Appearances
One was Philbert by, you know, running from the front in 1974 and breaking the 1,500-metre wall.
You know, no one could believe at the time.
And then, of course, the Miracle Mile in 1954.
I think, you know, part of the Commonwealth Games fame does go back to Landy and Bannister and that incredible race in 1954.
And, you know, Bannister had been the first to break the four-minute mile in May.
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, so...
Look, it's up there with the best of Commonwealth Games.
It can produce moments that are as good as the Olympic Games, and that's what we're hoping can happen again in Glasgow.
They are.
Nina Kennedy on the weekend.
Yes, yeah.
Goes back to the Diamond League and wins.
And now is going to be the favourite of the Commonwealth Games.
And the pole vault's going to be very strong at the Commonwealth.
So those stories are continuing.
The next couple of weeks are really crucial, Gerard.
I mean, we've got the Rome Diamond League in a day's time.
Oslo is not far away where Gaut makes his debut in Europe this season.
the American Collegiate Trials will take place next weekend, and Nketiah will be involved there.
And so will Hayley Kitching, who's a young 800-meter runner who may not get as well into the team.
