It's Athletico Christmas Eve again!

The World Indoor Championships are back for the first time since that snowy 2018 in Birmingham.

Belgrade will hopefully deliver an epic weekend of Athletics, with 12 Tokyo Olympic champions in action.

The TrackCastic team for this preview pod is almost as small as the French team heading out to Serbia! But we've still got you covered, previewing all the events for these World Indoors.

Enjoy watching it all!

O Come All Ye Faith-ful Kipyegon's - it's the TrackCastic Christmas Special!

And on the 5th Day of Christmas, my true love (Berlino) gave to me - FIVE DEFINING MOMENTS!

Yes, we couldn't afford 5 gold rings, so we've nabbed the idea from @ChrisBrownSport's podcast 'My Defining Moments' to review the 2021 season.

Each of us chose a defining moment from the sprints, jumps, throws, & distances, plus a wildcard moment.

Find out who made Carol cry the most, what made Ceri react like an Edvard Munch painting and hear Russia's 2022 Eurovision entry!

So once you've Decked The Halls with boughs of Holly Bradshaw, grab yourself a mulled wine and listen to 100 minutes of 2021's best bits.

Merry Christmas!

PS - Christmas (Renata Plis Come Home - we've missed you!)

Happy Athletico Christmas Eve!! Happy 5th Birthday to us!!

It's a double celebration in this bumper special episode of TrackCastic and the whole gang are here to share the excitement.

5 years ago TrackCastic was born! We began with a preview to the Rio 2016 Olympic Athletics, so it's only right we celebrate our birthday by doing the same!

The 2020 Tokyo Olympics are finally here! It's a year late, but it's actually happening!

We have a new format to preview every event on the schedule. So, sit back, relax and enjoy listening to all the wildly inaccurate predictions!

TrackCastic Crew

PS - Sorry it's so long.

We're back!

It's the kids in charge again, with Gabby enjoying life as a commentator & Jamie otherwise engaged (in the pub).

The rest of the TrackCastic crew are here to discuss all the action from the outdoor season so far, the off-track gossip & to preview the GB Olympic trials!

Dave has been all across the distance drama.

Carol has kept her eye on the rising GB stars.

Chris has been preparing for a trip to the Trials.

And as always, Ceri has the gossip on pretty much everything else!

So settle in for a long one - Sifan Hassan's 10,000m World Record only just lasted longer than this episode!

Enjoy!

Ah wasn't it amazing? Four wonderful days of European Indoor Athletics. Toruń 2021 was everything we wanted it to be and more!

With Jamie away negotiating prices for green lycra, the rest of the TrackCastic crew are here to guide you through every medal won in Toruń. We gave you a comprehensive preview, so it was only fair to do the same for the review!

So snuggle up next to Óscar and his shiny gold medal, and listen to...

Dave's plasticine revelation

The correct way to say Iapichino and Ehammer

Gabby's gossip from the virtual mixed zone

THAT Women's 1500m final (lol)

And discover why half of Chris's face is itching

Even though this is a Track and Field podcast, for this episode, it's a Field and Track pod. The first half is field events, the second half all the track. Split it in half if you need to!

Now, let's take that hotel bed selfie...

TrackCastic Crew

What's this? We actually have an Athletics champs this week?! That's right! The 2021 European Indoor Athletics Championships start tomorrow on Torun, Poland.

And the kids are home alone again as Gabby and Jamie are away, so it's been left to Ceri, Carol, Chris and Dave to preview the upcoming champs! (Although Gabby did pop in for a lowdown on all things Combined Events!)

So sit back, relax and listen to...

News Roundup - Coaching/Doping/Retirement gossip
