If you go to see any #panto this Christmas, go and see @LeNavetBete and @ExeterNorthcott

Effortless belly laughing and guffaws throughout!

You even get to see this beauty as you’ve never seen before 🥳

[Kate Allenby MBE OLY @KateAllenby]

All finished!

Christmas cake 2024 🥳

[Kate Allenby MBE OLY @KateAllenby]

Congratulations Sam! It’s been a heck of a journey. Good luck with the next steps 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

That was SO much fun!

In honour of the #ModernPentathlon at the #Paris2024    Olympics, I dug out these snaps of me on one of THE BEST DAYS EVER with @KateAllenby at @PentathlonGB. 😭

[Kate Allenby MBE OLY @KateAllenby]

Take a look at the quality of the MP athletes heading to the start line for Paris 2024.. exceptional athletes

[𒊓𒅂𒁓𒐗𒐕𒐗 Steve the skeptic @sib313]

At best, you might be able to achieve high standards in 2 or 3 over an extended period. But not at the same time and possibly never given the radically different skills required...

[Kate Allenby MBE OLY @KateAllenby]

Looks like @VodafoneUK have switched off 3G masts in this area.

They promised “by retiring the 3G network, we’ll be able to continue strengthening our newer 4G & 5G network.”

So far, there seems to be no stronger 4G network locally. And with no 3G, there’s almost no service

[Kate Allenby MBE OLY @KateAllenby]

Huge congratulations Kay! 🥳

Horsing today 😀

The ones who were silenced:

They spoke to us
They expressed their position
They said why they couldn’t speak

We protected them

Others spoke for them

Joe is delighted Klaus knows his name

Does Klaus actually know who protested?

The ones who
❤️Wore the T-shirts?
❤️Wrote to the IOC?
❤️Called for his resignation
❤️Were interviewed for “Athletes pressing charges” book
❌ or the ones who were silenced?
@JoeChoongy

The #IOC has plenty of money to pay every athlete attending the Games.

….for our place in the OG, at the cost of breaking up the sport.

Which other sport has been willing to do that?

[Kate Allenby MBE OLY @KateAllenby]

Michael, Klaus had one job, to grow the sport.

He was handed a sport with a unique history, supreme athletes, iconic stories and moments & he wasted it.

It became about political deals & change for change sake. UIPM was so reliant on the Olympic $$ we were left begging….

[Michael.R Payne @MichaelRPayne1]

Kate, dont underestime how MP was already on life support with its Olympic place well before Schorman became president. Change is not always easy - knowing Olympic world as I do, a miracle that the sport was able to make it this far. OCOGs fought hard to drop

[Kate Allenby MBE OLY @KateAllenby]

He took MP & its history to pieces due to failed leadership

He was a supreme politician but over 30 years failed to grow our sport so we had to beg for inclusion at every prog review

The final humiliation was seeing our sport broken up. That is his legacy

It’s not MP now

[Michael.R Payne @MichaelRPayne1]

It was a very simple decision. Change or lose place on Olympic prog & sport dies.

[Exeter Northcott @ExeterNorthcott]

We are very excited to announce that our panto title this year is... 🥁🥁🥁 CINDERELLA! After year-on-year record-breaking success, Exeter Northcott and @LeNavetBete are teaming up once again to bring you this fabulous modern take on a classic story! ✨

This 8m piste format is being tested for the LA28 OG in Mod Pentathlon

How does this fit with the requirements of the IOC in terms of legitimate sporting competition, athlete safety and sporting integrity & excellence?

Remember the epee is the most inflexible of the 3 weapons

[Pentathlon United @PentUnited]

UIPM are testing formats to compete at the LA28 Olympic Games on an 8m fencing piste (usual piste is 14m)

Is fencing on an 8m fencing piste safe?

Some thoughts and concerns from the PU community on athlete safety 👇🏼

[Kate Allenby MBE OLY @KateAllenby]

@JanBartu @StMarysCalne So many amazing memories, forever grateful 🙏🏻

[Kate Allenby MBE OLY @KateAllenby]

Thank you for having me @StMarysCalne - you were a great audience with so many thoughtful questions #dreambig #whatisimpossible #perform

[Kate Allenby MBE OLY @KateAllenby]

Looking forward to speaking to the students @StMarysCalne tomorrow as a part of their 6th Form lecture series.

We shall be asking the important question “what is impossible?”

Look out for a surprising interlude early on! 😉
