  1. 2) I followed up the original article with a piece on 21 year old discus thrower, Anna Gavigan

    Ireland has struggled to produce world class athletes in field events. Anna is knocking at the door and sadly her attempt to qualify for the European Champs got stymied by a poor vetting process- my view

    “El Guerrouj’s 3:26.00 remains the mark to catch, and #JoshKerr isn’t exactly coming from nowhere. #JoshKerr split 3:27.70 through 1500 meters en route to his mile #worldrecord on Saturday, which is the seventh-fastest time in history”

    Some #worldrecords look vulnerable and are sometimes described as 'soft'. The men's #mile #worldrecord has never been one of them. For more than a quarter of a century it has stood like a block of granite” athleticsweekly.com/news/opini

  15. Has anyone ever done, officially or not, a reverse relay race? So, 4 x 100m (or 400m) but when you hand over the baton your teammate is going the opposite way. The relay recipients get the same ‘run up’ they’d get in the regular race, just the other way.

    Is this a thing? If not, what’s stopping it being a thing? Surely not chaos, it sounds like FUN.
