My father doesn’t ask for help from just anyone. And yet he asked for mine. He believed in me

My dad and I believe in many of the same things: cheesecake; the Geelong football club; my mum. And that we should immediately be experts at anything. First try. No practice. No revision.

He taught me this in kindergarten. Every day he pushed me to be brilliant. We played spelling games in the car and did maths workbooks for fun. Before I started school I had “published” a library of my own books, complete with copyright information. I had become – and I’m assuming this is true of most Guardian writers – a precocious kid who irritated everyone around her by being boisterously, aggressively right about everything all of the time. Just like my dad. (Obviously I’ve grown a lot since then.)

On a quiet street in western Sydney, Farhana Laffernis races her curious English staffy and boisterous three-year-old daughter in the front door.

Inside, her three-year-old wears a pink tutu and excitedly babbles as she cuddles her toy doll. The family life Laffernis has built did not come easy.

• Fiery Diamond League comments partially walked back

• On Hocker: ‘Cole and I talked it through after the race’

The double Olympic champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen has issued a part-apology for calling his rivals “losers” and a “bunch of cowards” after a spicy men’s 1500m Diamond League final on Friday.

However, Ingebrigtsen has continued to maintain that he was still right to accuse the Olympic 1500m champion Cole Hocker of cowardice – because he asked for a strong pace and swapped in his own pacemaker only to then hide behind others in the race.

The French-size problem at the heart of the EU.

BRUSSEL (ANP) - Femke Broeders-Bol (26) is bij haar eerste finale van de Diamond League op de 800 meter tweede geworden. In het Koning Boudewijnstadion in Brussel noteerde de Nederlandse 1.54,81. Audrey Werro, de Europees kampioene uit Zwitserland, was nipt sneller en won in 1.54,75. Saida Tsehaye uit Ethiopië werd derde: 1.57,57.

Broeders-Bol won de voorgaande vijf edities de Diamond League-finale op haar oude discipline, de 400 meter horden. Eind vorig jaar maakte ze de keuze om over te stappen naar de dubbele afstand zonder obstakels.

Op de 800 meter heeft ze al in haar eerste seizoen aansluiting gevonden met de absolute top. Vorige maand maakte ze haar EK-debuut met een bronzen medaille. In de finale evenaarde ze het Nederlandse record waarmee Ellen van Langen op de Spelen van Barcelona in 1992 goud won (1.55,54). Bij de daaropvolgende Diamond Leagues scherpte ze die toptijd afgelopen weken tot twee keer toe aan: in Lausanne klokte ze 1.55,41, in Zürich dook ze daar nog ruim een halve seconde onder met 1.54,71.
