We've decided to bring back This Week In Track and Field. CITIUS MAG's newest contributor, Anderson Emerole (who heads The Final Leg YouTube channel) will co-host every week as we riff on the biggest news stories and results in track and field.
In this week's show (since it was a slower week of results and news):
– We introduce Anderson to our audience a bit more formally
– Anderson shares a bit about his trip to Kingston, Jamaica for The ISSA Grace Kennedy Boys and Girls Championships, which is known as Champs and is Jamaica's biggest sporting event.
– What it was like interviewing Usain Bolt, Elaine Thompson-Herah and other stars
– An early assessment of the men's and women's sprints scene
