One was Philbert Baye, you know, running from the front in 1974 and breaking the 1,500-meter world record, which, you know, no one could believe at the time.

And then, of course, the Miracle Mile in 1954.

Landy went to Finland and smashed that record, got it down to 3.57.9 in June, I think, and then they met in that race for the ages in Vancouver in 1954.

French Open's right at the heart of it, so to speak, quarterfinal time, and what a tournament that's been.

Whateley
Whateley - Wednesday | Full Show (03.06.26)

Footy's at that, you know, sort of beautiful middle stage, and we know that we're going to have a remarkable weekend coming up, concluding on Monday and then next Wednesday when we say farewell to New Danaher.
