No British athlete has competed in more World Athletics Championships than 400m runner Martyn Rooney. With eight appearances, he holds the record jointly with Marlon Devonish. With ten senior medals from Olympic, World and European Championships, he is one of the most decorated athletes in modern times. He is also a two-time European Champion, but its possibly as the anchor leg of the 4x400m relay in which most people remember him. As the hard charging final leg runner, he was must-see sport in one of athletics’ most popular events, winning GB multiple medals. In this podcast, packed with great anecdotes, he talks openly about his years in the sport, including being married to former international pole vaulter Kate Dennison, he takes about being blanked by Jeremy Warriner, his reaction to the shocking news over former training partner Oscar Pistorius, getting started in the sport and being asked not to beat the Borlee brothers in Brussels.
