No, it's not a re-run of the Eurovision Song Contest, though goodness knows, a dire enough tune won that.
This is Ethiopian athlete and Boston Marathon winner Dire Tune, who - at the Golden Spike athletics meeting in the Czech Republic earlier this week, ran 18.517 kilometers in one hour. Even I, with my limited numeracy, can work out that that's an average speed of... just over 18½ kilometers an hour. OK - for those of us still on pre-Napoleonic units, a shade over 11½ mph.
