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...

Whateley
Bruce McAvaney | Channel 7 Sports broadcasting Legend (03.06.26)

Look, it's up there with the best of Commonwealth Games.

Whateley
Bruce McAvaney | Channel 7 Sports broadcasting Legend (03.06.26)

It can produce moments that are as good as the Olympic Games, and that's what we're hoping can happen again in Glasgow.

Whateley
Bruce McAvaney | Channel 7 Sports broadcasting Legend (03.06.26)

They are.

Nina Kennedy on the weekend.

Whateley
Bruce McAvaney | Channel 7 Sports broadcasting Legend (03.06.26)

Yes, yeah.

Whateley

Whateley
Bruce McAvaney | Channel 7 Sports broadcasting Legend (03.06.26)

Whateley
Bruce McAvaney | Channel 7 Sports broadcasting Legend (03.06.26)

So those stories are continuing.

Whateley
Bruce McAvaney | Channel 7 Sports broadcasting Legend (03.06.26)

The next couple of weeks are really crucial, Gerard.

Whateley

I mean, we've got the Rome Diamond League in a day's time.

The American Collegiate Trials will take place next weekend, and Nketiah will be involved there.

Whateley
Bruce McAvaney | Channel 7 Sports broadcasting Legend (03.06.26)

And so will Hayley Kitching, who's a young 800-meter runner who may not get as well into the team.

Whateley
Bruce McAvaney | Channel 7 Sports broadcasting Legend (03.06.26)

Nketiah's interesting because, look, I think they'll select him in the 100 along with Kennedy, and it means the Browning will probably miss out.

Because as a party, he beat Rowan for second place behind Lockie in Sydney and then went up to the Oceanies when Rowan was sick and couldn't go and won.

Whateley
Bruce McAvaney | Channel 7 Sports broadcasting Legend (03.06.26)

So I'm not sure whether Rowan will be picked, which is going to be, you know, stunning in a way.
