  • Ed Warner: Fear of losing to the Poms may get Australian sport its extra A$2bn

    Opinion

    As an English sports fan it’s always fun when others cite your nation as their greatest rivals when they wouldn’t make your own top three.

  • Ed Warner on the sporting year that was

    December 22, 2022

    And so we reach the end of a year of sporting excess, or at least an excess of sport. Sunday’s FIFA World Cup Final was the calorific dessert that may well have caused you to come over all Mr Creosote, exploding under the temptation of just one more dish of must-see sporting competition.

    September 22, 2022

    The track season is behind us and athletic thoughts now turn to autumn marathons. Berlin, renowned world record course, this Sunday. London and then Chicago within a fortnight.
