Ross Tucker I just don't understand why athletes aren't taking the opportunity to credit the shoes. I mean this is the one time they can actually pass credible praise to their sponsor's contribution to the performance...that is unless their sponsor doesn't want the rules changing again...

If a person lacks humility, never addresses how they might be wrong, and reaches far beyond their expertise in providing answers for everything, it’s probably best to stop reading their work.

The (very badly) dubbed children’s series about a Yugoslavian horse farm, was named one the greatest theme tunes in tv history. The (UK) theme, written by Michael Carr & Ben Nisbet was titled "White Horses", & credited to "Jacky" (Jackie Lee). ❤️ x.com/YourGiftDeals/…

Great day out yesterday joining with Pen-y-bont Triathlon Club for swim, bike, run in the #BreconBeacons. Two rides went out, one shorter, one longer so all abilities welcomed. Brick run, then river swim in the #Usk to finish. New friends made - we loved it! #Triathlon @WelshTriathlon

Nice hilly spin to #Abbeycwmhir then round the dams #Elan #Radnorshire. Lovely pit stop Penbont House #Triathlon 🚴‍♂️😎😀

On this Tuesday 10th Aug at 7pm The Merthyr Mermaid will be on full BBC One as part of the fab series “Our Lives”

It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science.

Emma Radacanu's coach thinks doing horse riding, swimming, tap dancing, basketball, skiing, golf and go-karting as a kid - and only specialising in tennis later - helped her. Here's why. (With a massive nod to the brilliant David Epstein)

Good deed for the day....

WhatsApp Superb!
