Matthew Wright - OLYMPIAN. Sweet off 😆.

What a day, unbelievable. Thank you to every person who played apart in this journey, and the support today. Out of this world. More to follow, but for now, want to take some time to take it all in 🙏🏼🇧🇧.

Barbados records here. Went through 3km in 8:36 today, so maybe even the 3km is possible too. Post Olympic year, may be the time to go after it 👏🏼

14:38 at the @Cardiff5K today to open my racing season.

First time I’ve raced a 5km without a swim and bike before it for over 10 years, and a 2 second PB. 200bpm avg heat rate for 15mins to get there 😮‍💨

Just 18 seconds off the Barbados record of 14:20. Summer project 👀🤔?!

[Matthew Wright @mattwright246]

Nothing like a final hard session of a 25 hour training week being a 5km road race. Sufferation 🥴.

Happy to run 14:38 for 5km @Cardiff5K.

Always fancied a go at the Barbados record of 14:20 but the triathlon season never allowed it. Post Olympic year, now may be the time 🤷🏻‍♂️?

He converted his maiden Test ton to become the youngest player to score a Triple Century in Tests.
