Really interesting piece on the exclusion of African countries from the Olympics by Hannah Borenstein, including reflections on exclusion / unequal inclusion in the 2024 Games: historynewsnetwork.org/article/fears-…

Congratulations Bini 💚🇪🇷 You made Tour de France history

Athletics has representatives from more countries than any other at world and Olympic level. Doing something about the lack of diversity of Athlete Representatives would be a great idea World Athletics

Can’t wait for the Olympic marathon ⬇️🇪🇹🦁

This is a brilliant idea 💡 🖊️ thebookseller.com/news/new-writi…

Kenenisa Bekele is running the Olympic marathon this weekend. He also recently co-authored his first scientific paper, arguing that tech innovations like supershoes and pacing lights (which helped break his WRs) deserve an asterisk in the record books. outsideonline.com/health/trainin…

For those unable to attend the BSSH conference last week at University of Chichester, we’re pleased to bring you the 2024 Sir Derek Birley Memorial lecture given by Michael Crawley of Durham University speaking on myth, reality and sport & society in Ethiopian running. shows.acast.com/66cf3b711bc1bc…

I'll be doing a book launch for 'To the Limit' Collected Books Durham on the 25th September. Tickets are £5, and available here: Michael Crawley - To the Limit | Wednesday 25 September, 6.30pm – Collected (collectedbooks.co.uk)

Michael is a wonderful regular here at the shop! This is getting a lot of buzz - we can't wait!!

Very cool to see the Japanese version of my book about Ethiopian running being read in Kenya by Kosuke Nakano as he prepares for the deaflympics…

Absolutely. Unless an athlete agent is REALLY on top of this it's really for many Ethiopian and Eritrean athletes to use these systems. For what it's worth I also did meet her in Addis and I know she had to change her plans going back and forth for reasons related to visas.

To the Limit is out today! 🏃‍♂️ 🚴 🧗🏻‍♀️

📚 Happy publication day to all of these amazing books! We’ve got some new books that are waiting to be devoured! Have any of these caught your eye? 👀 👇 Thread
