Behind-the-scenes insight and opinion from some of the biggest personalities in athletics and track and field discussing their Olympic experiences, career high points, controversies and everything in between
In the late 90s and early 2000s, Jared Deacon was a dependable cog in a highly effective British men's 4x400m medal-winning machine. He was rewarded with medals at World, European and Commonwealth level and an appearance at the Sydney Olympics. Coming from a family of eight where his father was a former sprinter and his mother a talented swimmer, sport was deep in the family DNA. His siblings all took part in sport, including one occasion where he teamed up with his three brothers for a unique relay. He married another international runner, Scotland's Susan Deacon nee Burnside and their children now compete stretching the Deacon family involvement to another generation. His life has been touched with tragedy, but also with some quirky highs, such as his unusual world record. Jared has a really great story to tell of a life in athletics on and off track.
