Episode 42 kicks off with Olympian Peter Bol chatting to Sean and Tim about his life in and out of sport. From his move to Australia in the early 2000s through to his rise in the domestic and international athletics scene, Peter gets to tell his story. And as a skilled storyteller, we hear him weaving the characters he’s met and experiences he’s had into a wonderful tale about a young man finding his place in the world.

In a new segment, Stu Macaulay from Western Athletics discusses all about his club and what has made the mob from the west one of the most successful and highly functioning athletic clubs in the country. With 20 years of experience at the club, Stu talks about the characters who have shaped Western Athletics on and off the track and where he sees the club headed into the future.

Sean then provides an update on some international news including another athlete suspension and perhaps the most famous 185m run ever.

So tune in to Down the Track for more up to date news in the world of athletics.
