IOC spox Adam on Kamila Valieva: "What is clear is we want to expedite this as quickly as possible, it’s a legal issue & they can be complicated. For all concerned, not just the Russian athlete, we need a resolution & we are working as fast as we can to get that." #FigureSkating

Adam Peaty just lowered his 100m breaststroke world record in a world semi final. And it wasn’t on television. Absolutely bonkers.

So it ain't so. I can't tell you how much I'm going to miss working with my award night buddy. His list of achievements running our Manchester office cannot be listed in 280 characters but there are journalists on every back page & home page in the UK who he continues to inspire.

"No athlete should be prevented from competing because of their passport." An existential crisis for Olympic sport. German athletes missed Paris 1924 due to WWI and Germany and Japan were not invited to 1948. There is a firm precedent that the IOC are ignoring.
