Welcome to our latest Horizons round-up.
As another challenging year approaches its conclusion, we continue to admire and appreciate the resilience of our members and their colleagues, while still managing to provide some lighter moments. We can relate to this tweet about life in general https://twitter.com/DShadowgazer/status/1449065674840629262 and we always appreciate a medical joke https://twitter.com/LadyInterlocks/status/1447890051526918145
Hands up who can view this clip without a mix of respect and wincing at the future of the athlete’s knees? https://twitter.com/CoachNickNewman/status/1447676089384439808
And if that has made you feel tired just to watch, you’ll relate to those moments when an extra hour of sleep seems like the ultimate gift https://twitter.com/britishswimming/status/1454538619578892293
