Delivering the double at Athens 2004. 🤩 Kelly Holmes did something incredible on this day in the 1500m at Athens 2004, completing an historic middle-distance double just days after taking gold in the 800m. 🥇🥇 @worldathletics | @TeamGB | #Olympics

The moment 🥹 Morgan Lake is the new British record holder in the women's high jump. #DLFinal | @morgan_a_lake

Mondo Duplantis: “Can I ask a question? I want to ask Noah about that stare down and that push. Because that shit was kinda crazy…” Noah Lyles: “As coach said, no comment.”

Perhaps the government will now see the value in supporting a bid for the 2029 World Athletics Championships

thanks to all the amazing athletes on this list - if you love athletics read the names - so many great memories and also excitement for the future - please back our bid!

Government simply needs to engage on this. The cost is minimal compared to the money it would generate for the economy and the UK should be looking to host more major sporting events given the obvious benefits.

@AthleticsImages @jackrbuckner @sebcoe @KatharineMerry @DmMoorcroft @paulajradcliffe @wendyslyrun @WightmanGeoff @AthleticsWeekly Congratulation on an amazing career Mark. I’ve only ever known classic athletic images from yourself, the sport won’t be the same.

After 62 years 'snapping' Athletics, I've decided it's time to retire. Thank you @jackrbuckner @sebcoe @KatharineMerry @DmMoorcroft @paulajradcliffe @wendyslyrun @WightmanGeoff for your kind words in the article highlighting my career in the December issue of @AthleticsWeekly

Geoff Capes, British shot put record holder and two-time world's strongest man, has died aged 75. In 1976, Tonight spent some time with him as he prepared for the Olympics lifting tonnes of weights, consuming countless calories and breeding budgies.

@Thommo10k Congratulations on an incredible running career Thommo! The longevity is almost as impressive as your ability to keep talking 😉Good luck with the next chapter.

Thank you so much! For your support and friendship! Kew will forever be a special place for my family!! You’ve given me memories that honestly make me smile every day. !

This is epic from Team GB rower Lola Anderson after winning Olympic gold. Show it to your daughter/granddaughter/niece. (Background: She wrote her Olympic dream down on paper aged 13 and threw it away, but her dad found it and gave it back when terminally ill 7 years later.)

@BritAthletics @GsyAla Olympic years aren’t the same without a bit of selection jeopardy involving a Guernsey athlete. Well done @GsyAla

Alastair Chalmers has been reinstated on appeal. @GsyAla takes gold in the men's 400m hurdles! #UKChamps2024

@simplysportssci Hi John, would love to watch this. Will this be recorded?

It's a free session. All are welcome. I'm hoping to learn from the experience also, so I will be asking for any feedback folks may have after the presentation. There will be a focus on practical implementation strategies I hope we can all share and learn something useful!

The design and delivery of optimal training programs demands we understand the true drivers of adaptation Yet training theory relies on outdated scientific dogma Here I'll discuss how recent insights enable us to deliver more effective training designs zoom.us/webinar/regist…

“It’s on matchdays where there is no cancer for us.” 🤍
 @SpursOfficial is everything to Jimmy and his daughters, Talya and Eliana. After sharing their story with @Sonny7, the family had a day they’ll never forget.

@EilishMccolgan Thinking of you all Eilish. Absolutely gutted to hear this news.

It's hard to find the words right now... Our family suffered a huge loss yesterday with the sudden passing of my step-father John. We've spent the last 6 weeks here in Doha, with my mum and John, and so his passing has been a huge shock. We are still trying to process it.

Can’t quite get my head around this news. Lovely man & gone too soon. Achieved some amazing performances as an athlete and a coach & played a huge part in my journey. Thoughts with all Johns friends & family.
