Sportsworld

The Warm Up Track is back! Season Three continues with Commonwealth 1500m Champion Oliver Hoare and World 200m Finalist, Luxolo Adams.

Who could have made it as a professional footballer?

Whose Dad woke the neighbours up honking the car horn when his son won?

What’s the strangest thing an opponent has done to win the psychological battle pre-race?

How do you process being compared to one of your country’s all-time greats, who was winning their medals more than 60 years ago?

We also discuss track and field’s new fly-on-the-wall documentaries – being shot this season – and the need for the sport to find characters and tell their stories.

Plus, we hear first-hand how the visa issues which affected a number of athletes before last year’s World Championships impacted directly on one of our guests.
