Exactly how this happened involves everything from luck (a critical mass of genetic lottery winners) to geography (the gifted gathering in clusters), access to expertise (through a decentralised coaching model) and ever-expanding pathways (such as US university programs), as well as improved shoe technology, shifts in the economics of running, a growing online community of athletes and a new era of data-sharing. Not to mention inspiration from retired outliers like Craig Mottram.
Mottram, of course, challenged the established Kenyan dominance in middle-distance running two decades ago, beating reigning Kenyan world champion Benjamin Limo, for instance, to a silver medal at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne. Now the man they used to call “The Big Mzungu” leads Peyton Craig and other jets as coach of the On Athletics Club Oceania. [ see 2nd tweet below about Peyton's 800m qualifier 2 days ago]
“But that choice has gotta come from somewhere,” says Mottram, who runs a coaching business that helps scoop up such precocious athletes. “The ability has probably always been there, but a lot of the best talent ended up in other sports because we didn’t have the mechanisms in place to capture and develop it. We do now.”

Running, he says, is still the broadest participation sport on earth, but more Australians choosing to compete is making a big difference. Craig, for example, was also a junior swimming champion and triathlete before settling on athletics a year ago, while Mottram’s star runner, Claudia Hollingsworth, 19 – who was just selected for the Paris Olympics in the 800m – chose running over a potential AFLW career.
“But that choice has gotta come from somewhere,” says Mottram, who runs a coaching business that helps scoop up such precocious athletes. “The ability has probably always been there, but a lot of the best talent ended up in other sports because we didn’t have the mechanisms in place to capture and develop it.

Hi All,
Obviously we all read about the women's marathon selection drama and whilst it's good everyone wants to move on. However if you want hear what actually happened, the 3 women selected, Sinbad Diver, Genevieve Gregson, and Jess Stenson do a weekly podcast called En route to Paris. It is produced by the team that does the For the kudos podcasts.
The first episode they go through what happened, the appeals, the document that Lisa Weightmans team produced as part of the appeal.
It is interesting to hear what actually happened with the appeals process and what all the girls were put through. Although the document was mainly targeted at Stenson, it also had a crack at the other 2 as well.
From listening to the girls a few things come to mind.
1. Lachlan McArther (Lisa's husband) is definitely a dick but it would seem like it might not be all him. I reckon there's more going on in Lisa's camp around the personal attacks.
2. Sally Pearson's article was clearly based on hearsay and she has no actual knowledge of what went on.
3. Stenson is all class about how she went about this and handled the process.

A follow up to my too much sport is barely enough according to H.G. Nelson, but too much athletics is bloody hard to keep up with. Thanks Angus for doing the weekend summary.

Luke Boyes, I saw him at nationals in Adelaide, just missed out on a Qualifying Time 1.44.73 when a 1.44.70 is the standard.
Two of Oz athletes who did the qualifier did it July last year and Bol was given a selection place at the nationals. Boye's world ranking points gets him into the Olympics but young 20 year old Peyton Craig did a stunning auto qualifier 1.44.12 on the weekend and I posted tweets about him above.
The selectors have a tough decision to make about which of the 2 other slots are allocated to.
From Road to Paris rankings page on World Athletics site.
worldathletics.org
Boyes' run tomorow morning and at moment is safe to be selected if they don't go with Deng, as 48 competitors for the 800m in Paris.

Are they still doing duel flag bearers? Who do we think will get the honour?
My tip is Fox for the women. Emma McKeon would be a chance but would they go swimmers in consecutive Olympics? Not sure about the men; I’ll have a further think.

Fox for the women given the French heritage connection.
For the men I reckon it might be a toss up between two 4 time Olympians.
Matthew Glaetzer from track cycling, beat thyroid cancer to get to Tokyo, then injuries post Tokyo, but won 2022 Team Sprint gold at world champs. Hasn't won a medal but has finished 4th or 5th at least 3 times, but I think its 4 maybe 5 times.
Equestrian Shane Rose has won 2 silvers and a bronze. Wore the orange mankini during a fancy dress showjumping event about 5 months ago and was going to be banned from Olympic selection, but sanity prevailed, then secured Olympic qualification and a bit over 3 months ago had a terrible accident, 625kg horse fell on top of him and he broke over a dozen bones. This story was on 7.30 the other night.
Amazing comeback. Stunned his orthopaedic surgeon. First ride back last weekend he only knocked off 1 rail. Next week he finds out if he has made the team.

