In a brilliant twist of roles, triple jump great Jonathan Edwards slips into the host’s chair to interview his longtime friend and fellow legend Colin Jackson. The result is a warm, funny, and deeply human conversation that goes far beyond medals and records, diving into the mindset of one of Britain’s most admired athletes.
Colin takes us back to where it all began, the boy who swapped cricket whites for running spikes, who chose hurdles over the decathlon because he craved rhythm, not chaos. With trademark precision, he relives the defining moments: the Barcelona heartbreak that toughened him, the world-record run that electrified fans, and the indoor double that stunned even him.
Along the way, he pays tribute to his legendary coach Malcolm Arnold, whose relentless pursuit of technical perfection shaped Colin’s career, and his character. We hear about the rivalries that sharpened his edge, the discipline that kept him at the top, and the quiet philosophy that guided him when the spotlight dimmed.
This is Colin Jackson, open, funny, and full of wisdom. Still graceful over life’s hurdles, still driven by purpose, and still proving that true greatness isn’t just about how fast you run, but how deeply you give back.
