    Episode 57: Re/Preview
    Jan 27 2024
    We're back! It's Olympic year! So it's time for a fresh new look... We were too busy rigging the World Athletics Awards to record our annual Christmas special. So instead, we have our re-preview pod - a review of 2023, whilst also previewing 2024. Plus some outrageous predictions for the Athletics year ahead. There's also a new (potentially one-off) strand to the show with Ceri's (Deep) Heat magazine gossip section. All the coaching changes, marriages and pregnancies that you can shake a javelin at. Tweet us at @Trackcastic to share your predictions for the year ahead. There's a lot to look forward to, with Glasgow World Indoors, Rome European Champs and the Paris Olympics! TrackCastic was born in 2016, just ahead of the Rio Olympic Games - and we're still going 8 years later - thanks to you listeners! Happy listening! TrackCastic crew xx
