Yeah hold your breath, Gus Gould, and keep holding it you sad biased dickhead. This has got to be the most pathetic call of a major sporting event I've ever heard. How the hell does Channel 9 cop this? Anyway, go Storm! #NRLGF

#WorldAthleticsAwards announcement💫 Karsten Warholm is nominated for Male Athlete of the Year 2020. Retweet this post to vote for him.

At a small track meet in Penguin, Tasmania last night, Stewart McSweyn clocked an amazing 1 mile in 3:50.61. The fastest ever 1 mile on Australian soil, a 2020 world lead, and the 3rd fastest time ever by an Australian. Amazing Stewart McSweyn Nic Bideau AustralianAthletics

📺WATCH: It's been a year to remember for a Tasmanian athlete whose star continues to rise. At Penguin's round of the Christmas Carnival series last night, Stewart McSweyn broke the Australian all comers record in the mile race... slashing more than 4 seconds off his PB.

It was another super edition of the Tasmanian Open Mile at the TasCarnivals Burnie Carnival last night, with the evergreen Troy Atkins holding out the fast-finishing Stewart McSweyn, who was after a third-straight win in the event. Here's the closing stages called by Grant Penney.

Anyone want to predict how much head start Stewart McSweyn will need to give Ryan Gregson over 3200m next weekend at #parkdalegift? Grant Penney Nic Bideau @VictorianAthLea Inside Athletics Athletes Australia @athsexclusive Mex Tamsyn Manou

My Guardian column today. Track and field's record books are being torched in the sport's equivalent of Year Zero thanks to the super spikes – so why the omertà from athletes around the new tech? (with expert input from Nick Willis & Geoff Burns) theguardian.com/sport/blog/202…

I’m at Melbourne Track Classic It’s in Melbourne, and it’s on the Track, but there’s not a lot of Classic about it Here is the same meet in 1996: youtu.be/P3o8pSXnN1I Time for T&F fans with business/media/marketing expertise to lend a hand and get this event & sport back

I don't usually voice my concerns over meetings/performances/athletes, but the MTC was extremely underwhelming (and I love athletics!). Why was it run two days before the QTC?!?!

Just wondering what this is all about? examiner.com.au/story/7253600/…

Why is 3x3 Basketball an Olympic sport? 🤔

I don’t know what they’re saying but I love every word #chills

Ash Moloney ends day 1 of the Olympic Decathlon in second place with 4641 points, his highest ever. If he has another big day tomorrow, his Burnie Gift title could get relegated to a lower shelf on his trophy cabinet…..

And here are the tactical thoughts of Christmas Carnivals commentator Grant Penney, who has called all of McSweyn's epic runs on the NW Coast. theadvocate.com.au/story/7374689/…

Want to put on a hugely popular Cross-Country Meet? MAKE THE COURSE SHORT. Athletes will brag about their times. Coaches & Parents will do everything to justify it. (I hate this) TIMES DO NOT MATTER. Stop feeding this monster. If everyone PRs, the course is probably short.

Amazing what can spring from an idea. We now have a scholarship that will make a significant impact on the next generation of future mid/dist runners from the North West Coast. Thanks Stewart McSweyn and Nic Bideau

Should James Hird ever coach again? Georgie Parker says NO…. “We have this sick obsession as a code to put these greats on a pedestal and keep them there… there are so many people who get second chance after second chance.”

This is by far, THE BEST THING I have EVER seen on Twitter. Essendon FC 🟥⬛️

For someone who’s openly admitted to mental health issues in the past, I’ve had enough of AFL players using it as an excuse when caught with drugs/facing any type of adversity. These ‘role models’ definitely aren’t improving the stigma around mental health issues in males #AFL
