"I've actually started wearing make-up! I've never really worn it, ever, but wanted to do something different this year. I wanted to enjoy the process of getting ready to compete." Great interview with World Indoor 400m Champion Amber Anning www.redbull.com/gb-en/thered...

From bullying and isolation to a brighter future: Tigist's journey with podoconiosis is inspiring. This disease, caused by irritant soil, robbed her of school & confidence. Thanks to treatment, she's on her way back!

It costs £52 per person to treat podo patients and set them up to continue independent selfcare. By contrast, the economic burden per patient is £100 per year. The case for treatment is clear to see.

Amazing Angelique. Keep up the great work 🙌🏾

Angelique's journey in Rwanda is a powerful reminder of the impact of stigma & the hope that treatment can bring. Developing podo at 17, she faced isolation until finding help at the Mulindi Treatment Centre. Now, she's a champion, educating her community!

RELOADING! Two months into her new pro training programme, Nike athlete Amber Anning drops a smooth 22.94s 200m at the @razorbacktf.bsky.social Invitational. The only @britishathletics.bsky.social women to have run faster indoors are Amber herself (22.60s) & Katharine Merry (22.83s).

Marleidy, absolutely! She took her foot off the brake four meters before she crossed the line in the Olympic final; otherwise, she'd have run sub-48.

Mel Anning @melanatural.bsky.social · Jan 16

Amber's last 600m was a 1.44.7 as a 12-year-old. Whatever happens, it should be a PB!
