“That was absolutely brilliant from my point of view. I felt really good. There are a few things I’ve got to iron out but that’s the best opening I’ve had to an indoor season ever and maybe the best opening to a season at all.
“Obviously I always want to win and I’m very disappointed not to win but I’ve got to be serious with these things. I came back from a massive injury last year which I was worried was going to affect the rest of my career and I’ve managed to jump three jumps better than any British athlete has done this year. I’ve got to be happy to start my season like that.”

Sainsbury's Indoor Grand Prix 2014
In what is widely regarded as the best indoor meet in the world, the Sainsbury's Indoor Grand Prix will welcome some of the best athletes in the world to Birmingham’s National Indoor Arena on Saturday 15 February 2014. Last year, a sell-out crowd watched double Olympic and world champion Mo Farah cruise to victory in the 3000m, while Perri Shakes-Drayton, Genzebe Dibaba, Ivan Ukhov, Holly Bleasdale and sprint queens Carmelita Jeter and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce all starred under the lights in Birmingham.
This year there was a flurry of PBs and SBs and a fantastic World record in the last event of the day.....
