Last weeks crazy results from Monaco and La Chaux-de-Fonds leave the team speechless, although not enough to stop them from blathering on for an hour.
The likes of Femke, Jacob, Rai, Quincy, Jessica Hull and Djamel Sedjati set up mouthwatering clashes for Paris but before then we have a high quality DL in London this weekend to look forward to.
We're only a week away from the Olympics!!!!

Send us a text Jody didn’t make it to Apeldoorn so we’ve invited Backstraight Roving Reporter Preet on to fill us in on all the action. Netherlands cleaned up at their home champs with 7 Golds whilst Team GB had mixed results. Big names like Lieke, Jakob, Sander and Ditaji shone but Jerry’s win and a resurgent Andy Robinson stole the show for British fans 🤩 All this and we discuss the very weird UK team for Nanjing.

Send us a text Four time Olympic Champ Carl Lewis called it an ' April Fools joke ' and double champ Militiatis Tentoglu said it was ' dog shit' and threatened to retire from the event, but World Athletics seem determined to implement their controversial new Long Jump innovations. Obviously this is a topic very close to the podcast's heart so we gathered together an all star team of LJ luminaries to have a heated (If one sided debate). Jaz is back along 🥳 along with UK #1 Jacob Fincham - Dukes as well as friend of the pod 2 x World Champion Fiona May. They do not hold back.

Send us a text Ten years ago, long before the podcast, 20 year old sprint sensation Jodie Williams did an interview for our old blog Jody and Bayo's Athletics Spectacular . It was at the very beginning of her senior career and she could not have started it off in an more auspicious way, ending the season with both European and Commonwealth medals. But all good things must come to and end, so it seems fitting that she should sit down with us again, a decade later, as a she announces her retirement, to chat about her inspirational legacy and leaving on a high with an Olympic Bronze medal. The British women's spring scene had been transformed since 2014 much of which can be attributed to Jodie's trailblazing legacy. We wish her all the best in her future coffee and 'frolicking' adventures. Please enjoy, please subscribe and please let us know what you think on all our socials.
