Stuart was in Rome for the Diamond League Athletics on 4 June. With no Oxford athletes competing, there was no Oxford Mail writing but towards 20 known Christian athletes to encourage. Last night there was an athlete Bible Study.

All we need is a few more spectators


The pre-event press conference featured a number of well known athletes.

A thoughtful Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce!


And an animated Blanka Vlasic


Not sure who got the worse deal - Blanka having to be photographer with Romeo...

or Shelly-Ann having to be interviewed by Pete Matthews??


Santiago, head of Church and Sport came to the hotel and Stuart was able to introduce him to hurdler Tiffany Porter.
