Scott Morrison forcing this woman to shake his hand, then ignoring her and walking away when she tells him she doesn’t want a handshake unless he gives more funding to the RFS, is fucking disgusting - even by his low standards.

NEW WORLD RECORD
Eliud Kipchoge smashes his own marathon world record, winning the
#BerlinMarathon
in 2:01:08
Takes 31 seconds off his old record.

Bizarre keirin final, with Matthew Glaetzer having a shocker letting Jason Kenny take a huge gap before the moto even left the track.
Kenny soloed three laps for the win. Heartbreak for Awang, who finished well in second.

Arguably the best moment of the marathon was Abdi Nageeye desperately encouraging his mate Bashir Abdi in the last km
They finished second and third.
Nageeye runs for Holland, and Abdi for Belgium after they both escaped war-torn Somalia as kids

Weirdness in Sydney Grade cricket. Dave warner, on 35, just walked off the field in the middle of the over. Told the umpire “I’m removing myself from the game”. Apparently it was because of a sledge. He walked off, then came back out to bat 2 mins later.

In the greatest comeback in marathon running history, Kenenisa Bekele went from busted at 30km, to missing the world record by 2seconds.

Sounds stupid, but Andrew Symonds really was the kind of guy you expected to live forever, fishing and drinking beers and spinning yarns.
The guy swam for an hour through shark infested waters after his boat sank and lived to tell about it ffs.

Before the Te Maire Martin Warriors chat goes any further, can we just double and triple check that he realises such a deal would involve moving to New Zealand.

Really hitting home what it means for the Warriors to travel to Australia to restart the season.

just smashed the half marathon world record in Copenhagen. His unofficial time is 57:59. The first person to run under 58 mins (2:45/km). Previous record was 58:23. Madness.

Distressing news from Australia.
Former
@blackcaps
all rounder Chris Cairns has suffered a major medical emergency - an aortic dissection - in Canberra.
He is gravely ill.
I understand he is on full life support, and is set to be transferred to a specialist hospital in Sydney.
What kind of acute medical condition is serious enough to warrant not getting the vaccine, but not serious enough to stop Djokovic travelling to a country where the Covid numbers are currently spiralling out of control?

Good guy Matt Moylan.
He signed and gave away his boots to two of these kids, who were beyond stoked.
Then he signed another lad’s jersey and said “you want the rest of the boys to sign it as well?” and took him into the sheds to get it signed.

Touch of wheels and a massive crash. Hope the guy standing with his bike on the side of the road is okay. Also quick thinking from that lady with the kid.

Last year, rising MMA star Fau Vake died after a one-punch attack in Auckland. He was one of the nicest dudes you'd ever meet.
I spoke with Fau's brother James about what the last year has been like.

Atmosphere is fine, but insisting on playing finals football at suburban grounds when there are massive stadiums built for proper crowds is insane. The NRL is an unserious competition.

Steve Kearney's family live in Brisbane, so he hadn't seen his wife and kids for the entire NZ COVID lockdown PLUS the two months the side's been in Aus up to this weekend.
After all that, one bad game and he's flicked.

All Blacks legend Ma’a Nonu, wearing a throwback Illawarra Steelers jersey, with Kiwi band LAB after their show in San Diego. Quite random. Excellent, but random.
