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 sh...
Sprint Season 2 is here and we have MANY thoughts!!!
Noah, Gabby and Shericka are back, but Season 1 faves Sha’Carri and SAFP are missing, as is the entire continent of Africa, whilst newcomers like Julian Alfred and Kushan’s Thompson prove that the biggest personalities don’t necessarily make the most compelling characters.
The boys dig into the good and bad, discussing what might be required for ...
