The Official Athletics Thread

yup.

Very sad all round.

Seems to be a recurring thing with highly successful sportspeople and overbearing parents.

Agassi trashed his old man in his book and Tiger supposedly never got his old fella a headstone.

Surely family counselling would have been preferable to taking him to court. How do you begin to repair the kind of damage that does?
 
Really impressive from Sophie O'Sullivan. The gait may not be easy on the eye but a lot of that is due to how tall she is vs those around her. Thought her leg lift was much improved. To win NCAA's leading 'wire to wire' and running away from the field at the end is a serious display of pace & power!

Yeah,

Some very nasty stuff in the testimony.

Familial abuse aside all parties have been unbelievably pricks towards each other since. The brothers froze Gjert out of the Norwegian federation and treated Narve Nordas like shit because Gjert is his coach.

Gjert was been posting his delight when Jakob lost the 1500m on twitter

They still seem to have a relationship with the mother and live only a few doors way from the family home.

All the dirty laundry washed publicly. Why would you ever litigate
