.World Athletics Athletics Kenya Terrible terrible news about Kelvin Kiptum. A glittering career awaited him. Barring injury in the lead up, I believe he would have run Sub 2 in Rotterdam this April. A young Lion of African sport taken far far too early. May he rest in peace.x

.⁦Weekender⁩ Tonnes going on last 2 months away from TV. Delighted to do a reflection piece for RP after working on Cheltenham Festival. A great event for the Glos economy & people. Will try & remember to post a bit more ahead of the Crucible! racingpost.com/news/opinion/c…

.⁦WST⁩ Bloody love this City. Great memories over the last 17 years & the big one is upon us once again. The 28 day shift has begun!!!

.⁦WST⁩ Perfect way to start a stunning day in Sheff. 6 miles by the canal. Let’s do this. 👊🏻

.KVWales Kate. May I say what a pleasure it was to meet you & your husband here in Sheffield. Your dignity, courage & zest for every day has left a mark on all of us here at the Crucible. The very best wishes for your continuing treatment. Carpe Diem.x

.⁦WST⁩ Amazing effort from Jak Jones. Never gave up & turned that into a truly compelling final . And what an incredible night for the Wilsons. One of the nicest families you could ever meet. It shd be quite a party in Sheff tonight. Privilege to have been here.👊🏻

Busy couple of months, but always time for a Father & Son Run & Ride, esp today. Wonderful Sunday with the heir. But also sending thoughts to all Dads who woke up this AM with only memories of their little stars taken far too early. PH you are a Lion of a man. One day at a time.x

.AW EnglishSchoolsAA Always important to remember how & where you started in a sport. Warming up for Paris by giving a day of my time to commentate on Eng Schools. Vital breeding ground for so many of our Greats. Rosie Tinbergen and I are ready to go. Can’t wait. 👊🏻

.EnglishSchoolsAA English schools is the lifeblood of our Sport. To see the purity of commitment from those kids was superb. I wouldn’t be doing what I am without grassroots Athletics or Snooker. So excited now for Paris. Feel like the 9 year old I was in 84 watching LA! Come on!

.⁦⁦Hachette Children's Group⁩ Never thought I’d get the chance to write a Book, let alone work with 4 Time Olympic Medalist ⁦Becky Adlington⁩ Real labour of love this & as far as I know, it’s the most comprehensive Children’s book written on the Games. It’s almost showtime! 👊🏻

.⁦AW⁩ Thanks for the article Tim. Excitement building ahead of the Games. Just arrived in Slovakia for the Euro U18. Shd be a great week before heading to France! athleticsweekly.com/blog/rob-walke…

.⁦European Athletics⁩ The unadulterated joy of the next generation of Athletes. Fantastic week at the Euro U18. Slovakians did a great job. Absolutely loved it. Now enroute to Paris for the big one. So excited I feel like I’m 9 again.

.⁦The Sun⁩ Delighted to be asked to do a preview for The Sun before I left for Paris & donate 20 books to be given away. Atmos out here is building by the minute!

.⁦Trans World Sport⁩ Enjoyed doing this for ⁦IMG⁩ with the always upbeat ⁦Rachel Stringer⁩. They asked us to do a trip down Transworld Sport Olympic memory lane. I can remember watching some of the features they included first time round! youtube.com/playlist?list=…

Cannot wait to get on air. This is going to be utterly epic. Multiple World Records over the next 10 days. I honestly believe this is the best assembled global field of Athletes we’ve seen for more than a decade. Let the greatest Athletics show on earth commence.

⁦.⁦Paris 2024⁩ Take a bow Paris. Take a bow. Absolutely incredible Olympics. Best Athletics at a Games since - and equal to - London 2012. An honour to be in Stade de France every day. But time to down the Stats for 12 days before returning for the Paras. Sleep beckons!

.⁦Tusker Lite Rwenzori Marathon⁩ Good luck to everyone doing 1 of the best half marathons in the world this w-e. I LOVED running this last yr. OG & Paralympics the only reason I’m not there. I’ll be back in 25. ⁦Amos Wekesa⁩ & team have a world class event on their hands. 🇺🇬🇬🇧

.⁦Channel 4⁩ Opening ceremony is upon us! A brilliant 12 days await. Privilege to be here. Absolutely roasting in Paris tonight

.⁦NTV UGANDA⁩ ⁦I’ve witnessed great progress in East Africa over last 20 yrs. Stunning part of World with amazing people. But the treatment of successful female athletes by jealous husbands/b-friends must now be addressed.This is utterly appalling thetimes.com/world/africa/a…
