Back Chat’s Back (Alright) 

And this time we take you down memory lane to reminisce about all the great athletes we’ve met on our adventures over the years. From Crystal Palace in the 80’s to the Euro Champs in 2026 few legends have managed to escape our eagle eyes. 

1930’s High Jumpers, 1940’s Sprinters, 1950’s Milers and 1960’s Long Jumpers have all thrilled us in person. They’ll be household names, Olympic Champions and a surprisingly large amount of female throwers from the 70’s and 80’s.

Join us as to receive your Track and Field homework for the week 🤩

After a fantastic Backstraight Meet Up we're a but worse for wear but did make it to the stadium for a jam packed evening (Some of which we don't really remember).

Team GB won double relay Gold and the Irish fans had plenty to celebrate with HEP Gold for Kate O'Connor and 1500m Bronze for Andrew Coscoran.

Andy Diaz Hernandez  jumped the 4th best TJ or all time and Julien Weber clinched a last gasp JT title with a huge CR of 90.40 whilst Andreas Almgren's runaway 10 victory left us confused. 

But the highlight of the day occurred in the morning when Jaz's one and done qualification left us elated and impressed a certain Long Jump Goat the legendary Heike Drechsler, who joins us on the pod for our favourite interview of the week.

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.

Sorry we're late guys, but I'm sure you'll appreciate that after the exploits of Friday we we got a bit delayed in our podcasting responsibilities.

There was a fantastic turn out for our afternoon meet up and beers before we headed to the stadium and continued the partying.

Rai and Femke claimed more 400h GOLD whilst Noah 4peated in the 200m and MJW did the sprint double but it was our very own Amy Hunt claiming silver that tipped us over the edge and back to the pub.

To help us remember everything that went on we’re joined by sprint expert and host of The Final Leg channel Anderson Emerole

After a week of stunning DL performances the boys discuss Keely and Karsten comebacks, WR near misses and a very damp LJ competish before we all head to Zurich for the big Final later this week. 

They then have a good old gossip rounding up all the off track drama that’s been taking place and wonder if those last few selection decisions aren’t quite as set in stone as we’d all thought.
