I had never worn Olympic-branded underwear until today

Britain had never won multiple gold medals at the Winter Olympics until today

Makes you think…

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, if you’re not watching the Olympics on multiple screens, you’re no watching the Olympics at all #MilanoCortina2026

I appreciate one of said stories is due to the unexpected and tragic death of Ricky Hatton, but the rest are all scheduled events that WA have chosen to directly compete against

I’m not sure about having the World Athletics Championships in September because of the risk of getting overshadowed by other sports.

Case in point, there are six stories before any mention of it on BBC Sport right now

Dear Nike, Adidas and whoever else may manufacture athletics kits for Britain,

Please make a kit that looks like a British kit.

That is all.

Currently at Heathrow Terminal 3, so guess which Eurovision song is stuck in my head

Just as with infrastructure, this country can’t deliver anything on time

Bus driver on a service I’ve never been on before: Instead of taking our normal route, we will be going right, then going straight, then left, then right again.

This is why I normally take the train

2:01.23 for Anna Hall in the 800m in Götzis- a World Heptathlon Best taking her to 7032 points, tied with Carolina Klüft on the all-time list

So many athletics meetings could learn from Götzis in how to hold races in quick succession

It’s just hit me that spectators wanting a coffee at next year’s Winter Olympics will have no choice other than Costa.

I’m sure that’ll go down well in Italy

Seeing them struggle with the adhesive on the bibs at GST shows that that’s not the solution. I cannot think of a single drawback to using velcro #NotSponsored

Genuine question: why don’t they just use velcro to fasten the athletes’ bibs to their vests?

I’m glad they’ve added more VTs to the GST coverage today so you can get to know the athletes. The problem is that they provide no context for the casual viewer as to what to expect in the race

This explainer video for Grand Slam Track is hilariously awful. Never have I ever seen a voiceover so monotone or rushed

I paid $12 this afternoon to watch the final two days of the men’s curling world championships, only to realise I could’ve been watching it on TNT Sports all along 😭
