Breaking news - the lanes for the A-finals have been redrawn into echelon (winners in lanes 1-2 not central) by the Fairness Commission. This is usually due to expectations of very cross wind in medal races.

For those who have been following @petereed you'll know of his tragedy but also the fortitude and resilience the guy is showing. A true inspiration. I/we can't do much to help him now, but in the future he will need us in more ways than supportive words. gofundme.com/f/pete-reed-sup…

It’s D-Day for WADA, the organisation I was once so proud to represent.There’s a clear message today: maintain Russia non compliance and we stay with you or reinstate Russia and you’ve lost the confidence of world’s athletes forever #NoUTurnWADA @wada_ama @lindacath @beckiescott4
