The Warm Up Track: Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Athletics Podcast, Episode eight

Omar McLeod & Kelsey-Lee Barber join the team ahead of the London Anniversary Games.

This week, Omar McLeod and Kelsey-Lee Barber join the team on the eve of the London Anniversary Games ... Jamaica's Olympic and World sprint hurdles champion and the Australian who 'threads needles through the sky' - we're learning the art of javelin throwing from a World Championship medal favourite.

Is Omar's English accent more EastEnders than Mary Poppins? Who demands to be taken to Buckingham Palace and who wants to chill at Borough Market? What's home life like when you're married to your coach? Plus, who was winning biscuits long before they were winning medals?

Those questions answered, as well as Omar's first-hand account of being on the Jamaican relay team the night Usain Bolt's career ended in injury and agony.
