    Feb 24 2025
    The UK Indoor Championships in Birmingham staged some of Britain's best athletes competing for a place at the European Indoors in the Netherlands in a fortnight. Hear from sprint kings and queen Jere Azu and Bianca Williams, Olympic medalists George Hunter-Bell, Alex Haydock-Wilson, new British champion George Mills and best of British Scott Lincoln. While in Manchester, world records were broken and new sprint stars Matthew Richardson and Lauren Bell were crowned at the Lloyds National Track Championships. Michael and John discuss whether the two separate events could have been combined and staged at the same time, and whether an annual British 'Olympics' could build the brand further of Olympic sports like Athletics, Cycling and Swimming? And others? Let us know what you think! And we talk the long jump take off board - after trials in Germany! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
