1 00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:04,320 This episode of the City Smack podcast is presented by X 2 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:06,640 Endurance. When you finish a hard workout, 3 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:10,160 whether it's a long run or a workout on the track or a big 4 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,760 lift session, the work isn't actually done. 5 00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,200 We all know this. That's when recovery starts. 6 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,160 It can get expensive to constantly pop into a smoothie 7 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,840 shop after a run. So one of the things that I've 8 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,680 been doing lately is using X Endurance protein, which is 9 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,960 designed specifically to help your body recover, rebuild, and 10 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,880 get stronger after training. I'm super excited to welcome X 11 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,320 Endurance into Cydia Smack's family of sponsors since I've 12 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,920 watched them support many professional athletes over the 13 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,040 last decade. Mac back in the day was an ex 14 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,720 endurance athlete. Lately you may have seen Jess 15 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,760 McClain using their product as she builds up to the Boston 16 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,080 Marathon. What makes their protein a 17 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,680 little different is their blend. It combines 4 different types of 18 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,960 protein so your body gets both fast absorbing protein for 19 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,320 immediate recovery and slower release protein to support 20 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,200 muscle repair over time. Each serving delivers 20 grams 21 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,800 of protein and over 4 grams of BCA AS, which help support 22 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,200 muscle growth and recovery after long sessions. 23 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,960 It also includes electrolytes and vitamins B6B12 and D to 24 00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:18,880 support your overall recovery. And one thing that I've 25 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,240 appreciated is that it's easy on the stomach. 26 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,040 No bloating or digestion issues like you sometimes get with 27 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,920 other whey proteins. You just mix 1 scoop with about 28 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,040 four to 6 ounces of liquid and it's great before a workout, 29 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,080 after a workout, or really anytime during the day when you 30 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,800 want to support your recovery. Now if you want to go crazy, 31 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,680 here's my go to mix which is the chocolate protein, half a 32 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,880 banana, a scoop of peanut butter, ice and some almond 33 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,240 milk. Mix it all together delicious. 34 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,560 If you're putting in the work and training X Endurance protein 35 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,200 can help your body bounce back and get you ready for that next 36 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,560 big session.

All right, we are back. 44 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:30,120 It is Monday, April 6th. I'm Chris Chavez. 45 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,720 I'm Preet Majethia. And this week in track and field 46 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,960 we've got quite a bit to dissect, even though there 47 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,720 really weren't too many meets that were highlighted going into 48 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,080 last week. But we had Shakira Richardson 49 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,040 flying out to Australia and winning a race that's been run 50 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:50,720 since 1878 and then going absolutely viral. 51 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,720 We'll talk about that because Shane Thompson erased a world 52 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,480 record that had been sitting in the books since Bill Clinton's 53 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,760 first term. It was the 1:50. 54 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,240 So we'll talk a little bit. We'll touch on that one. 55 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,600 BYU freshman Jane Hettergren showed up for her first outdoor 56 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:12,680 race of the 2026 season and broke a collegiate record in the 57 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:17,120 10K by 4 seconds. Then we also had Colin, Kevin 58 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,040 and Shipby of Botswana, the 400 meter world champion, running 59 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,880 9.89 in 100 twice in the same day. 60 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,800 So we're going to unpack all of that. 61 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,640 We also had a couple performances out at the Florida 62 00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:34,640 Relays in Gainesville, FL, where I was at. 63 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,720 And yeah, then there was some Rd. races taking place in 64 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,960 Europe, so we'll touch on all of that. 65 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,200 Preet, how was your weekend? Yeah, it was a busy one, 66 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,360 obviously, Easter break, So a four day weekend for us here in 67 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,280 in the UK, which I don't think you guys have quite the same in 68 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,480 the US, But yeah, four day weekend. 69 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,200 But I had one of my busiest weekends of the year. 70 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,120 I do there's a big Hindi festival where I do, there's 71 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,240 like 20 musicians going for 8 hours and I do all the audio and 72 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,360 the live streaming and all of that kind of stuff. 73 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,600 So I was running around doing that and then I was up seeing 74 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,960 family today. It's about two hours north of 75 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:14,360 here, so yeah, just literally got back about 20 minutes ago. 76 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,920 So yeah, been been a pretty busy weekend. 