The Republican politician’s comments came four days after Kirk – a critic of gay and transgender rights – was shot to death from a distance with a rifle during an event at Utah Valley University while speaking with a student about mass shootings in the US and trans people.

We’re back watching footage of the 100m heats; goodness me, Julien Alfred looks immense, a classic example of an athlete who wins something when not quite expecting to, then becomes a million times better as a consequence. Consider also: France after the 1998 World Cup.
