“I wasn’t booing. I was saying Boo-urns” 🤣 I think these guys are professional enough to deal with crowd hostility. He’ll use this as fuel and he plays better when he’s angry. He’s got one hand on the title.

The tennis scoring system ❤️

Many other sports require you to be in front when a timer runs out.

In tennis, the finish line is dynamic and you have to keep winning points to win the match.

The graph shows the 'points from victory' in the Medvedev v Zverev semi final at #AO24

Obligatory Rambo at polling booth snap! #dogsatpollingbooths

Congrats on an incredible season @NZWarriors! Outplayed by broncos. Usual bad calls from the ref but that wasn’t the difference tonight. Bring on 2024! #UpTheWahs

Yas! Ruggba league! Jason Taumalolo pays respect to an important family member on on his 250 game. https://t.co/mXhoetG24Z

Just witnessed The Crucible in London, and it's like stepping into the courtroom of social media. The play's exploration of mass hysteria hits uncomfortably close to our online culture. Was also “spellbound” with the production’s beautiful direction and immersive soundscape.

So this is happening in UK right now. Looks like the NZ Royal commission of enquiry on COVID is based around lessons learned from response. In UK their former PM is called into question…Similarities here with our underfunded health system also not prepared for a pandemic.

[Ben Hutchison @hutchcola]

About to see some serious shit…

What a time to be alive! Pie shop politics wins every time. Can vouch for this place too. High quality.

Centre-centre court!

Are you guys excited for the Stadium WITHIN a Stadium? #MiamiOpen 🎾🐬

[Tom Carpenter @Carpo34]

NZ cricket have been more publicly upset about Trent Boult leaving his contract than they have been about Scott Kuggeleijn’s treatment of women. Sad and pathetic

I was in an elevator with Wayne Brown recently. He said that being Mayor was one of those roles that isn’t a ‘real job.’

[André Brett @DrDreHistorian]

I see "worst PM" is trending on NZ Twitter, so I can only assume people are talking about unambiguously NZ's worst leader, Alfred Domett (1862–63): an economic ignoramus, a violent racist who pursued some of the most punitive policies against Māori, and a prolix poet to boot

Some crazy hard yards! Serious shift here from Murray to steal the point. Woah…

[#AusOpen @AustralianOpen]

ANDY. MURRAY. 🤯

Madness in Melbourne!

Who would've guessed it?

Shaq loves the darts! 🏀🤝🎯

[Ben Hutchison @hutchcola]

Mad, chaotic ending! A league seems to be another example of a sports organisation providing a master class on how to alienate fans.

[Isuzu UTE A-League @aleaguemen]

The most ridiculous ending to an @IsuzuUTE A-League match in history 💥😱

Somehow... SOMEWAY... the NINE men of @WgtnPhoenixFC take all three points!

Unbelievable!!!

Nix survive chaotic ending: https://t.co/tcvZoljcPM

@danwootton What if everyone stopped looking at them..? Maybe they’d all just go away?

[Ben Hutchison @hutchcola]

“I cannot spake!” Absolute scene of scenes at the #darts. “Best leg of darts ever. Ever. Ever.” #lovethedarts eh.

[PDC Darts @OfficialPDC]

THE BEST LEG OF ALL TIME! 🤯🔥

MICHAEL VAN GERWEN MISSES D12 FOR A NINE-DARTER, AND THEN SMITH PINS A PERFECT LEG HIMSELF!

ONE OF THE GREATEST THINGS YOU'LL EVER SEE IN SPORT.