77 00:04:17,399 --> 00:04:20,680 Yeah, for one weekend you turn into Mac fleet just just kind of 78 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,600 handling all of the production side of. 79 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,440 Things, Oh yeah, no, no, I've been doing this kind of thing 80 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:25,800 for years. Obviously I haven't done it 81 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,760 fastidious yet, but yeah, no, I, I have been doing a lot of this, 82 00:04:28,840 --> 00:04:31,480 this kind of thing for, for the last like 10-15 years. 83 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:36,520 So yeah, yeah. And it makes me appreciate how 84 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,760 hard it is to do what Mack does. Right. 85 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,680 So I'm doing a far less sophisticated live stream than 86 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,320 anything Mack does. And it's hard work to get it 87 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,000 all, all to line up all the graphics to appear when you want 88 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,920 them to and all the cameras to switch or you want them to and 89 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,320 all that kind of stuff. So yeah, big shout out to Mack 90 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,320 for the for the hard work he does to make those streams look 91 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,040 look as good as they do. I'm very excited for the one 92 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,120 we've got lined up for the Boston Marathon. 93 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:09,320 We're going to do a watch along with Brooks on Monday, marathon 94 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:14,440 day, and he's been working hard on some graphics and the way 95 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,000 we're going to present some live splits. 96 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:22,680 So this watch along where it'll be me, Kyle, Eric and Aisha 97 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,960 might be a little different than in years past, but also hitting 98 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,400 people with all of the information that they need to 99 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,320 follow along with what's happening at the pro races. 100 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,600 So the Boston Marathon weekend schedule is coming along, and so 101 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,200 we'll share our full details on that very soon. 102 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:45,600 I'll include links in the show notes of this episode on just 103 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,320 everything that we've got lined up from our shakeout run on 104 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,640 Saturday morning, where we're going to have all of the Brooks 105 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:52,800 Pro runners coming out for that one. 106 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,320 You'll be able to RSVP to that. We'll have a live conversation 107 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,560 with Jess McClain immediately following that. 108 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,520 We'll also be around all throughout marathon weekend with 109 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,120 Eric and Aisha's live show on Friday, the New Balance indoor 110 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:14,160 marathon relay on Saturday. And so if you're in Boston, it's 111 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,360 one of the best weekends of the year. 112 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,680 I'm still facing sort of my book deadline in, in, I think it's 113 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,240 like 2-3 months. And I'm hoping to bottle up so 114 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:30,680 much of the marathon excitement there to ultimately, yeah, I 115 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,960 mean, you know, put the final touches on my manuscripts, which 116 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,000 is coming up very soon. Very. 117 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,320 Exciting. We look forward to reading it. 118 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:42,960 Well, yeah, the first draft is. I'm very curious to see how much 119 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,680 of it ends up making it into the final version. 120 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,800 I guess like I was given a certain word count and I'm 121 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,760 getting pretty close to there's a minimum and a maximum. 122 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,760 I think I'll probably hit the maximum. 123 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,280 And then from there, we end up seeing like what really makes it 124 00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:06,640 because I could probably end up maybe throwing in too many 125 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,080 details or too many numbers on some things that, you know, when 126 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,560 I'm talking to fellow runners and stuff, that's where you can 127 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,240 kind of get lost in the weeds a little bit. 128 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,960 And so that's I'm lucky to have, you know, a good team of editors 129 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,600 behind me to really make it appeal to as many people as 130 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,120 possible, both the the die hard, you know, running fans and then 131 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,560 also, you know, the first timers who will be picking this thing 132 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,800 up in 2027, hopefully. Yeah. 133 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:36,600 So yeah, that should we get into this weekend, this weekend's 134 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,560 action. Well, well, how was your weekend 135 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,360 actually, because you are here, you had a bit of travel as well 136 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,600 and and a bit of fun down in in Florida. 137 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:50,920 Yeah, I was down in Gainesville for the 6th edition of the Magic 138 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,080 Boost program. We've had a couple different 139 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:57,960 classes now and so for people who may not be as familiar with 140 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:03,280 the Magic Boost, I started this with a group back in 2021 to try 141 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:08,520 and improve the diversity and gender representation within the 142 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:13,040 track and field media landscape. And so we've got, you know, I 143 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,640 think it's over 40 alums of this program now from Tiara Williams, 144 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:22,000 who does all the real Talk with T interviews, you know, Serenity 145 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,920 Douglas, who you've probably seen on some of the American 146 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,800 Track League and ESPN and Athos broadcast. 