The World Indoor Championships in Belgrade Serbia got underway at the beginning of March and it didn't disappoint. There were some great performances, some upsets, a few world records, and of course, it wouldn't be Track & Field if there wasn't some "hot topics" to get us all talking! Did Marcell Jacobs really win the Men's 60m? Was that jump in the Long Jump really a foul? What happened to Swoboda? Will Rojas jump 16m? We also heard Mondo Duplantis broke the World Record - but we didn't get to see it.

Overall, the 2022 World Indoor Championships was a good one, BUT we all know the real Track & Field season doesn't really start until athlete's head "outside" and start putting down some early season performances on the outdoor track. And, from the looks of things already, this season is about to be one to remember! 
Fred Kerley has already run under 10s in the 100m, 20.0 in the 200m, and 44.4 in the 400m!! And this was all BEFORE April!! Why is Elaine Thompson-Herah running 400m....in 56.72? And, where is Tara Davis? 

Its about to be a very busy summer... Get your popcorn ready!

It's been a frantic few weeks since our last episode.

With the World Indoor Championships only a couple of weeks away, February seemed to end in a frenzy.  There were a lot of standout performances from athletes around the world that caught our eye in more ways than one.

In Episode 2, we discuss the issue between sprinter Trayvon Bromell and NFL wide receiver Tyreek Hill,  Grant Holloway's continued dominance, sexiness in the sport of Track & Field and the wave of white athletes that have been performing well in characteristically black dominated events.

We are BACK with Season TWO of Unconventional Voices of Track and Field! 

The 2022 indoor season is underway and in Episode 1 we discuss - Do we really need an indoor season?  With less than half of elite athletes competing, is it really worth it?  
We also talk about the return of Christian Coleman, some of the hottest performance so far, and as always, much MUCH more.

With a new look but the same unfiltered vibe, its good to be back!

The Tokyo 2020 Olympics Games have recently concluded, and after all of the speculation of whether an Olympic Games could or should be held during a pandemic.  
After all was said and done, it has been seen by most as a big success. 

Track & Field had many highs and lows, and there were some truly outstanding performances, despite no crowd.  We give our "hot take" on many of the performances, and news that got the world talking, as well as our overall thoughts on an Olympics in a Pandemic.

We also discuss - what we think is arguably the most anticipated post Olympic Track meet In history!  The Nike Prefontaine Classic, being held in Eugene, Oregon at magical Hayward field.  
So many Olympic medallists on display, as well an the "Olympic" race we all wanted to see...  Sha'Carri Richardson from the USA going head-to-head-to-head with ALL three Jamaican medallists from the Women's 100m at the Olympics Games including the Fastest Woman in the World Elaine Thompson.

The Games of the XXXII Olympiad, otherwise known as Tokyo 2020, was originally scheduled to take place from 24 July to 9 August 2020, but the event was postponed in March 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

With the Olympics finally on the horizon, should the Olympics have ever have gotten this far in the first place, or should it have just been cancelled all together? These are some of the questions we discuss, along with some of the logistics and rules in place to try and make an Olympics happen in a pandemic.

Jade and Anson, also look back at what there time was like competing at the Olympics, and breakdown all the challenges athletes will face to achieve "The Dream" whilst trying to navigate how different and difficult this unique Olympic Games will be.

In arguably the craziest week in in Track & Field history, Jade and Anson unpack all the top stories, astonishing results, the highs, and the lows of a week (or three) filled with drama, and fueled by emotion. 

One of the most talked about stories this week was that of Sha'Carri Richardson - US Champion and Olympic gold medal favourite.  She tested positive for a prohibited substance soon after winning the US Trials and booking her trip to Tokyo.  She subsequently received a one month ban, meaning she will miss the Olympics altogether.  The response sent shockwaves through the world of Track & Field - AND BEYOND - making it one of the biggest drugs "scandals" in Track & Field history!   What was she banned for?  WEED!?!
