Women’s Rising Star
Dina Asher-Smith is at university in London where she is studying history, which is pretty apt considering the summer she has had.
The 19-year-old put her marker down as arguably the best young sprinter in the world as she twice broke the British 100m senior record and then smashed the 200m record that had stood for 31 years.
The history student became the history maker.
Asher-Smith's amazing summer came on the back of her winning silver with a superb run and another national record of 7.08 behind Dutch star Dafne Schippers (7.05) in the 60m at the European Athletics Indoor Championships in Prague in March.
She took that form outdoors as in May, again as Schippers won (10.94), Asher-Smith lowered the national 100m mark to 11.02 from 11.05 and then in July in London, became the first British woman to dip under 11 seconds with 10.99.
She opted for the 200m for Beijing and as she finished fifth, her time of 22.07 beat the 22.10 which Kathy Cook had run at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 1984.
She is the quickest teenager in the world.
French hammer thrower Alexandra Tavernier entered the summer with a personal best of 71.17m and she ended it by extending that distance to 74.39m along with winning bronze at the IAAF World Championships and being European Under-23 champion.
It was an amazing few months for the 21-year-old Annecy-born athlete who is surely destined for greater things such is the impact she is making at this stage of her career.
A world junior champion in 2012 and sixth at the European Athletics Championships in Zurich last summer, she arrived in Tallinn for the European Under-23 Championships as the rock-solid favourite.
And if her rivals thought there might be a slip along the way, that possibility was discounted when she qualified for the final with her first throw of 72.98m - the only athlete who needed one go to make it through - before winning gold with 72.50m.
That came in the last round of the final, though her opening effort of 71.68m would still have been enough to beat Belarusian silver-medallist Alena Sobaleva (71.20m).
Tavernier then headed to Beijing where, once more, she made an impact in the first round of qualifying, breaking her personal best to reach that 74.39m - only world record-holder Anita Wlodarczyk (75.01m) went further.
And come the final, she showed she could mix it with the best with 74.02m - again from her opening go - as Polish star Wlodarczyk (80.85m) won gold and China’s Zhang Wenxiu (76.33m) took silver.
Men’s Rising Star
The European Athletics Junior Championships in Eskilstuna in July proved a glorious time for Azerbaijan triple jumper Nazim Babayev and Hungarian hammer thrower Bence Halász.
Babayev, 17, did not just win the title in Sweden but broke a championship record that had lasted nearly 30 years.
In the second round of the competition, Babayev leaped to 17.04m, a distance that replaced the 16.93m which East Germany's Volker Mai had jumped on August 25 1985.
It was a stunning effort, and showed just what a superb talent this teenager is.
He had began the event with a triple jump best of 16.61m and ended as the talk of this last day of the championships, with Italy’s Tobia Bocchi finishing second (16.51m) and Pavlo Beznits, of the Ukraine, in third (16.10m).
Babayev had arrived in Eskilstuna already a national hero because a few weeks earlier he had won gold with 16.38m when his country staged the first European Games in Baku.
Halász was also celebrating being a championship record-holder after his superb display at the European Juniors - just a few weeks before his 18th birthday.
His win came in an outdoor season where in May he had broken his personal best with the 6kg device as he threw 79.86m in Halle to beat his old mark by 4.19m.
He had to be close to his best to take the title in Eskilstuna as he won with 79.60m, just 55 centimetres ahead of Spain’s Miguel Alberto Blanco.
And it was just as well that he reached that distance in round five because though he had led with 77.81m from his first effort, Blanco came back with his best with his final throw.
Halász's mark broke the championship record of 79.54m which Ukraine's Andriy Martynyuk had set in Novi Sad in 2009 and his win shows the strength of the hammer production line in Hungary as Halász is following the lead set by Krisztian Pars, the Olympic and double European champion.
