It is a sad day for me, given my own long-term involvement in the sport of walking, to have to report that there won't be any more 50km walks in the Olympics. Obviously we leave it with great memories, and it is great to see the media acknowledging Jesus for his history in the event (see also the BBC report here).
I'd like to request some privacy for me and my family as I'll be taking some time to think through my own future sporting options.
