The Warm Up Track: Sprints Special
Listen now
Description
The Warm Up Track is back! Season Three continues with World Indoor 60m Champion Mujinga Kambundji and World 200m Finalist, Joseph Fahnbulleh. Who can’t remember the biggest race of their career – and what’s it really like when you’re in ‘The Zone’? Which athlete is like a big brother to one of our guests – and what’s it like when one of your siblings is also an elite athlete? What’s the most important non-Track and Field item which will be going in the suitcase for the World Championships? Joseph also discusses at length why he chose to represent the country of his parents’ birth, Liberia, and why his first visit to the country will be with his Mother. Plus we discuss how our guests, and others, are making the sprints truly global and no longer simply the United States versus Jamaica.
