Episode 48: Driving Warholm For Christmas (2021 Review)

~ trackcastic ~ Leave a comment

O Come All Ye Faith-ful Kipyegon’s – it’s the TrackCastic Christmas Special!

And on the 5th Day of Christmas, my true love (Berlino) gave to me – FIVE DEFINING MOMENTS!

Yes, we couldn’t afford 5 gold rings, so we’ve nabbed the idea from @ChrisBrownSport’s podcast ‘My Defining Moments’ to review the 2021 season.

Each of us chose a defining moment from the sprints, jumps, throws & distances, plus a wildcard moment.

Find out who made Carol cry the most, what made Ceri react like an Edvard Munch painting and hear Russia’s 2022 Eurovision entry!

So once you’ve Decked The Halls with boughs of Holly Bradshaw, grab yourself a mulled wine and listen to 100 minutes of 2021’s best bits.

Merry Christmas!

Happy Athletico Christmas Eve!! Happy 5th Birthday to us!!

It’s a double celebration in this bumper special episode of TrackCastic and the whole gang are here to share the excitement.

5 years ago TrackCastic was born! We began with a preview to the Rio 2016 Olympic Athletics, so it’s only right we celebrate our birthday by doing the same!

The 2020 Tokyo Olympics are finally here! It’s a year late, but it’s actually happening!

We have a new format to preview every event on the schedule. So, sit back, relax and enjoy listening to all the wildly inaccurate predictions!

PS – Sorry it’s so long.
