Episode Notes
It was a huge honour to have Canada's 2023 800m world champion Marco Arop join the Podium team to discuss his life and career so far.
Arop is at the forefront of a golden era for his event, a friendly rivalry with Emmanuel Wanyonyi putting the men's 800m on the brink of a new world record, among what is already epic racing.
Marco talks about his roots in the sport and how much he feels he owes his family for his success - and much more.
