This article is actually laughable and beyond disrespectful to all athletes, not just elite athletes. Majority of the people in these positions couldn’t run for a bus. You’re broke as hell and that’s the sole reason. Millions & millions of loses year in, year out. It’s pathetic.

A great thread.

It's time to start making those calls and applying that pressure. Olympic deadline is tomorrow!

Everyone, I need your help! Please get sharing this post and submitting your views to UK sport. The BOA deadline is tomorrow.

Phil Norman Lisa Nandy MP Lisa Nandy MP Team GB please help the UK 🇬🇧 athletes who have qualified for the Olympics but denied a place to compete 🙏🏾 It’s really urgent ‼️

Lisa Nandy MP please help - our athletes have qualified but are not being allowed to compete at the Olympics 😭 it’s completely unjust after they have trained so hard 🤬 Pls help Jess Phillips Chi Onwurah 💙 cc Phil Norman Jade Lally

nearly 8,000 signatures on Phil Norman's petition... keep signing, keep sharing national media picking up more on the pushback against UKA's nonsensical selection policy bbc.co.uk/sport/athletic… telegraph.co.uk/olympics/2024/…

UKA would have left Ollie Watkins at home because he didn’t make the starting XI #NEDENG

🇸🇪 Update: Athletes Emil Bengtson, Sara Lennman, Yolanda Ngarambe, Leo Magnusson, Simon Sundström and Rebecka Hallerth are filing a case against the Swedish Olympic Team in the Court of Arbitration for Sport. More details here in the GoFundMe to help back their case:

Hey guys UK. We've been locked out of our AW (verified, a business account and with over 100k followers) handle and had to submit ID to X to showcase we're older than 13. How quickly can this be resolved? We desperately need it back with the Olympics soon.

British hammer champ Jake norris throws a fine 76.93m today at the NAL in Birmingham.. which compares with the 75.25m that was needed to make the Olympic final yesterday

BRITISH RECORD It's a historic night as Lizzie Bird breaks the British record in the women's 3000m steeplechase 🇬🇧 The Brit placed 7th in the final as she clocked 9:04.35 ⚡ She breaks her own record of 9:07.87 which she set back in 2022 🔥 👉 athleticsweekly.com

KENNETH ROOKS!! This dude is gutsy. Took the lead with a lap to go and dared the best in the world to get him. On paper, he had no business to do that. But we don't run races on paper! The dude has huge balls for doing that. What a run. America is on fire!

An excellent run by Kenneth Rooks of the USA to take silver in the 3000m Steeplechase running a huge 9 sec PB. It's worth noting that he qualified via a world rankings position, just showing that anything can happen.

Why is athletics so great? Because anything might happen.. tonight Roje Stona who had made no impression previously at this level wins the discus and Kenneth rooks-- only in Paris on WA ranking as he didn't have the standard- gets steeplechase silver😮😮!!
