This week we’re joined by British sprint legend Adam Gemili to discuss an electrifying World Relays from Gaborone, Botswana. 

There was lots at stake for the African nation as WA took this meet to the continent for the very let first, time but they exceeded all expectations with a slick and thrilling weekend of relay action. The timing couldn’t have been better with the home team as current Men’s 4x400m champs and they didn’t disappoint. 

We chat about our high and lows and suggest some tweaks that could prove beneficial going forward. 
 
We end by reminiscing about Adam’s stellar career as he announces his retirement and lets us in on what plans he has for the future.
