Show Notes
The Tokyo World Athletics Championships kick off on September 13, and while the team are not there in presence, we will be bringing you recaps, insights and analysis through the 8 days of action. In this Preview show, we are joined by Guardian Chief Sports Writer, Sean Ingle, for a look ahead at the week of athletics. We discuss the placement of these World Championships in the calendar, and why it may backfire for World Athletics and the athletes, who've had to plan for a longer season than ever before. We talk about the general health of the sport, and explore how it might make changes to appeal to the next generation of fans. And of course, we preview some of the big events, the rivalries and on-track stories, with unique insights from one of the world's most knowledgeable insider-sports journalists.
This show also kicks off our Tokyo 2025 campaign, where we plan to bring you as many daily insights as we can. Work pressures, and time zone challenges may prevent a full house, but join us over the course of the week for the best applied sports science insights around!
You can also support our work by making a small monthly donation on Patreon, and this also gets you access to our world class community of Discourse members, who will enrich your Tokyo 2025 experience enormously (as well as every other training, health and sports science you've had!)
