About this episode

In Episode 46 of the Beyond the Track Podcast, we're joined by two Team Wales athletes from different Commonwealth Games generations.

Current Team Wales para discus thrower Harrison Walsh shares the excitement of being selected for the upcoming Commonwealth Games, discussing what the moment meant to him, how he's preparing for Glasgow, and what he's looking forward to as he gets ready to represent Wales on one of sport's biggest stages.

Alongside him is former Team Wales pole vaulter Sally Simpson, who reflects on her unforgettable Commonwealth Games journey, including winning silver in Glasgow in 2014. Sally shares her memories of competing on home soil, the atmosphere of the Games, and the lessons she's carried throughout her career.

Together, Harrison and Sally compare past and present Commonwealth Games experiences, discussing how the event has evolved, the unique challenges and opportunities that come with representing your country, and what makes the Commonwealth Games such a special competition.

From selection stories and standout memories to preparation, advice, and everything in between, this is a must-listen for athletics fans ahead of this year's Commonwealth Games.
