The latest episode of the Athletics Weekly Podcast sees host Euan Crumley joined by Jason Henderson to assess the recent national championships that have been taking place across the globe. From the UK to the US, athletes have been battling it out to qualify for next month’s World Championships – producing some superb racing, a few surprises and a clue or two about what we can expect in Tokyo.

From Britain’s Amy Hunt hinting that she might be about to deliver on the sprinting promise she showed as a junior, through to the 800m exploits of 16-year-old American Cooper Lutkenhaus over 800m and plenty more besides, there is much to discuss.

This episode also looks at the new issue of AW, which delves into the big moments that have taken place in athletics during the magazine’s 80-year lifetime since its launch in 1945. It’s a rich history indeed.