147 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,360 You know, lots and lots of folks have have come through the 148 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,720 program and Serenity and T were with me this weekend as they 149 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:41,919 kind of gave back as mentors to this year's focus was put on 150 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,880 broadcast. And so we looked for young 151 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:51,200 rising, you know, fresh new voices that we can try and give 152 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:56,760 the guidance and mentorship when it came to breaking into the 153 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,720 broadcast space in track and field and running. 154 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:05,200 And so we put out an application and received I think it was like 155 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,960 close to 100 applicants for it and ultimately chose a class of 156 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,200 8, some of them in college, some of them fresh out of college. 157 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:20,080 And you know, we've see these broadcasts sometimes could use a 158 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:25,520 little bit more energy, some some youth definitely inserted 159 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:31,280 into it and some energy. So we have been, you know, 160 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,280 working with them via Zoom on Wednesday nights. 161 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,160 And then this time around I chose to, you know, kind of 162 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:42,760 build the programming for this group around the Florida Relays, 163 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:47,040 which is not, you know, the Prefontaine Classic or, or 164 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:51,120 anything like that. So it's, you know, a 2 day meet 165 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,240 where there's high school, college and pro athletes 166 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:57,240 competing, which allows for more opportunities for the Magic 167 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,640 Boost crew to get some reps when it came to simulating race 168 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,200 calls, doing post race interviews. 169 00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:07,160 And we brought in John Anderson, long time Sports Center anchor, 170 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:12,000 who is on the broadcast for the NCA championships. 171 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,280 He's done some work for the World Championships in the 172 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,160 Olympics, you know, on the Olympic broadcast service, 173 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,280 Carrie Tollefson, who's on every, you know, running 174 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,760 broadcast that's out there. And so it was really, really 175 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:27,600 cool for them to serve as our our coaches where as they're 176 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,680 doing these race call simulations or these interviews, 177 00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:35,200 they're able to get like live, real time feedback from these 178 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:39,680 veterans of the game. And, and then T and serenity 179 00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:41,360 would also help out with all of that. 180 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:46,000 And it was, you know, just really, you know, awesome to see 181 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,080 the growth that some people had from, you know, the first day 182 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,080 and the first call that they got to do to, you know, toward the 183 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,680 end of the second day where they were speaking with, you know, 184 00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:01,240 more volume, more confidence. And, you know, stepping into 185 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,080 their step, stepping out of their comfort zones really and 186 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,520 calling, you know, if they were someone like Freddie Crittenden, 187 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,880 who's a member of this year's program, calling an 800 meter 188 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,680 race or something like that. And because you never know, you 189 00:11:15,680 --> 00:11:19,320 know, if you are on the call for a high school nationals or 190 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,640 something like that, how you might be calling 20 heats of the 191 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:29,960 high school boys 800 and then 40 heats of the girls 200. 192 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,360 So this was a really, really great learning opportunity. 193 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,920 So we're super thankful to the University of Florida journalism 194 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,840 school for working with us around it. 195 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,640 And then on top of that, also the track and field program at 196 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,000 Florida, coach Mike Holloway, Adrian Melendez, the director of 197 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,600 OPS and Malia, who is the Sid there. 198 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:55,320 So it was awesome. So that for me, that's kind of 199 00:11:55,320 --> 00:12:02,800 like one of the most rewarding parts of of kind of my role with 200 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,720 the with the program as the quote, I guess director of 201 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,480 sorts. And so look, look out for some 202 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:15,840 of these magic boosters to be potentially on broadcast sooner 203 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,040 rather than later. But we've still got quite a 204 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,600 couple more weeks of Zoom programming for them. 205 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,320 But this was great to see them all in action in person. 206 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,880 So yeah. Yeah, I mean, I saw, I saw a few 207 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,400 little clips and I think one of the most fun things was was 208 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,600 Paulie Throws and Freddie Christenden, a bit of an 209 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,840 unlikely duo, teaming up on a race call for 400. 210 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,520 That was that was pretty cool. So yeah, there was some, there 211 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,680 was some. It looked like it was good fun. 212 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:44,280 Paul was an honorary member of the Magic Boost class of 2026 213 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,480 because he's a University of Florida journalism student. 