Poor woman should not have had to make a video like this. Very dignified and classy.
And poor William. Whatever your views on the Royals, he's still someone whose father and wife are very ill.
I hope people give it a rest now.

Been thinking about this year. Had 3 months of double vision caused by diabetes, laser eye surgery, diagnosed with high BP and heart disease. I'd planned to kill myself on my b'day in March. I'm only still here cos of the kindness of people to me this year. Thank you.

I'm so so so proud of Phoebe Gill. Just getting here is an astonishing achievement. Getting through one of the 3 semi finals to the 800 final is one of the toughest things to do in all of athltics. Whatever happens she's been amazing.

Leave Morgan alone folks. No one will be more upset than herself, and you lot piling on will not make her jump any higher.
Try and keep any criticisms of individual athletes constructive. Morgan is a world class athlete. Sometimes things just go wrong.
Morgan Lake does not progress to the women's high jump final after finishing 15th in qualification.

22.60 and 50.56 is one of the best British 200/400 doubles since the days of The Great Kathy Cook.
2024 Razorback Invitational
A world-leading 50.56 in the 400m for Amber Anning moves her to No. 10 on the collegiate all-time list, No. 3 British
So far this season, Anning ran 2:05.05 in 800m debut two weeks ago
Then broke British 200m record with a 22.60 yesterday

I like to think I can call Guy a good friend. The fact he's so upset is equal parts heartbreaking and enraging. That this isn't the first time it's happened to an athlete shows that the selection system needs to be restructured and made transparent.

In a race for the ages, Josh Kerr breaks the British Record to win silver in the 1500m at the Olympic Games (2:27.79). The biggest shock is who beat him, not Jakob but Cole Hocker! 3:27.65 Olympic Record. Ingebrigtsen not on the podium.
