The latest England Athletics Podcast, featuring three-time Commonwealth champion Tessa Sanderson, is the first of a series of episodes building up to the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games.

Sanderson won for England in 1978, 1986 and 1990 and also famously took home the gold medal from the 1984 Olympic Games. She made history as the first black British woman to win the Olympics and the first Briton to win an Olympic throwing event.

In conversation with host Alex Seftel, coinciding with Black History Month, she discusses her battles with great rivals like Fatima Whitbread and how she excelled at major championships when it mattered.
