Jemma's Flying, Mondo's Soaring, and GB's Spoilt for 400m Talent: the Glasgow Grand Prix and a few more besides

Send us Fan MailMondo Duplantis is making history at whim, Jemma Reekie has stepped out of Laura Muir's shadow and is eating national records for breakfast, and Jessie Knight is laughing in the face of her own previous bests. Oh, and Joshua Cheptegei just dropped a 12:51 5km on the roads in Monaco. 2020 looks set to be epic.Claire's back with the boys this week, with all of the above covered, plus plenty of shout-outs to other Backstraight favourites around the globe (we see you, Amber Anning), an update on Christian Coleman's location, and a look at Joanna Adams' appointment.We also take a moment to savour how healthy much of athletics looks right now. YES, there are troublesome shoes, disturbing revelations about top-flight coaching set-ups, and ongoing issues around clean sport and athletes with DSD, but there's lots to find exciting. There's such strength and depth out there right now, and Team GB are spoilt for choice in so many disciplines, come selection season. Plus, Andy Pozzi is healthy, for goodness' sake; let's relish that at the very least. How brilliant to see him competing consistently well once more.We've had some lovely reviews and feedback in recently. Thank you. We want to produce the sort of pod you love to listen to, so get in touch however you like: @BackstraightB and @Claire_GThomas on Twitter, @BackstraightBoysPodcast on Instagram, or via a review.That's quite enough rambling for now. If we don't shut up soon, Jemma will have broken another NR, and we'll have to re-record... As ever, thanks for stopping by xoxo Please enjoy, please subscribe and please let us know what you think on all our socials. Thanks for listening and follow us on Social Media at Insta - (@BackstraightBoysPodcast).Email - [email protected]
