Thought we'd take a breather after returning from Tokyo before dropping our review pod. Not that we've been slacking, we've been rewatching every last minute of the action if course!!! You miss so much in the stadium.

Together we discuss all of the ups and downs of a fantastic 2025. World Championships.
