    The Keely Klassic

    She's an Olympic champion over 800m. She's told us her sole focus is now on the World Championships outdoors this summer and a new personal best. And she may have been injured just hours before her own Keely Klassic event, but Keely Hodgkinson MBE, and Sports Personality of the Year, along with her coaching team and management Forte Talent Group, is already doing more to help the legacy of athletics than most. Performances from Olympic medalists, British records broken, thousands of selfies and hundreds of autographs signed - in this special episode we hear from Keely, Georgia Hunter-Bell, Lina Neilsen, Neil Gourley, Molly Caudery, Amy Hunt and Netheenal Mitchell-Blake. This was a special afternoon in Birmingham at the Keely Klassic indoor athletics meet. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    Team GB's Anthony Harding & the end of another Olympic year

    It was quite the summer in Paris 2024 - for co-hosts Michael and John in their roles with talkSPORT but also for first time Olympian Anthony Harding - their guest on this final episode of another Olympic year! The British diver made history with his 'idol' Jack Laugher, as the pair won Team GB's 4th historic synchronised diving medal of Paris 2024 in the 3m springboard. We look-back with Anthony on his achievements in his first Games, and look ahead to what's next including a new coach, new training venue in Sheffield and a tilt at individual success too. Michael and John also round up some of the other Olympic news ahead of a big year, even though 2025 isn't officially an 'Olympic year'. And as Christmas and New Year is the time to reflect, a final mention of experiences and learnings from Paris 2024! And as it is the festive season, may we thank you for listening, wish you and yours a very happy holiday and see you for more Olympics and Paralympics podcasts in 2025!

    Great British Bosses - Katie Sadleir

    The Commonwealth Games has been saved by Scotland and Glasgow 2026. But what does the future hold in store? Who else will host? We go straight to the top and ask CEO Katie Sadleir who tells us Glasgow will stage a world class Games. 2030 hosts will be decided next year. Co-hosts across smaller nations could be an option. They'll be more sports 16 or 17 in 2030. A series of Commonwealth championships will also be looked at, as well as maintaining the successful Youth Games, with a host confirmed for that in March 2025. Oh and Australia 'will host the Games again' despite Victoria pulling out with 8 hours notice to host 2026.
