is very strong 58.88, Moraa 60, Keeley 58.30. However Moraa needs to run fast in the first lap 56 to win, unless she makes a mistake and thinks doing 58 will win, because Keely and maybe others will beat her in the 2nd lap. Anyway see what happens is easier?
@@nicolad8822 Sure. It would be nice if Phoebe could get to the final, she should do, but don't know how tough the semi finals are going to be? If she does she could do well.
You should understand that she hasn't run in a fast race as such, when she run 1:57 it was gun to tape pretty much, she even passed the pacer. She beat Jemma on a fairly windy day when track times were slow. I'm certain in the right race such as the London Diamond league she would be a good two seconds quicker.
@@user-lt1nj7nq4zI understand very well. 1.57 was higher 1.57.86 so 2 seconds off this would be some accomplishment 1.55.86? You need to appreciate that she is still very young, she hasn't got that speed training of Keely, Gemma and Moraa. Don't forget the U18:World Record for her age is 1.57.18. If Phoebe gets to the final 800m and she should do it. She needs to run more eveningly with the first lap around 57.50sec or 58 sec. then she will get her overall best time whatever that will be?
She looks like a sensational talent, if she can keep training hard then the sky is the limit. I know it is early days but with her height and Jeeley and Afa Moe maybe 1500 is her distance to eventually replace Laura Muir.
Clearly didn't follow it in actual timeline, I imagine her parents showed her a RUclips video when she was young and getting into athletics by which time the video would have been perhaps 6-8 years old.
Imagine if other parts of the world combined 4 countries to race under one flag, yet England happily represent themselves in Rugby, Soccer, Cricket, Comm Games and nearly every other sport outside of Olympics. Gotta love Poms (said nobody ever)
She’s not an athlete, she’s a skateboarder. An athlete competes in Athletics, I know Americans use the term more loosely but athlete to me means track and field.

You want Ireland to be put of GB when it suits you but any other time, you hate the rest of UK. But if you want some facts, Ireland isn't part of UK. Ireland have their own team and they compete as Ireland. Northern Ireland athletes actually get a choice, they can either compete for Great Britain & Northern Ireland' or 'Ireland'. So stop talking rubbish.

Her parents can be incredibly proud, not only is their daughter a super talented athlete she also sounds very polite and well spoken.
This is the type of girl who should be a role model of other young girls growing up. Not the 'reality tv' brainless wonders
What an inspirational young lady and to have a chat with Dame Kelly Holmes before she flies out to Paris must've been so exciting for her! Go on Phoebe, run for you and enjoy the experience! :)
She’s made a lot of fans and rightfully so. Best of luck to her
OMG That Track brings back memories! Worked there for 15 years back in the 90's and was an athlete and coach at the same club too. Very proud 🥰
Brilliant fearless and full of life
Goodluck Phoebe Gill at the Paris Olympics!
Youth must be served. Best wishes for your time in the sun.

Yep, half the clicks were because of her photo
Anybody else think that Kelly, who is now 54, is beautiful and looks barely 40?
Nah. She looks great but she looks her age. Doing it gracefully rather than stretched and pumped
@@richardpollitt462 That was unnecessarily ungenerous. Feel better now?
@@david2804me lol that was supposed to be a complement to how she’s grown gracefully and is attractive. You can look your age and still look good. :)
Great advice from Dame Kelly😊

Future looking very bright for UK women's middle distance running. Amazing time for so young

Great story. It’s nice to see Holmes visit with her.
Fantastic ❤️
What say ? Great talent, serious.

I thought they were going to say "Sally Gunnell", now I feel too old.
Brilliant athlete , that needs to inspire herself to be great, not others.
She wasn't even born when Kelly won that gold...
Wo , amazing. Can't wait 🇬🇧🥇🥈🥉🏊♂️🤺🤼♂️🏋️♀️🚴♂️🧗♂️🥊🏓🥋🤸♀️🏃♂️
Can't imaginewhattheOly picsis going to looklikewith Phoebe inthr race. A complete contract to Moraa
She wasn’t born in the Athens olympics so not sure how she followed her journey then but congrats to her

Crazy
17 and female - perfect fodder for the woke ITV!
After Sunak England and the UK need a feel good factor

One cnut has been replaced by another.
That "feel good factor" will only resurfaced when they're all 6 ft 👇
Who would imagine a a white male presenter?
Team GB will finish behind with Team USA! But Great Britian athletes are also very well at this games! 🔵🔴
Would be cool to watch but I'm skipping the blood Olympics.
That sounds like an interesting event

She doesn’t do athletics 💀
She's not in the Atletic completions as the footballers, tennis players and rugby players are not!
@@lizacana2898You need to look at the Olympic definition and programme headings!
How is she team gb youngest athlete when sky brown is only 16
Sky Brown is not competing in the Athletics competition!
In the UK, athletics refers to what North America calls track and field.
I put my money in the African runners.
In many middle distance races but not this one.
Team UK. Stop being racist against ireland
Team GB is England,Scotland,Wales and Northern Ireland Ireland is not in Great Britain.
Lad, stap chatting shite.
@@grassman9551 so if Ireland is NOT GB, why call it team GB? It is team uk

It’s officially Team GB and Northern Ireland if that’s what you are getting at.
