The dust has settled on the London Diamond League and Josh Kerr's fabulous world mile record. But what was it like being there? Find out here ➡️ thehomestraight.substack.com/p/day-in-the-l…

Strike while the iron's hot, Josh. The 1500m world record is there for the taking this summer — and this sport rarely hands you a second chance like this. athleticsweekly.com/news/opinion/w…

A 1500m world record attempt next, please. x.com/tntsports/stat…

Josh Kerr is once again sporting an Amazfit Helio Strap on his arm as he romps to victory at the Commonwealth Games. Currently testing one for @athleticsweekly with a review hitting our website in a few days.

What can mere mortals learn from Josh Kerr? thehomestraight.substack.com/p/10-lessons-o…

Josh Kerr reminiscent of Steve Cram at the 1986 Games in Edinburgh. The world mile record-holder is in the form of his life. Unbeatable. Toying with his rivals. Destroying a world-class field with ease.

Hopefully Max Burgin and Ben Pattison have a better time at the European Champs in Birmingham. After Burgin fails to make the 800m final in Glasgow, Pattison finishes 4th and runs slower than his L'boro coach Chris McGeorge did in the 1982 final 44yrs ago.

@pedrsion If you read the article...

@Jason_AW S4C as well !

1998: I watched the Commonwealth Games from a 100,000-seat stadium that felt like the Olympics. 2026: I'm hunting for coverage on HBO Max and BBC Alba. What happened in between ➡️ thehomestraight.substack.com/p/from-a-10000…

Forget carb-loading — Ja'Kobe Tharp world record-loaded. Two cheeseburgers, large fries, 10 nuggets, one 12.75. He's lovin' it 🍔 athleticsweekly.com/news/the-mcdon…

For those missing BBC coverage this week... athleticsweekly.com/news/meetings/…

Television coverage of the #CommonwealthGames in the UK may remain behind a pay-wall even after @Glasgow_2026, despite the fact the event has practically zero visibility following a deal by @thecgf to award the rights to @tntsports instead of @BBCSport.

Can you tell the difference between independent athletics journalism and a governing body's own PR dressed up as coverage? Increasingly, I'm not sure most fans can. Wrote about why that matters here ➡️ open.substack.com/pub/thehomestr…

This is worth a read. I think @usatf is doing a good job on this front. At #USATFOutdoors their content team was at the far end of the mixed zone, separate and after the journalists. I recall competing with a "content guy" from #Birmingham2026 at #WorldIndoors and it was bad...

Governing bodies aren't just running events anymore. They're running the news about their own events too — and slowly squeezing out the journalists meant to hold them to account. open.substack.com/pub/thehomestr…

“Viewers reacted to the move (to TNT Sports) with frustration, disbelief and outright fury,” reported Cycling Weekly, who added that a survey involving almost 1000 people showed that just 2.5% were willing to sign up to TNT Sports with 9% undecided.

When the ill-fated Grand Slam Track was shown on TNT Sports last year, I wrote this article about athletics on TV and why we shouldn't take BBC's coverage for granted. athleticsweekly.com/news/opinion/i…

🇦🇺 It was going Wanza's way — until Rose came into bloom. 🌹 #Glasgow2026

@KellySotherton @hbomax I have the track feed on now (HBO Max/Prime) on my TV with the women's 10,000m but no commentary at all.

@Jason_AW It would be helpful if @hbomax actually worked and I could see something other than a black screen 😩

📺 Are athletics fans finding the Commonwealth Games easy to find and watch on TV? It seems a bit strange/sad when people are recommending BBC Alba or S4C if you want to watch for free.

@ipa1869 What I find strange/sad is that people are piping up on social media in the last 48hrs to recommend BBC Alba or S4C as viewing options.

@Jason_AW As “Head of Digital at Athletics Weekly” why are you finding this “strange/sad”? Have you not known for months that live coverage is with TNT? I’m a sports fan with a particular interest in athletics and knew months ago.
