The dread of running a fast 4k far outweighed by a perfect autumn day in Cumbernauld for #LindsaysXC. A happy day in the sun racing hard and catching up with old friends @scotathletics 💙

Great piece Matt.
My piece from Tokyo tonight on Jake Wightman and an astonishing 1500m final. Feel for Josh Kerr. Rotten luck getting that injury. But delighted for Wightman. It’s some story. https://t.co/0ufdr9X5O5

The absolute legend that is GW @WightmanGeoff. Love this 🥰😂
“Do you think it’s mostly genes?” This was the moment that @WightmanGeoff embraced @JakeSWightman after a dramatic 1500m world champs final in Tokyo 🇯🇵 @JakeSWightman secured the silver medal in 3:34.12 🥈 📹 @euancrumley Full video 👉 https://t.co/rKBMmt4mKq

I can’t even begin to imagine how emotional it will be for Jake and his team - I’m in pieces 😂😭
What a moment. After recovering from a myriad of injuries and having a lot of self-doubt, Jake Wightman is a world medallist once again. This is him celebrating with his family and friends in Tokyo. So close to gold but that will be one emotional silver medal. Couldn’t happen

High jumper Hamish Kerr has three lifetime clearances at 2.36m; one to win Olympics, one to win worlds and one to win world indoors. Brilliant competitor.
