The Zharnel Hughes one

Zharnel Hughes on getting started in sprinting, breaking British records & the Olympics.

From his training base in Jamaica, Zharnel Hughes sits down with Eleanor Oldroyd ahead of this summer's Paris Olympics. He鈥檚 a double Commonwealth Games and European Championships gold medallist, and now he鈥檚 aiming to add an Olympic title to his collection.

He goes right back to the beginning - from when he first discovered he was pretty fast, to making the move to Great Britain, and moving on from the disappointment of missing Rio and false starts and team disqualification in Tokyo.

He also gives us a glimpse inside his mind when on the start line and discusses if it鈥檚 time for a new era of athletics
