@nytimes @TheAthletic Torah Bright is an Australian woman who has previously won Olympic gold in snowboarding.

From @TheAthletic: A tearful Josie Baff became the first Australian woman to win Olympic gold in snowboarding. She crossed the finish line with both hands in the air and disbelief on her face. nyti.ms/3OhVoqQ

@antsharwood Shortest day of the year here is June 22ish. Wouldn’t that be mid-winter? Might write em a letter.

30 degrees in Sydney after dark in what would be regarded as winter in most countries (Our BoM uses months to delineate seasons whereas most meteorological agencies use solstice-to-equinox, or approx June 21 to Sep 21, for S Hemisphere winter)

That’s it from me here. X marks my exit from this place. My scant contributions are over on the other one at sims.isms

@Optus It’s not my issue. YOU cut me off. TWICE! It is urgent that my connection is restored

@Optus You are kidding. Right? I have been on your DM line for over 24 hours.

@antsharwood Where does it stipulate that you have to book ahead?

My response to fancy new bushwalks that you have to book is no farking way. We are walkers. We have the lightest touch of any outdoors types. FFS just let us walk. Do 4WD enviro vandals have to book to churn riverbeds to diesel infused mudheaps? I rest my case

One of the most intriguing characters in Australian sport is the legendary coach Percy Cerutty, whose most recognised student was Olympic champion Herb Elliott. Both men influenced the development of a future Olympic champ, now president of World Athletics, @sebcoe.../2

Great news! You can now get @graemsims biography of Percy Cerutty on kindle. The book is out of print so cost $100+ in hardcover but now it's $10 on kindle! Cerutty was a true innovator, inventing a Stotan philosophy (Stoic + Spartan) of life/coaching amzn.to/2yvRe8h

@patstokes This is the latest greatest earliest mark thread ever

Pardon the plug, but I've refreshed my 2003 biography of Percy Cerutty, now available on Kindle. 2nd hand copies of the printed version were selling for crazy sums but it's now A$11.99. New website shows what the 'Maker of Champions' was all about – percy-cerutty.com Thanks

@yackheather Can someone point to advice for isolating households on how to minimise risk from deliveries? If virus can live on paper and plastic etc, what should be done? This article:

Famous cricket pairs (batting or bowling) that could also be Saville Row tailors (or a detective agency). I’ll start: Larwood and Voce @jonlophoto suggests: Bairstow and Roy

@rdhinds Trust you have detected The Detectorists ... for the same reasons ....

The Canberra Raiders are through to their first grand final since 1994 after a 16-6 win over the South Sydney Rabbitohs in front of an NRL record 26,567 crowd at GIO Stadium. raiders.com.au/news/2019/09/2… #WeAreRaiders #WEARECBR

That was the greatest session of cricket I have seen since last week.

@garmstrong61 @MattThompson @cleary_mitch Been banging on about that for decades. It is still the dumbest rule in sport.

@MattThompson @cleary_mitch A more sensible change would be to have the same rule as every other footy code. If it hits the post but goes through its a goal. If it hits the post but doesn't go through it's a behind ...

This is cool. Surprised we’re only hearing about it two days before the start of the season. @cleary_mitch has all the details m.afl.com.au/news/2019-03-1…
