Last weekend was different as Jonny looked in serious trouble but as he raced away and finished in front of Alistair it was truly heartwarming.

Whilst athletes are having their data hacked and posted online revealing the TUE’s (Therapeutic Use Exemptions – I told you you’d be sick of the phrase) they have taken it can be hard to think of athletics in a positive light.

But for once, a feelgood video like this can distract us from all the harsh realities which corrupt the sporting world.

Whilst some argue that anyone would help their brother cross the line as

This is the feel-good story sport needs now
