  1. The Royal Bees have been formally informed of the death of the Queen-in-Chief. The royal beekeeper - in an arcane tradition thought to date back centuries - has informed the hives kept in the grounds of Buckingham Palace and Clarence House of the Queen’s death. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11199259/Royal-beekeeper-informed-Queens-bees-HM-died-King-Charles-new-boss.html
  2. Last globally broadcast big meet of the season is the Boris Hanžeković Memorial from Zagreb on Sunday. Then after that we are into road racing, marathons & cross-country until late January. https://www.youtube.com/c/WorldAthletics/videos
  3. Rugby League also goes ahead. Test cricket restarts tomorrow.
  4. Heard yesterday that the race used 40 specialist motorbike Police because in Britain races are not on TdF-style roads closed & barricaded all day, so that is probably it. Anyway, all levels of professional football are off this weekend in all four leagues.
  5. I think Sunday's stage on the Isle of Wight was scheduled to feature one the Royal Palaces so....the stage in Scotland on Monday actually went through the village of Balmoral where the Queen died.
  6. The Queen never ever told us what to do: she just set an example. Would much rather have that than (for example) the President of Ireland who recently called for government censorship.
  7. And she did in fact frequently repair her own Land Rover! (Based around World War II-era technology)
  8. Tonights UEFA games go ahead - in fact, some were already in the middle of the action. No cricket tomorrow.
  9. I’d be very surprised if any sports take place in the UK much before next weekend, or if Brits competing abroad do not withdraw. Will post news here.
  10. Timetable for next year’s Grand World Championship of Everything Cycling related in and around Glasgow https://www.cyclingworldchamps.com/schedule/ Once again Penny Farthing Nocturnes* are ignored, though. *It does exist; there used to be an annual one in London.
  11. Nor do they ever retire in disgrace. Canada's parole board said on Tuesday that it would review why he had been released early from prison while serving a four-year sentence for several violent crimes. Don't worry, a five year long public enquiry will be held, and strict instructions to improve record-keeping & inter-agency cooperation will be issued!
  12. That better be Tamberi’s wife he gave the flowers to!
  13. On the entire planet, yeah mate just you. And today's events are going to be on a special city centre facility. First six Diamond League wins to be secured on Zurich's Sechselautenplatz | PREVIEWS | World Athletics
  14. Final of the DL season is in Zurich, over two days. Here's the timetable - mostly field events tomorrow, with two 5000m races, then a more normal programme on Thursday. Money & auto-Qs for Budapest next year are on offer. Disciplines 2022 (diamondleague.com)
  15. This will never grow stale. Not often do prophecies come true so quickly.
  16. Nothing happens for 4h40m, then a day’s worth of drama compressed into 3 minutes. Roglić attacks, Evenepoel punctures, Roglić crashes & looks really bad. Has staggered across the line but looks shell-shocked
  17. As we saw with the history of BLM, it’s very easy to talk in wonderful slogans of justice & equality and to be a cynical rip-off merchant interested only on your own enrichment.
  18. Well, turned out to be not such a boring day after all.
  19. Two good races today at the FourcadeFest, well worth watching, even if the course is flatter than Dutch roadkill.
  20. Big NR & win for Ciara Mageean in the 1500m.
  21. Actually….only about a year. He is not Ed Moses, he sometimes has bad days.
  22. Camacho Quinn takes one of the old-school MRs off the books - Donkova .
  23. Lordy, Obiena beats Duplantis in Brussels.
  24. Curling season back underway on YT - WCT TV has the Adelboden International & Curling Canada also has a U-25 meet.
  25. Eurovisionsports.tv has the Martin Fourcade event from Annency tomorrow. Crowds last year were huge.
