Mo's Marathon and a Social Media Splash

Mo Farah dominated the build up to the London Marathon but couldn't deliver a victory on the streets of London. We analyse the controversial events of this week and the war of words between Mo and Haile Gebrselassie and discuss whether the Olympic Champion might be considering a switch back to the track ahead of this year's World Championships in Doha. The fallout from British Swimming's decision to stream the British Championships online as opposed to giving the BBC extensive coverage continued this week when swimmer James Guy questioned the broadcaster's decision to show the National Artistic Swimming Championships in Nottingham. British Swimming explain their thought process to us and we also hear from Adele Carlsen, who led the Team GB synchronised swimmers in 2012, and ask whether one aquatic discipline should be attacking another aquatic discipline. Staying in the pool, there's news on the team selected for the World Championships later this year as well as around up from Glasgow and the international Para-Swimming event. And, when is a para-athlete a Paralympian and when is an athlete Para GB and not Team GB? We talk about the identity crisis. Tom Daley gets a mention as does Andy Murray and there's news from triathlon, hockey and cycling too. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.
