In our last review episode before the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, Hannah’s back from holiday to join Rich for a round-up of the Diamond League final, featuring interviews from Zurich - where Rich was in attendance last week.

There’s a look back at the Sydney Marathon - now the world’s 7th major - which featured another win for Sifan Hassan, and we round-up the latest news from elsewhere too - including a superb victory for Tom Evans at UTMB.

“I’m on this journey to see how fast I can run three and three quarter lap - I’m not doing it for love and praise, and I’m not doing it for hate and backlash - I’m doing this because this is who I am”.

Nikki Hiltz was a brilliant guest on Podium, recorded just before they won their first ever Diamond League meeting in Brussels (we’d love to say we planned this, timing wise…!).

The 1500m specialist, who won silver at the World Athletics Indoor Championships in 2024, is blazing a trail, having come out as non-binary in 2021. Nikki is one of few track and field athletes to transcend the sport and in this interview they talk about their journey to the top of their game.
