The Zharnel Hughes one

All About... Olympics - Un podcast de BBC Radio 5 Live

From his training base in Jamaica, Zharnel Hughes sits down with Eleanor Oldroyd ahead of this summer's Paris Olympics. He’s a double Commonwealth Games and European Championships gold medallist, and now he’s aiming to add an Olympic title to his collection. He goes right back to the beginning - from when he first discovered he was pretty fast, to making the move to Great Britain, and moving on from the disappointment of missing Rio and false starts and team disqualification in Tokyo. He also gives us a glimpse inside his mind when on the start line and discusses if it’s time for a new era of athletics.TOPICS00'40 - Where it all started 02'30 - Life in Jamaica with Bolt, Blake and Weir5'20 - Making the move to Great Britain in 2015 11'20 - Getting ready for the Olympics 13'00 - "Do you have something to prove this summer?"15'30 - Memories of Tokyo17'00 - Falling back in love with athletics18'30 - "That's when you know it's showtime"20'00 - Pre-race routines23'00 - Living in the moment26'00 - Breaking records & burgers and fries 31'00 - A new era for athletics?33'00 - "The is your captain Zharnel Hughes"