214 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,720 And so he kind of, you know, got absorbed into all of our weekend 215 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,720 programming and I was blown away. 216 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:57,800 He's I think gonna be on the call, as you know, post throw 217 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:04,640 reporter this weekend in Ramona there there's a big throws meet 218 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:09,080 happening there and he's going to get a chance to be the Lewis 219 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:15,760 Johnson of throws essentially. And but I got to see him call a 220 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:22,240 4 by 4 and 801 ten hurdles race and he's good. 221 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:26,520 He's he's really, really good. And I showed the clip to Kyle, 222 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,120 who I wish he was on this. He couldn't make today's 223 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:30,960 episode. But he said, like now if we get 224 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,440 Paul smoking some cigarettes and he adds a little bit of 225 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:37,640 raspiness to his his voice, he might, he might have the real 226 00:13:37,680 --> 00:13:42,000 true like broadcaster voice. But we don't want Paul to start 227 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,680 smoking cigarettes. Instead, we want Paul to to run 228 00:13:45,680 --> 00:13:49,560 more and he might, he's, he's been running quite a bit and 229 00:13:49,560 --> 00:13:52,680 he's going to be testing himself in the 5K this this fall. 230 00:13:52,680 --> 00:13:56,760 I think we're making some plans for him to, to run a quick 5K in 231 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:02,520 November or something like that. So, yeah, no very, very fun, fun 232 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,200 weekend. But I did find myself, you know, 233 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,920 occasionally, you know, checking out what was happening all 234 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,520 around the world. And so let's talk about that. 235 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,840 Let's start with the one I guess that we've been seeing have the 236 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,840 most attention on social media over the last 48 hours, and 237 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:24,440 that's Shikari Richardson winning the stalwell gift. 238 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,560 Now, before this weekend, Preet, had you heard of this race? 239 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,400 Yeah, I think I've seen it the last couple of years because it 240 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,880 does get a bit of play on on social media and obviously there 241 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:34,800 isn't a huge amount going on at this time of year. 242 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,000 So you do see a little bit about it. 243 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,440 But yeah, I've never really understood it because obviously 244 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,040 it's a bit weird. It's a race on grass. 245 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,400 It's a really weird distance. It's 100. 246 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:47,880 And 120. Meters, yeah. 247 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:52,120 So it's like it's very, very confusing as to what this whole 248 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:53,920 thing is all about. I think they also have some 249 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,000 other races as well, but but we see the highlight and the kind 250 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,040 of premier race is this 120 meter race for both men and 251 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,160 women. And, and the weird thing about 252 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:07,280 it is this handicap, right, that there are, they always have like 253 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:08,760 a couple of star athletes, right? 254 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,680 And they're trying to chase down obviously a bunch of other 255 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,720 athletes who are given. And, and the, the star athletes 256 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,440 are kind of given more of a handicap relative to, to the 257 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,920 other athletes to see. And and then you see who's going 258 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:23,400 to win and, and he can catch them. 259 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,200 Yeah. So just a little bit of 260 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:31,160 additional context on there. I believe that there's, oh man, 261 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:32,360 I can't do the conversion on this. 262 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:37,280 What? What would you think £81,000 is 263 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:42,400 in USD? British pounds or yeah, I've got 264 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:46,080 probably about 100 and $110,000, a $120,000 somewhere in that 265 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,320 hundred, yeah, something, yeah, hundred, $110,000, yeah, 266 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:50,440 something like that. Yeah. 267 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,000 So I think they have that much money and prize money I think 268 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:58,040 across both both genders. And you know, they, they divide 269 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:02,400 it up. There's 700 people competing 270 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:06,000 this over three days. Now she carried didn't race, you 271 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:11,840 know, over three days, I think she carried raced twice, one on 272 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:16,000 I believe it must have been Saturday and the one on Sunday. 273 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,480 The one on Saturday was the first one to go viral because 274 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:24,560 she won, made-up the gap and advanced to the final. 