"This is the second-best performance of my life after jumping 6.80m in 2012. I had a legal 6.70m last week so had some really consistent performances and very thankful for that. I prefer jumping into a bit of a headwind, so for me, it was perfect conditions for me to jump a world qualifying standard.

"It's not about making the podium next week, it's about one and two. I'm the number one Brit behind Kat who's not competing over long jump next weekend. I just really need to step up my game from here and giving me confidence," said Abigail Ironzuru.
