Quite like athletics. #smsports aficionado. Do comms, content and commentary. You’ll probably find me at the track.

In Germany we call the time between Christmas and New Year’s “Zwischen den Jahren” [literally “between the years”] because no one has a clue what day or time it is anyway.

I think I ate too many Lebkuchen.

My absolute favourite way to watch the NYC Marathon is through the isolated pro feeds on the race app. No commentary, just listening to the fans lining the course cheering their hearts out. I’m thousands of miles away and still have goosebumps watching.

[Michelle Sammet @michellesammet]

And yes, I know, these are the hard hitting race observations everyone is looking for.

Is Amanal Petros one of the most accessorised marathoners out there? Signature pearl necklace, glasses on top of his head, five or six rings. It’s obviously common to see on the track, but a lot rarer on the roads, no?

Got to spent some time with Emmanuel Wanyonyi in Kenya earlier this year. Back then he told us “I’m not ready for now to run a WR.”

Tonight he ran 1:41.11 & moved up to #2 on the 800m all-time list… so watch this space!

Anyone else feel jet lagged? Are we sure the Olympics doesn’t have its own time zone that’s completely detached from all other time zones?

Can we get Swarovski crystals on track and field uniforms like the gymnasts have? ✨

@TheRealMerb Maybe not a huge surprise, but German coverage was a lot more balanced - a lot of emphasis on him saying before the race a medal is more important than any record and of course lots of talk of it being the first Olympic swimming gold for Germany since 1988…

[Michelle Sammet @michellesammet]

It’s barely lunchtime and I’ve already watched handball, volleyball, hockey, diving, gymnastics and now basketball.

I friggin’ love the Olympics!

[Jamie @Jamie10__]

Be careful he may drop it because it’s hot

[Michelle Sammet @michellesammet]

Yep. Still.

[Michelle Sammet @michellesammet]

I always think my knowledge of geography is pretty reasonable until we get to an Olympic Opening Ceremony.

Ahead of @Paris2024, do yourself a favour and take 20min of your day to properly get to know the many facets of @mutazbarshim - most decorated high jumper in history, family man, legacy builder, … and still soaring high 👐
