Judging by my last post on the lengthy and time consuming process it takes to renew your Athletics coaching badge I hope somebody in England athletics picks this up and starts to address this as I clearly am not on my own.

Trying to renew my coaching license with England Athletics, they want me to resit another course full DBS (ok fine) the process is taking weeks. We clearly don’t have enough coaches in the sport and like myself choosing to volunteer my time for free surely will put people off.

For 20yrs I ate,slept and breathed athletics and appreciate everything it gave me. Today will be the first time since 2017 I’ve been in a big athletics stadium #emotional

Update on my relay run…
I managed to tear my left groin after 20m and my right after 40m I still finished and felt like I was towing a caravan. We finished third and I over took a 11yr old that boosted my ego!

Some Olympics will be forever defined by photos the organisers would have preferred not to be taken.

At least I will be able to hold my head high and say I fought for women’s sport unlike the thousands of ex sporting cowards.

I genuinely feel for these two boxers, but the fact is their genetic make up gives them an elevated level of testosterone that should mean there is no place for them to compete against women in women’s sport. The governing bodies need to sort this out.

Utterly heartbreaking hearing the Italian boxer Angela Carini in the mixed zone. Blood on her shorts.
Broke down in tears as she explained that she had never been hit so hard before.
Added that she came her to honour her father, that she was a warrior, but had to stop.
