In a packed episode, the former meet director at the Prefontaine Classic, Tom Jordan, joins us to discuss the man it's named after - Steve Pretontaine - and his legacy 50 years since his death aged just 24. Tom also talks about why the event in Eugene is one of the highlights on the Diamond League calendar.

Hannah and Rich preview the Pre Classic and review Faith Kipyegon's Breaking4 attempt, the European Athletics Team Championships, Jamaican trails and ask: is Sifan Hassan gearing up for another bonkers schedule, after signing up for the Sydney Marathon less than two weeks before the World Athletics Championships begin in Tokyo.

Presented by athletics commentators Hannah England, Rich Newman and Katie Smith.
