Philips Idowu (audio)

In an extended interview with 大象传媒 Sport’s Tom Fordyce, Britain’s triple jump hopeful admits injury nearly cost him his career in the run up to Beijing... how he hopes to still be competing in Rio in four years’ time... how he can’t remember the last time he spoke to UK Athletics’ head coach Charles Van Commenee… and most importantly, what colour he's thinking of dying his hair for the London Games.
