Linden Hall seems to have had the better of time just lately.
Approaching her 35th birthday, Hall shows no signs of a performance drop-off. Established as a world-class 1500 metres performer with a sixth place at the Tokyo Olympics and being the first Australian woman under four minutes, she continues...

Riseley competed in the 2008, 2012, and 2016 Olympic Games. Now he stands just 0.14 of a second away from his fourth Games; kudos to the big man from Victoria - taking 800m longevity to the next level.
