Topically, may Princes St always be treated to this funky chicken instead of the bloody pipes. Are we mourning a fallen clan? Are we skirling through a Gay Gordons? No we are not.

Can we celebrate my excellent choices in decathlon calendar candidate selection - May and November 2025 take gold and silver at the EU23 champs.
Not quite as 🔮 as selecting Markus Rooth for August 2024, the month he won Olympic gold, but still 💅🏻

Norway now have three current 8000k+ decathletes.
Jonathan Hertwig-Ødegaard just landed 8002 placing 4th at the EU23 champs, two years after Markus Rooth and Sander Skotheim ran riot at the 2023 champs in Espoo
And I’m sure Martin Roe (now coaching Danish multis) could knock out 8k if pressed

A good old-fashioned wallow in nostalgia,” my AW editor mused, as we pondered how to set the scene for the 50th anniversary of Götzis. “The roll of honour. How influential it’s been through the years. Can you do 1500 words?”
1500 words (and 6 pages) of gorgeous wallowing on Götzis? Count me in.

Big fan of giving mascots useful things to do. This one went to Lidl and got Simon Ehammer’s snacks for later.
