Another little nugget of context to last nights @rhasidatadeleke silver medal winning performance 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨
Rhasidat Adeleke's time of 49.07 last night would have won gold at the 2016, 2012, 2008, 2004 and 2000 Olympics and silver at the last Games in Tokyo.

A great Irish poet and singer left us today. She was beautiful, courageous and wore her heart on her sleeve. She was before her time. Nothing will ever compare to Sinéad O’Connor. Rest easy Sinéad.

A one minute silence is held at the Free Derry Corner for George Floyd who died on Monday when a Minneapolis police officer held him down and placed his knee on his neck, resulting in his death. #Derry

A man was lynched. In broad daylight. In public. In America. In 2020. And the men responsible have not been arrested. We will not stay quiet.

One of the greatest privileges of my life was that I was on shift on BBC World that day - this was our show. Behind the scenes were were all screaming at our monitors, blind with tears of laughter, completely incapable of saying or doing anything for a full ten minutes.
As we approach the end of the decade, let’s remember the best TV moment of the 2010s:

Tonight a door was opened and I could not be more grateful to have been the one to have walked through it. May every little girl who witnessed this moment forever believe in the power of her dreams and may they see their faces reflected in mine. I am #MissUniverse2019.
