One of my foolish looking 1st Jan picks has come through!

The good news is that he now has the Auto Q for Birmingham next year, though still needs to chase it in the 1500m. Oh, wait, he's defending champ in both, so doesn't need the standard. Does World Indoor Champ get wild card? There's got to be one that won't have.

My 1st Jan picks:

Sorry, not sorry.

How they manage to get camera shots following athletes running full pelt downhill is one of the most impressive things in sports coverage!

Random loosely related fact: Efrem Gidey (7th), Peter Lynch (8th) and Darragh McElhinney (9th) who just missed making the Euro Cross team in Gowran two years ago, all made their World Champs debut in Tokyo this month!

A second world title in 48 hours for Orla Comerford, adding the 200m to her 100m crown from Sunday. Giving it welly in New Delhi. #ParaAthletics #NewDelhi2025

12 Indian athletes, 4 from Russia, 3 from USA, China and Kenya, and 2 from Turkey!

Road to Kujawy Pomorze has a certain ring to it (or it would if I knew how pronounce it)! I do worry how limited my foreign language skills would be if it wasn't for athletics!

Repechage rounds to take place at Universal Studios, while the marathon and race walks move to the stadium. I mean, it's athletics; stranger things have happened!

Unlike most individual sports, athletics has held firm since 2022 in not allowing the return of Russian and Belarusian athletes. So with a genocide being carried out in Gaza, why isn't the same discussion being had about Israel? Saturday column: irishexaminer.com/sport-columnis…

No prizes for guessing which rabbit hole I fell down last night!

IT'S CROSS COUNTRY TIME! The domestic season gets underway with the IUAA Intervarsities tomorrow, and World Cross will be in the US on 10th Jan. Here's some of what you can expect in the action-packed three months between the two. trackathletes.ie/articles/the-c…

Things are starting to get a little busier again.

Found this when looking for results earlier. These lads have done pretty well since finishing 6th team in U20 race at Euro Cross 9 years ago!

Busy Sunday on the roads: ⭐AnnMarie McGlynn & Hiko Tonosa among those expected at Dublin Marathon. ⭐Efrem Gidey & Emily Haggard-Kearney among Valencia Half Marathon elite entries. ⭐Brian Fay at Burnie 10 in Australia (late Sat Irish time). 🔗Links: trackathletes.ie/calendar/

'If you're good enough, you're old enough.' This has got to be my least favourite statement in sport - and I have a few.
