On this day (20 Oct) in 1964 at the Olympic Games in Tokyo, GB's Ann Packer won gold in the 800m. My photo. shows Ann breaking the tape in a WR 2.01.1. Tokyo '64 was the first of 14 consecutive summer games I covered as a photographer and the last to be held on a cinder track.

Marking out the course at John Leigh Park for a school cross-country event that has been going for half a century. Well done @AltrinchamAC 👏

Great fun talking to Daley Thompson about now being the British record holder in the decathlon for 50 years. A story of mind games, broken keyboards and so much more. Why isn’t it Sir Daley for his athletic brilliance?

The inimitable @keelyhodgkinson is the cover star for the next @AthleticsWeekly magazine.
I've spoken to both Dan Farron, Nike's VP of Apparel Innovation Product Design, and @JennyMeadows800 to understand how the speed suit project came to life over the past year.
Athletics this past summer has undergone dramatic change and it's really exciting to see apparel now part of that conversation – both in fashion and performance.
You can pre-order the October magazine (out on Oct 8) below 👇
