Middle distance runner could not hide his disappointment after being knocked out of the 1500m then facing social media abuse during Paris 2024
Oliver Hoare and Australia teammates were bundled out of the men’s 1500m in the repechage round at Stade de France during Paris 2024.Oliver Hoare and Australia teammates were bundled out of the men’s 1500m in the repechage round at Stade de France during Paris 2024.Middle distance runner Olli Hoare has seven phones shoved in his face, in the interview room underneath the Stade de France. He coughs a bit, asks for water, tries to compose himself. It’s hard because he is out.
One journalist tries to reassure him, says he’s not a disappointment. Then asks him to elaborate. “I just don’t feel confident, I’ve ran two 3:31s , won a Diamond League, I still have no confidence. I don’t know what’s going on.” The profile photo on Hoare’s now inactive Instagram account is the athlete with his three-year-old pet Angus. But the trolls still come for him. “They’re just DMs, direct messages,” Hoare says. “I had to delete some comments on a post that was actually just a post of my girlfriend, and they were kind of mean about that as well.”
