1. Greg Rutherford:

   We have tried to get it 100 percent ready in time. Sadly I have made it worse on the first landing and I am currently unable to move my neck, the doctor thinks it is a bad whiplash but it won't affect my Double Olympic bid. I am positive the British Athletics medical staff will be able to fix it over the next week.

2. The Australian:

   It has been tricky, definitely. We suffered a bit this time last year but we’re probably having a few more issues this year which I guess weren’t expected, it’s like that for now and we’ve got to try and sort it out. A little bit of whiplash here and there but it’s alright.

3. Tom Painter:

   The climate models had already been predicting what it is that we are seeing now, which is this hydroclimate whiplash where we’re going from really dry years to really wet years, that means we could very well have a dry year next year. No one really knows.
