The World Masters Athletics Championships in Daegu keep delivering incredible stories.

In part two of our Daegu series, Benjamin Brömme catches up with Jan Boyke Seemann directly from South Korea.

One of our Masters Athletics videos has now reached more than one million people, showing just how much potential there is around the stories, personalities and performances in Masters sport.

We also talk about some of the most emotional moments of the championships, outstanding sprint performances, world records, the incredible atmosphere inside the stadium and the extreme heat the athletes are dealing with.

Another familiar name returns: former MainAthlet Podcast guest Beatrice Puiu, who Boyke has also supported as a coach, is competing in Daegu and adding another remarkable chapter to her Masters career.

And away from the track, there was major news at the WMA General Assembly: Lima will no longer host the 2028 World Masters Athletics Championships. Breda in the Netherlands is set to take over, while Houston was selected for 2030.

We also discuss the new Gallery of Champions, life behind the scenes at the championships – and whether Boyke is actually getting any sleep at all.
