for anyone into athletics and middle distance running - this is quite brilliant @Jason_AW - I was lucky enough to get a view from the track for some of these - always a significant distance behind - @sebcoe - a quite remarkable runner !

Shame to see such a sparse crowd at European Athletics.
Just checked ticket prices. Category A for Friday night when it’s big W800m is £150.
That’s mad

Television coverage of the #CommonwealthGames in the UK may remain behind a pay-wall even after @Glasgow_2026, despite the fact the event has practically zero visibility following a deal by @thecgf to award the rights to @tntsports instead of @BBCSport.

This is worth a read. I think @usatf is doing a good job on this front. At #USATFOutdoors their content team was at the far end of the mixed zone, separate and after the journalists.
I recall competing with a "content guy" from #Birmingham2026 at #WorldIndoors and it was bad...
Governing bodies aren't just running events anymore. They're running the news about their own events too — and slowly squeezing out the journalists meant to hold them to account.

The only "cheating" in elections Trump and MAGA ever complain about are the elections they lose, even in the same places with the same processes in place. Their greater goal is to diminish trust in the system to justify crackdowns.

Another British-born marathon runner called Hicks making his mark after moving to the USA. Thomas Hicks was born in Birmingham 150 years ago before emigrating and winning the Olympic marathon at St. Louis in 1904, having finished second in Boston earlier in the year. Could history repeat itself with Charles Hicks at LA28?

Lots of talk about the ‘new’ two turn stagger, but let’s not forget that @sebcoe 1:44.91i WR set in 1983, was with a two turn stagger.

How higher jumper Joel Clarke-Khan came back from the brink of retirement.
After winning the UK indoor title in Birmingham, the 26-year-old credits his fiancée Molly Caudery with helping to keep him in the sport.

What will athletics look like in the 22nd century?
As AW’s 80th birthday year draws to a close, we go 'back to the future' and ask what the sport might look like in another 80 years’ time.
