Hannah joins Rich from Budapest to preview the first ever World Athletics Ultimate Championship, which could be a watershed moment for the future of the sport - featuring new innovations, straight finals in many events, and competition changes in an event unashamedly made for TV and targeted at bringing in new audiences. We go over the big changes, why it matters for track and field - and why even the doubters should be won over. Podium will be back with daily podlets from the Ultimates for 'The Day After', dropping each morning from Saturday.
