The legendary presenter of Sports Bruce McAvaney should join SBS to direct the coverage of the network of the World Athletics Championships 2025 in Tokyo.
The 71 -year -old man, who worked on 12 summer Olympic games and several world athletics championships, started working on television in 1978 before going to Moscow to call his first summer games.
During his distinguished career, Mcavaney would call epic moments in the history of sport, including the last record race for Carl Lewis at the 1991 world championships, as well as the triumph of the 400m from Cathy Freeman to Sydney in 2000.
After working as a sports presenter for seven news in Adélaide, he would join Channel Ten, where Mcavaney worked on athletics events at the 1984 Olympic Games.
Mcavaney, from Adélaïde, would return to work for seven in 1989, where he was going to call Cricket, AFL, the Australian matches of the Open World Cup and rugby.
This comes after the presenter concluded an agreement to return to the AFL coverage of Channel Seven for the 2025 season, and shows no signs of slowdown.

The broadcaster admitted his joy of the news he will work on the world athletics championships in September, adding that he was grateful to SBS for giving him the opportunity to call the event.
“We will bring the best in the world to an Australian audience and highlight our great Australian athletes,” said Mcavaney.
“I have never been so excited by the prospects of the Australian athletic team, not even before the Sydney Olympic Games. This team has everything – established champions, great young sprinters and incredible talent of the intermediate distance.
“And then there is drop gout – a generational talent that became a global phenomenon last year. I can’t wait to see how it goes, running against the big names in the world sprint for the first time.
“He is just at the start of a fantastic journey, which seems to go to the top of his sport. I urge all the Australians to get on board now and to be part of what will be an incredible race towards the Brisbane Olympic Games in 2032.
“It is a privilege and an honor to comment on the world championships and I would like to thank SBS for giving me this opportunity, and on the seven network for their support. You may have heard me say this before, but it will be special.
SBS should broadcast each session of the nine -day event via SBS Vieland and the World Athletics Championships Hub via SBS on demand.
It comes at a fascinating moment for Australian athletics, with several rising stars that cross the ranks just in time for the event.
