This week we talk to the double Olympic and three-times world champion in the men's triple jump, Christian Taylor. Christian won his Olympic titles in 2012 (London) and 2016 (Rio).

In 2015 he recorded his personal best of 18 metres 21 centimetres at the World Championships in Beijing, just 8 cms behind the world record set by Britain's Jonathan Edwards back in 1995.
