Athletics shows what the human body is capable of in all kinds of disciplines. And those are often great achievements. Yet the mother of sports also has dark sides, such as doping and the discussion about dress codes. In episode 3 of ‘The Beauty of Sport’ All this will be discussed and NH Sport reporter Erik-Jan Brinkman will speak with many prominent figures from the athletics world in North Holland.
Top sprinter Jamile Samuel, pole vaulter Menno Vloon and javelin thrower Lisanne Schol have their say. They tell us what they think is the beauty of athletics, but they also openly state their views on doping and the discussion about dress codes. “I think that’s very bad, because that shouldn’t be a question.”
