Jo Pavey battled back from the brink in her 10,000 metres final at the European Championships in Amsterdam to put herself firmly in the frame for Olympic selection.The 42-year-old mother of two, who was down in 11th at one stage at the Olympic Stadium, dug in over the final two laps to move through the field as her rivals faded and she came home in fifth place in 31 minutes 34.61 seconds.It meant Pavey surrendered the title she memorably won two years ago, with Yasemin Can winning gold, but of greater importance was the fact her time was inside the Olympic qualifying standard.Indeed, it was more than 47 seconds quicker than her gold medal-winning run in Zurich, the fastest time by a Briton this year and, perhaps crucially, more than 37 seconds quicker than her rival for the third and final spot on the team for Rio, Kate Avery, has run in 2016.Pavey would appear to be in the box seat to make history by becoming the first British track athlete to compete in five Olympics, but 24-year-old Averys status as a potential star of the future, even though she opted not to compete in Amsterdam, could count in her favour.Whatever news the selection announcement on July 13 brings, though, the fact that Pavey is right back in contention is a minor miracle.She has been hampered by a chest infection which ruined her chances of gaining automatic selection at Mays trials, while last month she travelled to a 10,000m race in Boston only to have it cancelled, meaning she had to race over 5,000m instead.Paveys roommate in Amsterdam, Jess Andrews, 19 years Paveys junior and whose spot in Rio is already secure, finished seventh in 31mins 38.02secs.Dina Asher-Smith lived up to her billing as favourite for 200m gold by storming into the final in a seasons best 22.57s.The 20-year-old, bidding to land her first major senior title in the Dutch capital, looked to have plenty left in the tank as she cruised through the semifinals as the joint fastest qualifier.The history student, who does not have to contend with Hollands Dafne Schippers after the world champion opted to race only over 100m in front of her home crowd, ran a superb bend and was already well in front heading into the straight as she took 0.15s off her previous best this year.Greg Rutherford was pleased to blow away the cobwebs as he booked his place in the long jump final in his first competition for a month.The defending champion was relieved to discover the severe inner ear condition he sustained as a result of the whiplash injury he suffered last time out at the Birmingham Diamond League, which has caused him to lose hearing in his left ear, did not appear to affect his jumping.The 29-year-olds first-round leap of 7.93m was enough to book his place in Thursdays final. He followed it with two fouls, as swirling winds inside the stadium made controlling the run-up difficult, to qualify in eighth place.Elsewhere, Christine Ohuruogu in the womens 400m, Martyn Rooney in the mens 400m and Richard Kilty in the 100m all breezed through the opening rounds of their respective events.
