If you’re have Olympic withdrawal symptoms, the latest issue of AW will help the memories of Paris 2024 to come flooding back as we delve into the big moments from an unforgettable Games.

From a British point of view, Keely Hodgkinson’s 800m gold medal-winning performance stood out. She might have been a convincing winner, but there was nothing straightforward about how the 22-year-old reached the pinnacle of her event.

For this issue we spent some time with a few of her training partners from the Manchester-based M11 Track Club, as well as one of her coaches, Jenny Meadows, to get some insight about what it’s like to work with such a great talent but also to discover the amount of work that goes into becoming the best in the world.
The USA team were the dominant force in Paris, finishing top of the medal table, and sprinter Noah Lyles was another to live up to star billing with his brilliant 100m win. The sprint events saw the emergence of a number of a new champions, too, and we examine the changing of the guard among the fastest athletes on the planet.

There were a number of superb contests at the Stade de France, and on the roads of Versailles in the marathon, but we also ask what ingredients are needed to make a great race.

Add in our examination of the men’s and women’s 1500m events, plus why the US have set the LA 2028 Games up beautifully and the 10 biggest moments provided by the field eventers, we have every Olympic angle covered.

We also have a 10-page Parlaympics preview section, featuring interviews with some of Britain’s top names and some of the other athletes to watch out for in the French capital.

There’s an exclusive interview with former sprint star Linford Christie, too, plus our performance section packed with training advice and reviews of the latest trail running footwear.
