  1. Would you believe......Southern Hemisphere outdoor season starts tomorrow! Live meet from here https://m.youtube.com/@coparaguay/streams
  2. 200m / 400m runner Jodie Williams. Had a great record at the Age Group level but never quite got the big solo wins as an adult. Relay bronze in Paris was her finest moment. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/athletics/articles/ckgl7gwvj8go
  3. pizza makers continue to innovate, leaving Old Europe in the dust. First pineapple, now they solve the eternal pepperoni distribution problem. Town goes viral for its outrageous way of topping pizza with pepperoni: 'This is genius' | Daily Mail Online
  4. World Cup III starts tomorrow, this time we reach Singapore on the Asian Tour. Sessions at 01:30 and 10:30.
  5. Tour de France 2025 route revealed. As usual the organisers trying to set up potential battle grounds which probably won't be. Tour de France 2025 routes revealed with brutal Pyrenean treble set to stage Pogacar-Vingegaard rivalry
  6. Maybe Nicola Roche Silveira who has had a couple of top 10s in Skeleton. https://www.ibsf.org/en/athlete/264264/silveira-nicole-rocha?cHash=f81f683436570c8cc11572ee7fddaf27
  7. Oh well, will have a bit longer to learn the Wilhelmus.
  8. Dreamt of one day skiing when playing drums in a samba band in the favela and watching the Olympics on his grandfather's old black and white TV.
  9. More track action this weekend with some big names in action at the London 3 Day. Day 1 was yesterday, but you can catch up - live streaming via YT at the link. London 3 Day | October 2024
  10. Bit of very bad news for British Cycling fans - ITV loses rights to the Tour de France after next year. OK, most hardcore fans won't affected, but there was definitely a "Wimbeldon" one event a year fanbase. ITV always tied in various other events like the BRitish Champs as well, so it's a loss. https://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/broadcasting/wbd-ties-up-exclusive-tour-de-france-rights/5198514.article#:~:text=Warner Bros. Discovery will become,races and highlights on ITV4.
  11. Pre-season starting with National races. https://www.ibsf.org/en/news/detail/olympic-and-world-champion-grotheer-wins-german-skeleton-championship-for-the-first-time
  12. There's discussions on the Short Track Forum about broadcast rights. Came across this page a few days ago when I was looking into biathlon news. Seemingly there's going to be a mess with Alpine rights in with races going onto the expensive pay TV service Viaplay. Was looking on another forum and a Norwegian guy was saying he couldn't see anything for this weekend.....

  13. Everything worked perfectly for about 20 years and now it's all a mess. Same thing happened with biathlon a couple of seasons back.
  14. Just got to pass the language test now, so she'll be eligible by about 2050.
  15. British Shot Putter Geoff Capes. Was most active in the 70s and 80s, when shot putting was in a very drug-enhanced era, so never won the big prizes, but was pretty much a national hero in Britain from his appearances in reality tv shows as well as his athletics career.

  16. Tour moves on to Incheon, for the weekend. First heats in the early hours of tomorrow morning, at 01:30 and 11:30 in British Planetary Time. Eurovision Sport | Aquatics
  17. And more on that 9 Major sports left out as 2026 Commonwealth Games scaled down in Glasgow
  18. It was something of the kind. Rather like Kristian Bromley who went from studying ice sliding theoretically as a PhD student to being skeleton World Champion.
  19. Got our first Gold Medal of the season - Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson winning the Free Dance at Skate America last weekend. Fear/Gibson (GBR) clinch Ice Dance gold at Skate America - International Skating Union (isu.org)
  20. Awards time! Here's the World Athletics nominations for Track Runner of the year. Nominees announced for Track Athlete of the Year 2024 | World Athletics And for Field Event athlete of the year, although both of these choices are pretty bloody obvious. High demand for yellow and blue flowers, put it that way. Nominees announced for Field Athlete of the Year 2024 | World Athletics
  21. Yep, confirmed. We have Marcelletje for , Lindsay Vonn and Lucas Pinheiro Braathen for . However, Vonn and Hirscher will be wild cards, so starting down with the Chileans and the Iranians in the first leg. Snow conditions are good though. Vonn, Hirscher & Braathen Returning To Racing At World Cup Opening - InTheSnow
  22. Happened to the rock guitarist Wilko Johnson. He was also given a short time to live but survived for nine years.
