We’re back! It’s Olympic year! So it’s time for a fresh new look…
We were too busy rigging the World Athletics Awards to record our annual Christmas special. So instead, we have our re-preview pod – a review of 2023, whilst also previewing 2024. Plus some outrageous predictions for the Athletics year ahead.
There’s also a new (potentially one-off) strand to the show with Ceri’s (Deep) Heat magazine gossip section. All the coaching changes, marriages and pregnancies that you can shake a javelin at.
Tweet us at @Trackcastic to share your predictions for the year ahead. There’s a lot to look forward to, with Glasgow World Indoors, Rome European Champs and the Paris Olympics!
TrackCastic was born in 2016, just ahead of the Rio Olympic Games – and we’re still going 8 years later – thanks to you listeners!
Happy listening!
