    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    As the camera moved along the line-up before the 2025 World Indoor Long Jump final, Claire Bryant held up a sign she'd made. The Championships were being held in Nanjing, and Claire had decided to make a sign which said 'Jesus' in Mandarin. As she prepared to take her first jump, an official informed her that doing so had broken World Athletics rules concerning the displaying of religious or political symbols or slogans on the field of play. There was a risk she could be disqualified. What happe

    Read excerpt

    Anna Cockrell won 400 hurdles silver at the Paris Olympic Games. In her event, the build-up had focussed on the head-to-head between Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone and Femke Bol. It was the defending champion and world record holder against the reigning world champion. Anna was aware of that conversation but also knew that she was in the form of her life.

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    At the age of 16, Innes FitzGerald turned down selection for the World Cross Country Championships because they were a long-haul flight away in Australia. The environmental impact of getting on that plane was more important to her than the experience of competing on the international stage. That decision changed her life. Traditional media and social media wanted to know who she was and why she’d made that choice. Innes found herself being compared to the climate activist Greta Thunberg, somethi

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    Geordie Beamish was involved in arguably the best race of the 2025 World Championships. In Tokyo, he timed his finish to perfection to upset the twice and reigning champion, Soufiane El Bakkali, in the men’s 3000m steeplechase. The Moroccan was looking for his third world title in a row, to go with his Olympic golds from Tokyo and Paris. But Geordie had other ideas. He takes us back to that night, and to that final lap. We relive it all, including an incident earlier in the week, where he narrow
