HISTORY OF WORLD ATHLETICS:
This project let me bring something a little different to World Athletics; blending education, history, and humour to spotlight some of the sport’s more unusual stories over the years. From Carl Lewis’ unexpected run-in with a bee to legendary rivalries, the series dives into moments that may not have made the front pages but are far too interesting to be left behind. A series I had the opportunity to develop entirely from concept to completion. 
Carl Lewis & the Bee:
Gail Devers vs Merlene Ottey:
Julius Yego: The YouTube Taught Javelinist:
Eliud Kipchoge:
Charles Kamathi & His Tooth Replacement
