Adopted at six months old and growing up in rural Wales, a route to the top of elite athletics was an improbable one. But Jamie Baulch made it to the top, becoming World Indoor Champion over 400m. Competing in the toughest eras of UK one lap running, he cut a diminutive and distinctive figure, competing at top level for a decade against the likes of Roger Black, Iwan Thomas and being guided by Colin Jackson among others. In this wide-ranging interview, he discusses the shameful episode of the re-awarding of 4x400m gold medals, what was the final straw that led him to retire, the importance of sport psychology, being a household name, his post athletics career and his journey to meet his biological parents.
