@Predamame That’s probably my favourite athletics story of all time.
And, yes, I have started writing a musical about it.

Some men become WWII guys. Others become Roman Empire guys.
I'm a 1904 Olympic Marathon guy.

So incredibly sad. Had the pleasure of working alongside Parker at numerous World Champs and Olympics over the years.
He was super knowledgeable, a great writer and a devoted family man.

Alison Wade, founder & editor of @fast_women, lost her husband Parker Morse this morning. He was 52 and died unexpectedly. Equal parts brilliant & kind, Parker was the original webmaster for @runnersworld when the website launched in 1996. He was the father of twin daughters.

Wind curse continues for @itsgabbyt, this time in Nairobi, a -1.1m/s wind denying her a potential sub-11.
With a perfect 2.0m/s, it would have been a 10.82.
If she'd had 2.0m/s winds in her 15 fastest races, she'd have 12 sub-11s to her name.
Alas, her PB remains 11.00.

I’ve really struggled to stay engaged on here since Twitter became all Musky.
Trying things out over on Bluesky. Can’t promise I’ll be as active there as I once was on here but let’s give it a go.

Georgia Bell, who returned to athletics in June last year after a career in duathlon, is now an Olympic medallist, British record-holder, and sits third on the European all-time list.

Tonight’s heptathlon was also one of the highest quality of all time.
Never before have five women scored 6600+ in the same competition.

Nafi Thiam's winning margin tonight, when winning her 11th major title (global/continental), was just 36 points over KJT.
Her only winning margin smaller than that was when she won her first major title, the 2016 Olympic crown, by just 35 points from Jess Ennis-Hill.

@Statman_Jon @fan_athletics That's the first AtStat you'll miss since Paris 1924, innit?

The women's event has been similarly revolutionised.
Up until 2019, there'd been just 3 sub-52.50s in history. Fast forward 5 years and there are now 27, with Femke Bol leading the way.
11 - Bol
8 - McLaughlin-Levrone
4 - Muhammad
1 - Pechonkina
1 - Walker
1 - Little
1 - Demus

From 1992 until 2018, there had been just one sub-47-second performance ever in the 400m hurdles.
That barrier has now been broken 26 times, 25 of those coming in the past six years, and 11 of them by @kwarholm
11 - Warholm
7 - Benjamin
6 - Dos Santos
1 - Young
1 - Samba

That's a European U18 best and puts her second on the world U18 all-time list behind China's Wang Yuan...!

Pheobe Gill 1:57.86 for 800m!! She's 17 remember🔥🔥

Kerr also set an outright British 3000m record en route, clocking 7:30.16.

World indoor two miles best for Josh Kerr at Millrose Games, 8:00.67.
Only two men (Daniel Komen and Jakob Ingebrigtsen) have ever bettered that time outdoors.
His mile splits:
4:03.63
3:57.04

@MrAndrewCotter I offered to pace to 800m in 2:44. Apparently that's not good enough.
(I'd also struggle to do even that).

I’m always amazed by the number of media people who never miss an opportunity to make a celebrity’s death about themselves—either by sharing a picture of them together or pretending they knew each other.
It’s not so hard to remain dignified in this kind of situations, is it?

@fan_athletics She could probably fit a bit of discus in there somewhere tbh
