  • Fury's revenge, Rashford's dilemma & how extreme can a run get?
    Dec 19 2024

    The fight of the century is back. Last time around, Oleksandr Usyk became the first undisputed heavyweight champion for 25 years, and he's back again for the rematch against Tyson Fury, who'll want to avenge his first professional defeat.

    Gabby and Mark chat to cruiserweight boxer and former WBO title holder, Chris Billam-Smith, about running with Fury, the pressure of a rematch and how he sees it going.

    We react to Marcus Rashford essentially saying he wants to leave Manchester United. Is he right to want to go? And where could he move to?

    Plus, everyone knows someone who took up running in lockdown, right? But how many of them went on to win four 200-250km ultramarathons in the desert, arctic, jungle and mountains like ultra-runner Jon Shield?

  • SPOTY SPECIAL: Keely Hodgkinson on Olympic gold, chasing world records & being normal
    Dec 17 2024

    Olympic gold medallist, Keely Hodgkinson, speaks to Gabby and Mark for an exclusive interview ahead of the Sports Personality of the Year Awards.

    Keely raced to gold in the 800m this summer in Paris, in the most watched event on the BBC. That was Team GB's first track gold since Jess Ennis-Hill at London 2012 - the very moment that inspired Keely to start running. Even as a teenager Keely won silver at the Tokyo Olympics, breaking Kelly Holmes' British record.

    So can she break the world record that's stood for 41 years? Will she be joining Michael Johnson's new Grand Slam Track event? What does she think can be done to improve athletics in the UK? And how does she balance her love of seeing friends and fashion with her gruelling training regime?
