A run in the sun around the Shire. So nice to have had 10 nights in my own bed after an incredible Summer for OBS on the Olympics & @Channel4 on the Paras. Just about to rejoin all my snooker mates for Eng Open in Essex & British Open in Cheltenham. Can’t wait to see you all! 👊🏻

.@ntvuganda I’ve witnessed great progress in East Africa over last 20 yrs. Stunning part of World with amazing people. But the treatment of successful female athletes by jealous husbands/b-friends must now be addressed.This is utterly appalling

.@HachetteKids Never thought I’d get the chance to write a Book, let alone work with 4 Time Olympic Medalist @BeckAdlington Real labour of love this & as far as I know, it’s the most comprehensive Children’s book written on the Games. It’s almost showtime! 👊🏻

.@SchoolAthletics English schools is the lifeblood of our Sport. To see the purity of commitment from those kids was superb. I wouldn’t be doing what I am without grassroots Athletics or Snooker. So excited now for Paris. Feel like the 9 year old I was in 84 watching LA! Come on!.
@robwalkertv @SchoolAthletics @AthleticsWeekly @RosieTimlock Fantastic commentary from you both today. As well as inspiring the athletes of the future it made watching from home for those of us who couldn't be there very special. Thank you.
