Commenting on the triathlon for Eurosport/discovery+ for #PARIS2024 has been incredible - all three races had drama. Getting a chance to commentate on an Olympic Games for the first time is a genuine childhood dream fulfilled. More to come this week...

The finest of margins separated the medal positions in the triathlon mixed team relay🤏🥇🥈🥉

After a strong finish from Laura Lindemann, Germany secured gold! USA's Taylor Knibb out-dipped GB's Beth Potter, who organisers had initially awarded the silver😮

@RobHarris Still no sign at all that World Athletics will be changing its stance until the war in Ukraine is over, so it has to be made clear that athletics - as things stand - won't include Russian or Belarusian athletes at the LA Olympics.

Trump’s called FIFA and asked him to replace Infantino.

I will make a statement on my future in public life at 2pm.

@MichaelWeadock @markxdavies Just look at his face, though.

@WSCCNews might want to check the Southwick one again…

@ryanadsett It’s a 2 year extension, rather than 3 years.

🚨 A shameless plug for my book Super Shoes: How advanced technology revolutionised running

Sunday in London saw the 2h barrier finally broken in a record-legal race (by two athletes!) and another women’s-only WR

Try not to post much on here anymore but breaking that to promo some fun work we’ve been doing with @LondonMarathon and @MaurtenOfficial for our Podium Athletics podcast - including this exclusive (and rare) interview with Sabastian Sawe, out today.

@Marathon_N Hi guys - you hearing anything about the Barcelona Marathon elite fields? Thanks.

[Richard Newman @rich_newman]

@albertostretti Hi Alberto - did you find an entry list in the end? Seems odd there isn’t one anywhere two days out.

[Richard Newman @rich_newman]

@LiamTharmeCoach @LillzTIL He's also one of many athletes who did this at Paris 2024, copying Yusuf Dikeç's casual style in the Olympic shooting.

[Richard Newman @rich_newman]

Not bad for a nation where there's no sliding track, very few ski/snowboard slopes, completely neglect the idea of building widespread ice rinks - and where it apparently rains every day from 1 Jan until we one day declare it's spring...

[Richard Newman @rich_newman]

The Albion fans putting a 97th minute equaliser all on Milner really does feel like a low…

[Richard Newman @rich_newman]

@Marathon_N Valencia start lists due out today?

[Richard Newman @rich_newman]

Strong Origi 18/19 energy from Chiesa so far this season.

[Richard Newman @rich_newman]

Also - James Milner! Makes me feel young being 7 months older than me 😂

He may not be super speedy in himself but he injected general pace in terms of moment of the ball. Still so good. #bhafc

[Richard Newman @rich_newman]

Albion completed that turnaround after a Haaland opener for Man City five minutes quicker than the corresponding fixture last season. Once again, subs turned the game - special mention for Rutter’s impact - Hurzeler’s initial selection felt too negative. #bhafc

Starting to feel a bit “I’ll take over another club with money to boost my transfer kitty” on FM this…

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨🔵 BREAKING: Facundo Buonanotte to Chelsea, here we go! Deal in place with loan move and there’s no buy option clause included.

❗️ Understand Chelsea will have chance to match future bids and get Buonanotte if they can agree with Brighton.

Exclusive story, confirmed. 🇦🇷

[Preet Majithia @preet_athletics]

Privileged to be a guest on @podium_pod with @rich_newman to chat GB team selection. @hannengland and Katie Smith hope I kept your seats warm successfully!

@DavymartinCE0 @ryanadsett As you say he's both only 21 and been injured (long term injuries twice in the last few years by the way) - and then, he's also unproven and only has a year left on his contract. What would you have expected the fee to be?