275 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,680 But there was a drone angle that was taken from above that, you 276 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,800 know, showed just how she was able to do it. 277 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,840 And everyone was going crazy over how impressive it was 278 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,520 actually. Like, this is maybe the closest 279 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:42,240 thing that we have out there to that super often viral tweet 280 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,160 that comes up every Olympic Games where it's like, I wish 281 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:49,480 there was an average Joe competing against the Olympians 282 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,520 to see just how they would do well here. 283 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,440 Here it is. It's it's and we're giving the 284 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:58,400 average Joe's a head start. The race takes place in 285 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:03,120 Stalwell, which is a rural Australian town. 286 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:08,480 And so if you were impressed by the way Shakira didn't just 287 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,119 advance to the final, she won the whole thing because on this 288 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:19,040 on the final day, she had I think a 9m gap to the next 289 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,680 person, which is there's some pretty talented younger 290 00:17:23,319 --> 00:17:26,319 Australian sprinters. I believe they're some of them 291 00:17:26,319 --> 00:17:28,640 in high school, some of them maybe a little bit older than 292 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:32,640 that. And in historically the likes of 293 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,120 Linford Christie, Asafa Powell, Kathy Freeman have participated 294 00:17:36,120 --> 00:17:39,040 at this thing and won it, but it's never a really a guarantee 295 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,640 that the professional runner is going to come away victorious. 296 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,800 On the men's side, Christian Coleman, she carries boyfriend, 297 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:51,920 2019 world champion in the 100 meters, 60 meter indoor world 298 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,080 record holder. He competed, but he was 299 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:58,760 eliminated in the semi finals. He finished 5th in that, wasn't 300 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:03,400 able to make up the gap, and so he didn't get to compete. 301 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:08,560 I forget what's the name of the like Shakiri's literally 302 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,720 stealing all the headlines that I don't have the name of the 303 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:16,800 winning guy. Oh, actually it was Olu Femi 304 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:24,400 Como Lafay. He's the guy who won on the 305 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:30,200 men's side, but Shikari wins by Point O 5 / 19 year old 306 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:36,480 Charlotte Nielsen and she pockets $27,500 for the victory. 307 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,440 And once again, the video of that final is going viral. 308 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:47,800 And now I guess before we go any further into just sort of like 309 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,600 the Internet discussion around it, what do you make of the 310 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,080 actual sort of performance by Shakiri and what it could signal 311 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:58,680 for the 2026 outdoor season? Because we've seen her open up 312 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:03,240 quick and then we've also seen her open up slow and kind of 313 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,160 bad. That was maybe the 2025 314 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:10,760 storyline. But when she opened up in 2023, 315 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:15,520 it was fast and and this is more aligned with what we saw 316 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:21,280 2023-2024 she carry to kind of look like and that's a good sign 317 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:25,000 of things to come because that would signal that she would be a 318 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,160 mental threat, which is not what she was last year. 319 00:19:29,120 --> 00:19:30,920 Yeah, I mean, I she looked really good. 320 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,360 Let's be honest. She looked healthy. 321 00:19:32,360 --> 00:19:35,560 She looked really good and she looked like she was having fun 322 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,120 out there. So I mean, I think that's that's 323 00:19:38,120 --> 00:19:40,640 what we can ask. Obviously it's early, as we 324 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,840 always say, might be too early to judge anything, but I think 325 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,000 we are. I think she is going to go over 326 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,880 to China from here for the for the Chinese diamond leagues. 327 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:53,160 She normally does run some some 2 hundreds and and stuff in in 328 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,440 China. So I guess that'll be the the 329 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,880 kind of real test of where she's at. 330 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,760 But she definitely looks. You know, from that performance 331 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,640 she looks definitely in a better place than she was last year. 332 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:11,320 So yeah, looks quite exciting. I think the suggestion was that 333 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:17,280 her 100m split was 11 O, so if that's the case then then then 334 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,080 that sounds pretty good to be honest, especially when you're 335 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:26,120 running 120 meter race. So that's not on grass without I 336 00:20:26,120 --> 00:20:26,800 think. I don't know. 337 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,480 They didn't really have proper blocks, do they? 338 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,360 It's like. Yeah, and there was also just 339 00:20:30,360 --> 00:20:33,000 like a tiny little bit of incline as well. 340 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,680 This is where I think people who get this deep into the 341 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,720 performance start to lose me a bit. 342 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,440 I think it was just really cool that, you know, she's one 343 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,880 healthy race #2 racing and #3 having fun. 344 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:51,160 Like those are the biggest, I think components that could make 345 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:55,720 for some more legitimate and great track performances that 346 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,880 that are that are to come. I saw the numbers floating 347 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:03,480 around that she split, you know, faster in this 120 than Julian 348 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:10,920 Alfred did in her London Diamond League 200 and faster than some 349 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:15,840 Sharika Jackson split. And it's like, no, now you're 350 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:17,280 now you're getting a little carried away. 351 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,000 Like that's making too much out of this performance. 