Boxing Australia is in chaos with chief executive Dinah Glykidis quitting following the departure of national integrity manager Kelly Loakes and the absence of high-performance manager Jonathan Hall.

On top of that, the organisation is still without a head coach following the resignation of Santiago Nieva last December.

The drama has come just weeks out from the Commonwealth Games which start on July 23.

Adelaide Thunderbirds have won the 2026 Super Netball Grand Final, defeating the Melbourne Vixens 61-40

It’s the second time the Thunderbirds won the Super Netball grand final in Melbourne.

Do the Thunderbirds play the TV series theme at all at their games? Do they use the phrase Thunderbirds are GO?

Just minutes after the 33-year-old Belgian had surged to victory in the 180km run from Perigueux to Bergerac with a stunning dash for the line, ASO announced that Sunday’s ninth stage would be changed because of a red alert in the central Correze region.

ASO have shaved 30km off the 185.5km stage from Malemort to Ussel, cutting out a hilly loop at the beginning of the stage.

It is not the first time that organisers have made changes to a stage, even at this year’s race.

But this is the first time that it has been done because of the heat. Back in May, ASO had decided to shorten the Tour’s second stage in Spain by 13.5km due to an outbreak of swine flu detected on a hill included in the original route.

I was there in the stadium. Amazing atmosphere.

One thing that raised my eyebrows, Kerr had a pacer light on the inside of the track showing him how far off the world record he was. surely that cannot be legal for setting a new world record?

Wavelight is legal.

Doesn’t sit comfortably with me

Oh well let’s can it then if it doesn’t sit well with you

I think @VictorianSun does have a point though to a degree. I know you’re just trying to be funny, but it doesn’t always come across that way and can appear to be mocking at times.

I’ve followed track and field for my entire life. So it was more the way he said it, which admittedly I found amusing,

He 1) didn’t think it could be legal then when he was told it was, then 2) said it didn’t sit well with him.

Pace setting has been legal in marathons for eons, the lights on track began being used in the 80s I think but the wave light are the newest system and clearly legal in official meets. It’s common place in the sport.

He’s entitled to his opinion but the indignation that it couldn’t be legal then his response that it didn’t sit well with him was more what I found amusing. Apologies if it didn’t come across that way.
