After a long stint on the sidelines, Commonwealth 1500m champ Olli Hoare comes out of the shadows this weekend as the deepest crop of middle-distance runners in Australian history set their sights on the Paris Olympics.
Hoare's last race was at the Oslo Diamond League meet in June 2023, when he smashed the Australian 1500m record and then immediately shut down his season due to hernia and pelvis injuries.
