Just spoken to @KyrenWilson for @talkSPORT after his #WorldSnookerChampionship victory. An emotional night for him as he was joined by his children for the trophy presentation and watched by his parents who re-mortgaged their house to support his career. Fantastic story.
It wasn’t a fair review as The Hundred was not allowed to be discussed/considered, a tournament that loses money, shows supreme bias to new fans over established ones, and utilises the George Lazenby of formats
He is absolutely spot on .. The Strauss high performance review was perfect .. For some reason this new ECB board decided to ignore the findings from a well qualified group of sporting experts ..

'Everyone's got a price,' says Barry Hearn, displaying a ludicrous lack of nuance about life. I've known people throughout my life to take pay cuts or even different jobs with far lower pay for satisfaction or moral reasons. That's the 'real world' I've known.

My Guardian column is on the legacy of Sir Roger Bannister's epic run, 70yrs ago today, when he became the first man to go under four minutes for the mile. “It is arguably at the top of all sporting achievements in the last 100 years," Seb Coe told me. theguardian.com/sport/article/…

In 1981, a non-descript, small bungalow on the edge of Norwich, 5 minutes from my house, welcomed a new tenant. The people living here now are likely oblivious to the significance of this bungalow, sitting among other identical houses in this small cul-de-sac. The new guy…
Our new pooch, Rafa, graduates from doggy obedience training this week - she has been the star of her class, we think (we could be biased) - she's the one in front in the pix. And yes, she is named after the greatest tennis player of all-time (OMHO).
@pbarkersport @WorldRowing If there's going to be racing in triremes, we'd better recruit Boris Rankov, who was Rowing Master of the Olympias some years ago.

#Olympics For anyone who used to follow Olympedia.org, if the IOC hadn't decided to cancel our contract there would be over 123000 photographs of Olympians on there by now. Out of 186000 Olympians
@pbarkersport @MJGold One of the reasons people loved 200 and 400m was due to Michaels dominance. I remember dad said we had to watch the 200m in 1996 because Johnson could beat the world record. And the way he did it was insane. You cant say 200m is as interesting without Bolt or Johnson.
This is a problem for pole vault. WRs get attention because they’re usually special. The guy breaking them doesn’t make it feel special. Competition gets attention. He has no competition. The problem IS NOT HIS FAULT, but it’s a problem.
"It's been pretty chill. Nothing too much out of the ordinary" Only 🇸🇪Mondo Duplantis can be so casual about breaking a world record 😂
Countries like USA and UK have always had selective memories about their own country’s involvements in drug scandals and the subsequent cover ups to protect star names. A piece I wrote on this subject more than 20 years ago amp.theguardian.com/sport/2003/apr…
Would be nice if the media could keep some balance, context & perspective in their reporting. WADA decision clearly struggles to pass the 'red face test', but then some of those protesting loudest might also struggle.
One in school .. one poorly .. as it’s the teenager off I am not expecting to see him all day .. apart from when he ventures out of his lair for food ..
One of the issues , I think, is that everyone knows in the country protesting so loudly about this is that there is rampant drug abuse in professional sports that they can do nothing about and is home to a shoe company behind some of the biggest doping scandals in history.
Do as I say, not as I do… The righteous calls from the “clean West” will only get louder, while the rest of the world watches from the sidelines… #gettingmypopcorn
