Really enjoyed sitting down with @Gerard_OD_ this week. One of the most straight-talking coaches in Irish sport. Spoke about the sprint boom, the specifics of funding and making it work. https://t.co/hCu6TxwaCK

There's a value to coaching elite athletes - and a cost. In Ireland the latter is often unsustainable. Fascinating to chat to Jeremy Lyons on his 16 years coaching high-level sprinters, and why he's stepping away to focus on grassroots. https://t.co/wrWCb1jfmU

@McClenaghanRhys And here's the piece on Tommy Hughes, one of the most remarkable athletes and people you could meet.

And massive thanks to @McClenaghanRhys and Tommy Hughes for being so open about their stories. And to those who showed their support in Budapest last year when I wrote the below piece on doping questions in athletics. The three featured pieces for this year's award are below.

Many thanks to all who sent messages on this, and a huge thanks to the sports editors at the Independent, Examiner & Sunday Independent for their backing and willingness to give athletics and other Olympic stories a proper airing. Much appreciated🙏

This was a quantum leap, not just for Chepngetich but for endurance running as a whole. But was it too much to believe? How fast is too fast?
