WOW! Josh Kerr! We are still reeling from that incredible Mile world record at the London Diamond League.

Alicia joins Jamie and Chris to discuss an unforgettable afternoon in the London Olympic stadium, plus you’ll hear from 110m Hurdles world record holder Ja’Kobe Tharp and long jump star Jazmin Sawyers.

The last hour of the podcast is our Commonwealth Games preview! Glasgow 2026 is actually shaping up to be rather good – you won’t want to miss the 400s, men’s Mile or men’s Javelin. Also, you’ll hear from men’s 100m favourite Kayinsola Ajayi of Nigeria and our very own Ceri, seemingly from the Southern States of America!

Happy Games eve and enjoy watching the Commies!
