Don’t forget SFP only flew to the UK on Friday. Richardson has already spent more than a week in Europe. SFP will feel jetlagged and tired. In reality it doesn’t matter who wins tonight (it could even be Asher-Smith). What matters is who wins at the Olympics. (Obviously I am hoping SFP wins tonight too).
