It starts with a dream and a decision… Today Anthony Joshua defeated reigning olympic champion Roberto Cammarelle to take gold in the men’s super heavyweight boxing finals, having already beaten him the previous year in the world championships. What is fascinating and encouraging to me in equal measure is that, 4 years ago, Anthony had […]
Learn and Move On
I was surprised at the incredible bias of Steve Cram, Brendan Foster and John Inverdale, following Turkey’s Asli Cakir Alptekin’s gold medal win in the 1500m tonight. Apparently she had previously served a two-year suspension for doping after the 2004 world junior championships. Cram started the diatribe with “Well that might not be received – […]

This is great news – my advice is don’t […]
