If I could trial one thing for track & field in the UK, it would be to offer free tickets to schools, deprived areas and/or people who have less access to watching live athletics.

Athletes returning from prolonged time off due to injury or other factors, repeat after me: “THE FASTER I TRY TO COME BACK, THE LONGER THE COMEBACK WILL TAKE.” Patience is your biggest ally in returning to fitness. As hard as it is, patience will be handsomely rewarded.

Results from Trafford tonight. Tonbridge ACs @simoncoppard 1.48.70 for 800m moves up to 5th on club all-time list. traffordac.co.uk/php/index.php?…

376 selected athletes, 28 sports, 65 medals... One 𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙚 team 🇬🇧 #TeamGB

Had Sifan Hassan entered the Olympics as an individual team, she'd have finished 11th on the medals table.
