@gregblood Excellent point, Greg.

A big conversation is needed.
There is a risk the Olympics will be the domain of the richest athletes, rather than the best athletes, if something isn't done about the question of prizemoney.

@AnnaHarrington @Socceroos @FIFAWorldCup @aap_sports All the best, Anna, looking forward to your stories from your first men's FIFA World Cup. There is nothing like it (yet😉).

Football Australia's message to stakeholders: forget yesterday, we're moving on; it's time to unite.
The forgiving and forgetting of previously unpaid debts is a renewal of vows between the FA and the APL; those at the coalface feel like Robin Hood has robbed the poor to pay the rich.

It was an interesting experiment, but I can't see a second edition of the Enhanced Games anytime soon.
There was one world record only and three of the four clean athletes in the field won their events, including sprinter Fred Kerley, the only one in his race to break ten seconds.

@garmstrong61 @rgloveroz Glad you noticed, Geoff, it was a little light-on. Credit to the crowd in my session, though, they all seemed to enjoy it and many thanked me afterwards for something different.
