Wheelchair racing legend Marcel Hug joins us for a chat about his longevity in a sport which he continues to dominate. Having just turned 40, the Swiss 'Silver Bullet' talks about what continues to motivate him, innovations in the sport, para-athletics' visibility in day-to-day life and whether he'll be racing at Los Angeles 2028.
Marcel was speaking to us courtesy of London Marathon Events, having been announced for this April's race - and ahead of competing at the Tokyo Marathon on 1 March.
