Leigh Hoffman gets Australia’s sole medal - a bronze - at the Hong Kong World Cup event in the sprint.
Matt Richardson scary fast to win his second World Cup gold of the year.
Always nice to watch some track cycling of a Sunday night too - the Madison was amazing.

Didn’t get the win but a solid hug at the end made up for it.
4-3 though, cracking game.
Supporting our new lodger, Anna Rockett, tonight. 🚀
Caboolture vs The Gap 🐊 - Kappa Pro Series.
Some Brisbane 2032 stuff this morning.
A founding sponsor revealed six years out is a big milestone.
But there’s still a lot of work to do.
Rebecca Henderson won her 13th national cross country title in a row earlier this year.
She knows the time will come when someone will take her green and gold bands off her. And she’s ready for that to happen. Almost.
My two-cents worth on Gout Gout's incredible 200m run, which deserves equal measures of praise and patience.
Of all the amazing moments in last night’s #ParisRoubaix men’s race, this one stuck with me this morning.
Mathieu van der Poel going straight to Wout van Aert to congratulate him on his win.
No doubt disappointed after a mad race, but was still able to acknowledge his eternal rival. Chapeau. 👏
Omg and he’s dedicated the win to Michael Goolaerts’ memory.
Goolaerts, a fellow Belgian, died following a cardiac arrest during the 2018 #ParisRoubaix race.
Damn, there must be something in my eye…
This is absolutely amazing. What a race.
#ParisRoubaix
This race man. This damn race.

Had the pleasure of talking to Jono Ridler after his epic, 90-day, 1,367km Swim4TheOcean down the east coast of New Zealand’s north island.
It’s a big read, but theirs is a big topic to get across.

Poolside again tonight.

I may have spent most of yesterday playing with puppies instead of watching the swimming.
It was worth it.

Lots of fun and frivolity (and bugs) in the pool today.
Great evening at the #AustralianOpen swimming championships.
Australian Open swimming championships - night one.
Molly, KC, Kaylee and Sam.
Lani, Bailey, Shayna and Meg.
Solid performances all round ahead of a busy 2026.

That was pretty special.
Another incredible race between two of the best to ever do it.

Pogačar is phenomenon.
Van der Poel, valiantly unwilling and unable to accept defeat.

There are few things more thrilling than seeing the very best in the world trade blows on the most storied climbs in cycling. #RVV26
Loved talking to Sam Williamson ahead of the #AustralianOpen swimming this week - such an impressive guy whose has to deal with a frankly awful injury over the past year.
Looking forward to seeing him back to his best on the Gold Coast.

Phenomenal read, this.
Covers an awful lot of ground and does so in a very digestible way.
A tough blow to cop for the Aussie Stingers as star player Luke Pavillard pledges his future allegiance to Croatia.
I was so impressed with Kristina Clonan when I spoke to her this week.
She has had a really rough run of it with injuries but, instead of wallowing, she’s spent the time elevating others, setting up a scholarship that rising road star Amelie Sanders won.
Oh, and she likes bobsleigh too. Epic.
Great wins for Leigh Hoffman and Alessia McCaig in the keirin last night.
With Japanese professional keirin opening up to foreign riders for the first time since COVID, you’d have to think both riders would be high on the list for a possible invite if they keep their form high.
#TrackNats
Another great night, with two thrilling keirin races and two immensely tactical scratch races.

Track cycling again tonight… Good crowd too.
Great to see some rainbow bands on the boards as well.
#TrackNats
Terrific atmosphere.
Great, entertaining contest as the Broncos beat the Dolphins in front of 45,882 fans.
