Donna Fraser rolled back the years as she claimed a superb 200m and 400m double at the European Trials and UK Championships in Sheffield




The 36-year-old took the 200m in 23.48 seconds, while her time of 52.83 for the 400m was just outside the European Championships qualifying standard.
Meanwhile, Mo Farah continued his fine form with victory in the 1500m in a time of three minutes 40.57.
Kelly Sotherton took silver in the shot put, but pulled out of the high jump.
The heptathlete had a slight hip injury and decided to withdraw from the high jump as a precaution.
But the real success story of the day was Fraser's performance as she justified her decision not to retire.
