This will inspire the s*** out of you this week.
This woman was limping.
Struggling with her hip.
She even pulled over on the road to stretch out her hip whilst her rivals disappeared swiftly up the road.
"She needs to stop."
- Paula Radcliffe (3x London Marathon Winner)
"Somebody needs to give her advice to step off and stop trying to run on."
But @SifanHassan, a former refugee who left Ethiopia for the Netherlands as a 15-year-old, did not stop.
In the end, the gruelling two-hour race came down to a sprint in the final few metres.
Against all odds, she grittingly WON the 2023 @LondonMarathon. ๐ฅ
Best yet, she had NEVER raced a marathon before! This was her first.
Incredible. ๐๐๐
In whatever challenge you are facing this week, know that its not about how your start, its about how you FINISH.
The naysayers and doubters as "experienced" as they might be, can say whatever they like but, YOU write your own rules.
YOU write your own story.
Keep going!
US based sports agency Roc Nation - which represents Romelu Lukaku - described the racial abuse aimed at him during the Coppa Italia semi-final first leg against Juventus as "despicable" and said it "cannot be accepted".
Absolute class from @altrinchamfc keeper, @oliverbyrne3. Lost on pens after being one kick from Wembley in the FA Trophy SF, but then came over to my lad to console him and give him his gloves. "Chin up. Look at me. Chin up. We go again", he told him. I love this club. #WeGoAgain

Inline with @ColU_Official statement
With an incredibly close relationship, and witnessing first-hand what this amazing football club and the people within it do on a weekly basis.
@ColU_Official It saddens us to hear that a small minority of so called football fans think itโs OK to level such horrific abuse at an opposition team.
This is not OK, this is not right and these people should be punished!
We are delighted to announce our partnership with East Stirlingshire FC.
Working #Together with a shared vision for the future we canโt wait to support club development of the grassroot and ladies pathways over the next few seasons.
