The drama of 1500m racing — and falls — runs deep in Australian athletics history. But in the end, it’s not the fall that defines a runner. It’s how they get up. Our feature revisits the major tumbles of the 1956 Nationals, the 2000 Olympic Trials and the 2026 Nationals.

Our take on the 1500m from the Australian Championships... It's not about the fall, it's about how you get up

A strong read from legendary sports journalist Louise Evans on dramas involving Jess Hull: the fall, DQ and DQ reversal, and reports of a “thawing relationship” with AA.

Hull could not have been more unequivocal about both matters after winning the 5k.

Steph came to me at the start of 2022 as a jogger looking to improve her running. For the past 2 years this fantastic woman has qualified for the Australian 1500m final. After moving to Melbourne she won her first Vic title on Thursday night over 5k. @insideaths great photo

This photo shows where Australia's Aidan Murphy went wrong in the men's 4x400m, and why the team were disqualified.

Needed to have both feet behind the blue line.

The Brazilian runner made the same mistake, resulting in the disqualification of his team.

Lachlan Kennedy on joining the sub-10 club, nice messages he received from Patrick Johnson and Gout Gout, and eyeing the world championships.

Great throwback pic in here of Johnson and Matt Shirvington. 📷

For the first 6 years of his pro career, Josh Hoey cycled through 5 coaches and barely improved on his 1:47 800m pb from high school.

I spoke to those coaches -- and his new one, Justin Rinaldi -- to find out how he went from that to World Indoor champ.
