E48: Chris & Nik Nikic - The World's First 6 Star Finisher with Down's Syndrome

March 2024 saw barriers broken at the Tokyo Marathon by a man whose dedication to being 1% better every day is utterly inspiring - Chris Nikic.

The first to complete the 6 Abbott Majors as an athlete with Down's Syndrome, his outlook on resilience, progress and motivation should rouse us all, so it's a joy for Chris and his father Nik to join us on this episode of Marathon Talk.

It's an episode not to be missed, as we give you the rundown on everything to look out for at the Olympics in Paris!

In this episode of Marathon Talk:

0:00 - Deena kicks us off with a look back at her various vacation escapades, and Martin brings us into the mindset of feeling fast, without necessarily running it
9:55 - The Olympics are upon us, and we preview the big stories to watch out for, from Sifan Hassan's packed schedule, to Team GB's promising prospects, and of course our pick of the favourites from the marathon field - plus Deena shares just what it's like as an elite athlete to prepare for the Olympics
31:50 - The inspirational story of Chris Nikic and his father Nik is the subject of a moving new documentary, so it's high time to break down the remarkable mindset of a man whose resilience saw him become the first athlete with Down's Syndrome to become a 6 Star Finisher!
