Week 2 Broadcast of LEGENDS TRACK & FIELD RADIO – “Where the Past, Present & Future of Athletics Come Alive”

In this episode of Legends Track & Field Radio, we bring you a comprehensive Weekly Global News Bulletin covering the week of December 1st–8th, 2025—featuring breaking stories, championship updates, rising stars, and major athletics developments from every corner of the world. In this week’s Insights Into Athletics, we deliver an in-depth analysis on one of the sport’s greatest disciplines as we unveil The Mount Rushmore of the 400m Hurdles—honoring the unmatched dominance of Edwin Moses, the fearless brilliance of Karsten Warholm, the historic power of Kevin Young, and the trailblazing legacy of John Akii Bua. Our Legends Profile of the Week shines a spotlight on Zambia’s iconic hurdling pioneer, Samuel Matete—Africa’s first World Champion in the 400m hurdles and long-standing African record holder. We explore his rise from the Copperbelt to global stardom, and the mark he left on sprint-hurdling worldwide. And finally, in the Athletics History Hour, we journey back in time to reveal the forgotten, chaotic, and surprisingly brilliant origins of modern track & field through the lens of the unconventional Paris 1900 Olympic Games—a wild chapter where innovation, confusion, and history collided to shape the sport as we know it today.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/legends-track-field-radio--6803943/support.
