    Annoyed that I missed this. There was a show on Sky Sports 4 last night at midnight called Sporting Greats - Haile Gebreselassie.

    I've checked the Sky Sports listings up until next Sunday night and it's not repeated (as far as I can see), whereas episodes featuring other sportspeople are. Hopefully it will be repeated again soon, unless the showing at midnight last night was the last showing for a while.

    Try youtubing every now and again :)

    Probably a different documentary, but sure most documentaries are all the same anyway.

    Yeah was decent enough. 30 minutes was way too short to fit in 3 athletes though. Mark is a top bloke, thought he came across really well.

    I think it was supposed to be streamed on the BBC website last night but I don't know if it was or not. Anyway, Bekele won the 10,000m.

    Michael Johnson: Survival of the Fastest

    The four-time Olympic gold medallist embarks on a personal journey in a bid to understand whether a possible link between the transatlantic slave trade and genetic selection may be a factor in the continuing success of African-American and Caribbean athletes at top-flight events. He also explores the appalling crimes carried out on slave ships and plantation owners' barbaric breeding programmes.

    London Calling gave a good insight last night of Jamie Costin, and into what a grueling event the 50km walk is. It was funny how Jamie had to explain to his father he can't work on the farm 24/7 as he has to train and recover twice a day. He did however milk the cows morning and evening!

    Interesting too to have an insight into the life of Aileen Morrison, the triathlete. She took a nasty fall a couple of years back in London but has bounced back since. She's now ranked top 10 in the world and hopefully will feature well in London.

    Next week continues with Jamie Costin as well as introducing Ciarán O'L. Should be good!

    Don't tell Tunguska about this. He'll be up in arms. ;)
