Glasgow put on a show!!

Jazz – 7 metres. Nafi – World Record. IstanBol 2023 was EPIC!!

With half of the TrackCastic crew watching from the Atakoy Athletics Arena, we’ve got you covered with a review of a terrific champs in Turkey.

The European Indoors never fails to deliver the drama, and sometimes it spills over into Portuguese social media spats! We re-live the chaos of Karsten’s first lap, Gourley’s gutsy silver and all the Ukrainian success at the champs.

Plus, Gabby interviews actual legend Natalya Dobrynska, as well as heptathlon gold medallist Kevin Mayer!

And it wouldn’t be the conclusion of the indoor season without some bonkers results from the NCAA’s!

Happy listening!
