He started here. Now he’s coming back for number five. Welcome to the Birmingham 2026 podcast 🏟️ 🥇

We sat down with Matt for a conversation about where it all started, what it took to get here, and what it means to race in front of the city that helped shape you.

Matt joined Birchfield Harriers at nine years old, trained at Alexander Stadium as a junior and ran his first races on this iconic track, in this city, in front of his people.

Four European golds, a European 400m record of 43.44, Olympic silver in Paris and a full circle homecoming story this August awaits.
