    It is still slow. It is going to be slower on the second lap by the looks of it...

    A huge roar as Georgia Hunter Bell is introduced to crowd.

    An equally big cheer as Ireland's Sarah Healy's name is announced. The Irish crowd have been brilliant in Birmingham this week.

    Georgia Hunter Bell's first year back in the sport was in 2024. We called it the comeback season.

    Last season we said what is this about? It was about that consistency that she is actually here.

    This year we said domination. If she can win four major championships and win four golds it would be phenomenal.

    Georgia Hunter Bell is a quieter personality, but she lets the racing do the talking out there. She is definitely appreciated by the team and her rivals.

    Georgia Hunter Bell will want to upgrade the European silver that she won in Rome two years ago, when she lost to Ireland's Ciara Mageean.

    Mageean isn't competing in Birmingham as she continues to undergo chemotherapy treatment for cancer following her diagnosis in 2015.

    Agathe Guillemot of France, who took bronze in 2024, is likely to be Hunter Bell's biggest challenger for gold this evening.

    You can see the fire in Jazmin Sawyers' face every time she lines up on that runway.

    With Jaz, she has always had such beautiful jumping technique.
