Times are of some significance in popular culture. After midnight is when “we let it all hang out” – according to J.J. Cale, at least. In myriad ditties the dawn heralds the beginning of a new day.

Lima, Peru; 29 August, 2024 - Inspired by Olympic champion Nina Kennedy, South Australian pole vaulter Tryphena Hewett has secured Australia’s fourth medal at the 2024 World Athletics Under 20 Championships with a breakthrough bronze as Olympic semi-finalists Torrie Lewis, Peyton Craig and Claudia Hollingsworth bolted to victories in their respective semi-finals.
A disturbing image it is, though I have no personal knowledge I hasten to add. But let me take you back to those early 20th century days.

Patrick Tiernan's journey as an athlete began in Queensland, Australia, where he discovered his talent for distance running. He gained prominence at Villanova University, winning the 2016 NCAA Cross Country Championship. Tiernan set a national record by finishing the Chevron Houston Marathon in 2:07:45, becoming the fastest Australian in an Olympic marathon. Recently, he clocked 2:10:34 in Paris, further solidifying his status as Australia's fastest marathoner at the Olympic Games.
It took until the very last event on the program for the athlete of Paris 2024 to emerge. And it took until the very last metres of the 42 thousand, 195 metres (plus a metre per kilometre to ensure there is no under-distance measurement) before it became clear Sifan Hassan was going to win the women’s marathon.
The 10,000 meters might be attenuated drama by its very nature, but 25 laps leading to a margin of victory of just one-tenth of a second? If that doesn’t raise the hairs on the back of your neck, check your vital signs.
Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone has done it again. For a third time she completed a US Trials-global championships world record double in the 400 metres hurdles in the Stade de France on Thursday night (8 August).