9 have announced their commentators and schedules for Paris. I've bolded commentators that I reckon have done good jobs in the past and have enjoyed listening to. It says 9Now will be streaming everything in HD on over 40 channels.
No idea how that is different to Stan? Maybe the 8 international broadcasters option is the only difference. Unless Stan is live and 9Now has the event in full but delayed?
www.olympics.com.au
As we officially enter the Olympic month of July, Australia’s Home of the Olympics, the 9Network, today reveals its full schedule, as well as its hosting and superstar commentator and expert line-up for Paris 2024.
Nine’s coverage begins the week leading into the Opening Ceremony on Monday, July 21, with Today, A Current Affair and 9News broadcasting from Paris - and an Olympic special presentation Let The Games Begin, screening on Wednesday, July 24 on Channel 9 and 9Now.
Following the special, competition kicks off with the Men’s Rugby Sevens and the Men’s Football, both screening from 11.00pm AEST. The following night the Matildas start their Olympic medal campaign.
The 9Network’s 24 hour coverage of the Olympic Games starts early on Saturday, July 27 with the Opening Ceremony beginning at 3am AEST and won’t stop until the Closing Ceremony on Monday, August 12. The two week broadcast will come live from Nine’s state-of-the-art Trocadero studio opposite the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
With 9Now streaming every moment of every event free and in full HD across more than 40 dedicated channels, viewers will experience 24/7 Olympics coverage across Channel 9HD and 9GemHD by Australia’s most accomplished television hosting team:
The lineup includes Cate Campbell, Ian Thorpe, Giaan Rooney, Ellie Cole, Mat Thompson and Roz Kelly taking viewers poolside to be alongside every stroke of what is considered one of Australia’s strongest ever swim teams.
Track and Field events will be led by Gerard Whateley - who will be the 9Network’s voice of athletics - alongside Tamsyn Lewis-Manou, Olympic gold medalist pole vaulter Steve Hooker, Dave Culbert, Olympic four-time gold medalist sprinter Michael Johnson and Tony Jones.
As Team Australia competes through the two week event, viewers will feel they have a front row seat to every moment guided by renowned experts and commentators Cadel Evans, Andrew Gaze, Phil Liggett, Kerri Pottharst, James Tomkins, Sam Fricker, Scott McGrory, Kate Bates, Caroline Buchanan, Mitch Tomlinson, Ryan Williams, Nick Boserio, Georgie Parker, Richard Fox, Andy Raymond, Todd Woodbridge, Drew Mitchell, Sera Naiqama, Grace Gill, Emma Snowsill, Will McCloy, Brenton Speed, Peter Psaltis, Adam Papalia, Russell Mark, Sean Maloney, Annabelle Williams, Matt Hill, Will Davies, Mark Taylor, Sophie Smith, Shane McInnes, and Jenna O’Hea.

Does Stan broadcast everything in 4k Ultra HD or just sports? as that would chew up bandwidth and server capacity.

Nine more people selected for Paris today. That gets to 333 officially. Athletics should add another 40 to 50 later this week.
Wiki's Australia at the 2024 Summer Olympics page has Oz team at 426 as that includes teams qualified and some spots in individual sports qualified but athletes haven't been named by those sports yet.
In Athletics they have 47 who have done auto qualifying times/distances. So far 20 have been selected and are part of the 333 figure and the final number selected will include those who haven't done the automatic qualifier but get in via world rankings positions should be in the 60 to 70 range.
If the Paris Olympics wiki page is say 95% accurate for number of competitors for each nation, then Oz will have the 3rd biggest team with the current top 10 count being;
USA 590, France 555, Oz 426, Germany 396, Japan 385, China 378, Spain 356, Italy 354.Great Britain 311, Canada 298.
Oz for many decades now, has benefited from having teams in teams sports, selected as a representative of Oceania region, whereas some Euro nations who are ranked higher, sometimes a lot higher, don't make it because European nations might only be allocated 2, 3 or 4 slots in sports that only have 12 teams.
