#39: Unique athlete art exhibition includes multi-talented hurdler Marli Jessop

The England Athletics Podcast

This month's episode focuses on The Art of the Athlete exhibition, which showcases the likes of Olympic 800m medallist Keely Hodgkinson. The project at London's Zari Gallery during the month of May is raising money for the Ron Pickering Memorial Fund and Lloyd Cowan Bursary Fund. One of the artists, Marli Jessop talks to host Alex Seftel about the inspiration behind her art and also discusses what it meant to receive her first Great Britain call-up to the Loughborough International event, in the same month that she showed celebrities how to hurdle on television for ITV show The Games.
