Loughborough International - May 2007

Loughborough is a great location to watch top quality athletics and get close to the action. This International was no exception and featured some of the top UK 'names'.

Lisa Dobriskey needs no introduction. Always smiling and she stayed for ages signing autographs for a mass of young admirers. I was trying a capture her hair in full flow during the 3,000 metre race which she won by a huge distance....














Sprints make for good action shots but it all happens so quickly. Here you will find supreme effort! Capturing the moment of the gun or that dip at the line requires quick reflexes, a fast shutter speed and burst of pictures.......












Two of our top sprinters: Mark Lewis-Francis and Joice Maduaka winding down, followed by the up and coming Jessica Ennis and an unknown 'fashion statement.












The 'jumps' are always full of emotion. The agony of a failed pole vaulter.....








Stephanie Pywell who won the Womens high jump; just willing that bar to stay on and then, well she can't quite believe it!!
