The NFL are pushing had to develop flag football in Australia in hopes of getting it included in 2032. I hope they fail tbh. Single gender sports fail the gender equality requirement so netball is out unless they can rapidly fix their gender problem. World Netball not so long ago was refusing utterly to sanction men's international netball or even support the growth of men's netball so they kind of sabotaged themselves and are only changing courses out of self interest because Brisbane was awarded the Olympics. It doesn't even make sense to propose Aussie rules given how poor the participation is outside of Australia.

And another one bites the dust. Kenyan runner Emmaculate Anyango given 6-year doping ban

Could the exemption for clubs funded by the military help them? Or are they more involved in the military? See this article posted by SwimSwam today.

Italian media reporting that Thomas Ceccon will train with Boxall at St Peters Western next year. https://www.oasport.it/2024/11/thomas-ceccon-si-allenera-in-australia-nel-2025-sara-seguito-da-un-tecnico-eccentrico/

Gout Gout started the new season with a bang. Doesn't turn 17 until the end of December so there's still a chance he can get down to Bolt's age record of 20.13

Quite an impressive World Cup series with numerous world records. Sets the stage for what could be the fastest short course worlds in history even with Australia sending a half-assed team.

Anyone know when Sifan Hassan's next marathon will be?

Now that the election has passed I think they'll go for a new stadium in Victoria Park. They were only being non-committal about their plans because building a new stadium in Brisbane is a vote loser in the northern part of the state. Rebuilding the Gabba just has too many problems including making AFL and cricket homeless during the rebuild.

Now that the election has been won by the LNP that abominable plan to host athletics at QSAC is dead and buried.

Their database is too poor for them to be able to accurately do this.

Works fine for me with adblocking (Firefox + uBlock Origin).

On-screen graphics and commentary for finals. Hope it doesn't revert back again tomorrow.

Eyerollingly ridiculous performance.

Does this mean we might see Kolesnikov and Chikunova applying for neutrality?

I thought they already did? Efimova tried to qualify for Paris and Evgenii Somov competed in Paris.

Kaylee back breaking WRs at random meets again. Okay maybe short court nationals isn't too random.

49.11 for McLaughlin. Pretty underwhelming after all the hype.

Seems to me SML wouldn't be getting this special treatment if she were from another country.

Just realised Torrie Lewis set a NR in the 100 in January and was still able to get up and go a PB in the 200 in Lima. Impressive management of her season.

Some were even competing at a high level already in January. Hollingsworth and Craig were both quite a way off their best in Lima. I hope in future Olympic years we can hold the selection meet a bit later in the year (it's in April currently). That'd require hosting it further north so probably in Queensland.

Melbourne could've just used the money to host a downsized Comm Games in existing venues in Melbourne. What an idiot Dan Andrews is!

Looks like it wasn't only East Germany doping their athletes. https://www.bbc.com/sport/olympics/articles/crlrn9re3z5o

Seems the Comm Games are not yet dead. Glasgow has agreed to host a downsized Comm Games in 2026 with 10 sports down from 17 in 2014. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/13329851/major-development-glasgow-2026-commonwealth-agreement-reached/
