In the absence of sport, Today sports presenter Alex Cullen has made do, and taken to commentating his twin daughters as they race in a deserted park.

The move was inspired by an American commentator, Cullen said as he dubbed the segment "things to make you smile."

In an adorable home video, Cullen's two 14-month-old girls, Audrey and Evie, can be seen running in some grass towards their mother, Bonnie.

"Welcome to the Australian twin championships where Audrey has gone way out in front of this 200m race," Cullen begins.

"Evie is coming up behind, where she comes, right into a canter now.

"Audrey is in front by about 10m but Evie is chasing…these two have form."

In the end Audrey Cullen took out the race, but when asked how the milestone felt she simply blew a raspberry.

"One's pursuing life in an essential way and the others who are just checking out the blades of grass."

Langdon responded: "I have one of each."

The home video comes as the nation's coronavirus outbreak accelerates. The nation's caseload has soared towards 3,000 with 13 deaths now confirmed.
