Sprint legend Michael Johnson joins Katharine Merry and Allison Curbishley on the podcast to discuss his many career highlights that have included winning eight world titles and four Olympic gold medals.

The American chooses as his 'gold medal achievement' his sensational 200m and 400m double at his home Olympic Games in Atlanta in 1996.

It wasn't easy to find a 'wooden spoon moment' but Johnson explains that he still holds some regret about losing a race at high school.
