The gang's all here and so are the first major champs of the season!!!

The Commonwealth Games have a long and storied history but where do they fit in the modern sporting landscape? We discuss our favourite CWG memories from over the years before taking a deep dive onto what we're most looking forward to over the next week.

Some of the world biggest stars are in action and some of the fields are stacked but others.....not so much. Look forward to champs like Ethan Katzberg, Thea Lafond, Damien Warner, Nina Kennedy, Neeraj Chopra  and Tobi Amusam but also expect some new stars and surprise medallists to emerge - the more random the better.

There have been some late withdrawals from the Brits but Josh, Amy, Zharnel, Max, Laura, Jeremiah, Georgia, Jake, Eilish and of course Jaz will give the crowds plenty to cheer about.

Jazz is Back!!!

To dispel rumours of a dramatic Backstraight bust-up our favourite lady is joining us to preview all the action at this weekend's mouth watering London Athletics Meet.

With a season's best of 6.80cm last week, Jaz is in fine form to take her place in a stacked LJ field, but every event is star studded with Mondo, Marileidy, Oblique, Julien, Emmanuel, Yaroslava and Karsten all on the start lists.

The Brits are out in force as well the likes of Keely, Josh, Dina, MHS, Zharnel, Morgan and Amy all looking to fine tune before the CWG's and Euro Champs.

Unfortunately Georgia Hunter Bell, Charlie Morgan and Jake Wightman are all late withdrawals. Fingers crossed they have recovered before Glasgow.

With a very slight lull in the non stop Diamond League schedule we're joined by oldskool T&F bestie Jamie McGann from the TrackCastic podcast to relive all the amazing action from Rome, Stockholm and Oslo.

There were historic wins and shocking losses, old timers proving they've still got it and literal children beating all comers.

Bayo snuck away from his Spanish holiday to make a surprise trip to Morocco and his first ever non European Diamond League meeting in Rabat. 

It was definitely worth the wait as the top performance came thick and extremely fast. The Brits did well with the likes of Max Burgin and Matt Hudson Smith shining whilst local legend Soufiane El Bakkali did what he always does and ended the meeting in style.

But it wasn't all fun, there was work to be done so you can enjoys interviews with the likes of Geordie Beamish, Ryan Crouser and comeback Queen, Shaunae Miller - Uibo.
