Vanessa Low: Just Because It Hasn’t Been Done…
Vanessa Low: Just Because It Hasn’t Been Done…
In 2006, fifteen-year-old Vanessa Low left her home in Ratzeburg, Germany to go meet friends in a nearby town. It was a trip she had taken many times before. She was an adventurer, always out and about, the family’s “little butterfly” as her dad would say. But she never made it to her friends that […]
From Tokyo Turmoil to Hobart Reset: Matt Denny Sets the Tone on the Hill
From Tokyo Turmoil to Hobart Reset: Matt Denny Sets the Tone on the Hill
Six months ago, Matt Denny was sliding across a drenched throwing circle in Tokyo, part of one of the most chaotic finals in World Championships history. At the World Athletics Championships, torrential rain turned the discus ring into a dangerous spectacle. Athletes swapped shoes, taped feet, even threw in socks. Half the attempts were fouls. […]

Morgan McDonald is back where he feels most alive
Morgan McDonald is back where he feels most alive
Morgan McDonald doesn’t talk about cross country like it’s a side quest. He talks about it like it’s the original language of distance running: simple, chaotic, brutally honest, and somehow, the most fun you can have while “fighting for your life” through a mud pit. Fresh off the World Cross Country Championships in Tallahassee, McDonald […]
“Waking Up From a Good Dream”: Cooper Sherman’s 44.85 and the Ballarat surge
“Waking Up From a Good Dream”: Cooper Sherman’s 44.85 and the Ballarat surge
Cooper Sherman still sounds mildly surprised when he says it out loud. Not because he didn’t believe he could do it, but because breaking 45 seconds carries a particular weight in Australian 400m running. It’s a barrier that separates “very good” from “this is going somewhere”. Cover photo by Michael Hall for Inside Athletics On […]
Hall runs fastest 5000m by Australian on home soil as Robinson winds back the clock
Hall runs fastest 5000m by Australian on home soil as Robinson winds back the clock
Box Hill once again proved a happy hunting ground for Linden Hall, who added the 5000m at the Box Hill Burn to her list of triumphs at the “Home of PBs.” On the track where five years ago she became the first Australian to break 4 minutes for 1500m, Hall targeted the Commonwealth Games qualifying […]

Bol blazes as Perth turns up the heat
Backed by a vocal home crowd in Perth, Peter Bol delivered a performance that lifted the stadium and underlined his class. Bol, 32, delivered a two-lap masterclass in the men’s 800m, clocking 1:43.89 to break the meet record and dip under 1:44 for the fifth time in 12 months. Photos by Michael Hall for Inside […]

Rewriting the Final Act: Peter Bol’s Unfinished Story
“The challenge was to fall in love with the sport I had never fallen in love with in the first place.” Cover image by Chiara Montesano courtesy of Australian Athletics When Peter Bol saluted the crowd during the final metres of the Australian 800m final in Perth last year, we were witnessing the redemption moment […]
Jenneke sets the tone at Short Track Championships
Jenneke sets the tone at Short Track Championships
The Australian Short Track Championships may not have drawn the full depth of the nation’s elite, but those who did line up at the second edition of the meet found conditions that were far better than Melbourne’s reputation might suggest. Michelle Jenneke made the clearest of those statements, claiming the national 60m hurdles title in […]

100th Victorian Milers Club Meet sees record to Abdelrahim
Australian junior 800m champion Bob Abdelrahim ran the fastest ever two lap performance at a Victorian Milers Club meet with his runaway 1:46.48 victory at Lakeside Stadium.

Built to Rise: Izobelle Louison-Roe Emerges as Australia’s Next High Jump Star
Built to Rise: Izobelle Louison-Roe Emerges as Australia’s Next High Jump Star
Jumping has always been part of Izobelle Louison-Roe’s life. Long before podiums and qualifying standards, it was there in the backyard: sibling dares, improvised take-offs, and the kind of fearless experimentation that only kids seem to master. It followed her through gymnastics, where strength and movement were learned across every range, and later through athletics, […]

Ten Years Later, One Place Away: Ella Nelson and the Cost of Doping Done in Hindsight
When Ella Nelson pressed record on Instagram, she wasn’t trying to make a statement. She was trying to process something that had arrived ten years too late. “I’m going to lose my mind. This is a very niche experience to have,” she said. “I woke up to the news that the woman who placed in front of […]
Cameron Myers Smashes Australian 3000m Records with Electric Boston Victory
Cameron Myers Smashes Australian 3000m Records with Electric Boston Victory
Nineteen-year-old Cameron Myers has delivered the fastest 3000m ever run by an Australian, producing a stunning 7:27.57 to win the men’s 3000m at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix. The performance was significant on multiple fronts. Myers erased Ky Robinson’s 7:30.38 Australian short track record and also bettered Stewart McSweyn’s long-national 3000m record of 7:28.02 from 2020, marking a major milestone in the […]

Australia’s 2026 Commonwealth Games Selection Criteria: Smaller Team, Sharper Focus, Harder Choices
When Australia’s athletics team lines up at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, it will do so under a markedly different set of circumstances to recent editions. The setting is more intimate, the team smaller, and the selection criteria sharper than ever. Track and field will be staged at Scotstoun Stadium. Recently refreshed with a […]
