@LaurentMeuwly @JoelMasonHJ @WorldAthletics Oh great so you expect us to do that twice each season for competitions, on top of training camps. Good one. Guess we should all just move to Europe or America?

[SEN Tassie @SENTassie]

Olympian Jacob Despard discussed how much he enjoys being back home and trying to base himself out of Hobart! 🏃‍♂️
Painey might have also found a new all-rounder for the Adelaide Strikers in the process! 🏏

If they want 50+% of the olympic list filled from points they need an objective system to get into high points races.

2nd last night in Sydney 🫡

Take a bow, Reece Holder! 🥈

En route to silver at @Chengdu2021, Reece clocked 44.79 to become the fifth fastest Australian over 400m and met the qualifying standard for #Paris2024. 🤯

Disheartened and frustrated by the current point manipulation and politics within meets & athletes trying to get opportunities to run with decent points available in Europe currently.

[Jacob Despard @JacobDespard]

@LukeMathews95 Birmingham last year was unreal, sold out Athletics Stadium everyday for example.

[Jacob Despard @JacobDespard]

Up & coming election, let’s promise regional towns a sport, get regional votes and then at a later date cancel and blame the cost.

[Dan Andrews @DanielAndrewsMP]

Bit of a long one this morning.

You might have heard the news this morning that Victoria will no longer be hosting the 2026 Commonwealth Games.

And I wanted to tell you about the decision.

[Jacob Despard @JacobDespard]

3x more than the last games and 5x more than GC Games?!

[Dan Andrews @DanielAndrewsMP]

It’s now clear: more than $6 billion for a 12-day sporting event is just too high.

It’s more than twice the estimated economic benefit the Games would bring our state.

[Jacob Despard @JacobDespard]

@stats_feed I don’t know where you’re going if it’s $46 in Australia 🤣

[Jacob Despard @JacobDespard]

@Bartlett_DJ @SmirksTas I’d also like an indoor athletics facility or at least an undercover area down the back straight at the Domain while we’re on the topic of sports funding in Tasmania.