352 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:25,400 She's healthy. She came from behind this field 353 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,440 to take the win. She's such a compelling 354 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,800 personality when she's on. She's on right now. 355 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:36,680 And now it only kind of makes this, you know, more excited for 356 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,120 the first potential showdown that we have with her and her 357 00:21:40,120 --> 00:21:41,720 training partner, Melissa Jefferson Wooden. 358 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,320 And there may have been like a tiny degree of concern over 359 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:49,120 Melissa Jefferson Wooden pulling out of the Miramar Invitational 360 00:21:49,120 --> 00:21:54,800 this past weekend in another part of Florida, but she was 361 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,760 there to cheer on her teammates. And from the little bit of the 362 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,840 broadcast that I caught, like she said, because someone said 363 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:02,800 when they interviewed her, they're like, oh, you're a 364 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,560 little bit banged up right now. And that's why I didn't get to 365 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,760 race. Like, what What brought you out 366 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,240 here today? And she, like, made it very 367 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:09,400 clear. She's like, no, I'm not banged 368 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,240 up right now. Like, I'm just, you know, taking 369 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,720 my time. And there's no point in the 370 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,600 triple gold medalist to open up at a meet like the Miramar 371 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,440 Invitational. Like again, sort of this is 372 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:26,920 where sometimes the the lack of a huge professional structure in 373 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:32,080 this sport and you end up having college kids and high school 374 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,880 kids racing against these world class athletes. 375 00:22:35,120 --> 00:22:38,120 But Melissa knows her worth. I think like she should open up 376 00:22:38,120 --> 00:22:41,000 at at these diamond leagues, take a big paycheck from those 377 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:45,440 DLS out in China and maybe that's where we get to see her 378 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,600 perform. I think she might be, but she 379 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,240 probably ends up opening up at Tom Jones because it's local and 380 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:54,200 close and so that's coming up in like 2 weeks out in Gainesville. 381 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:59,480 But Shakiri's already, I think announced for a 200 against Is 382 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:05,600 it Amy Hunt and Julian Alfred? Or was that, Yes, it's 383 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,960 definitely Amy Hunt. I couldn't remember who else was 384 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:13,080 was I think Sharika. I think Sharika Jackson in 385 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,800 China, yes, but I think there's 22 hundreds in China. 386 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,360 I don't know if all three of them are running both or if 387 00:23:18,360 --> 00:23:21,440 they're just running one of them, but I think Melissa did 388 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,880 say like, I think they were meant to run the women's 4 by 1. 389 00:23:25,120 --> 00:23:29,920 So Dennis Mitchell, he insisted like the guys as well, like 390 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,960 Kenny and stuff only run the four by one to open up at this 391 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,440 meet. Kenny wanted to run a 300 or 392 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:39,040 something and open up properly. But he said in his interview, it 393 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:40,640 was quite funny. Like he kept on saying, oh, 394 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,600 coach did said no. And the interview asked him, are 395 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,200 you going to are we going to see you running 400 this season? 396 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,480 He was like, yeah, I wanted to, but Coach said no. 397 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,360 And Dennis Mitchell comes in and kind of jumps on him and 398 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,760 interrupts the interview. Like, oh, it gives him a hug, 399 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:56,840 but he was probably listening to his interview. 400 00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,800 He was like, I'm getting thrown under the bus here. 401 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,720 Like ends the interview quite quickly. 402 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:05,960 I did catch that, but I didn't have my volume turned up. 403 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,280 And so I was wondering like what Dennis Mitchell jumped in to 404 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:09,920 say. But yeah, Kenny was part of a 405 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:11,760 four row one. That's what you typically see, 406 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:16,240 you know, this week and, and and next week with all these relay 407 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:21,880 meets, you just have these pro runners entered in relays to get 408 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,440 the legs going to get a feel for relays, which is not something 409 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,360 that you'll practice in a race environment much later on in the 410 00:24:29,360 --> 00:24:33,040 season. So occasionally you'll see some 411 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,280 people open up with their own individual races. 412 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:45,040 Like we saw Gabby Thomas with a 11 flat with plus 1.9 wind at 413 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:49,200 the Texas Relays. She was so, so happy because I 414 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,280 guess the clock when she crossed the finish line unofficially 415 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,040 said like, you know, 1098 or something like that. 416 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,600 But once the official results came out, it was another 11 417 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,600 flat. But it's a good, it's a good 418 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:06,440 sign of things to come. And you know, she put a gap on 419 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,960 the women behind her who were also pretty accomplished. 420 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:14,040 So a good sign from from Gabby at Texas Relays, even though it 421 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,840 was crushing that it wasn't when legal and under 11. 422 00:25:18,360 --> 00:25:21,640 This episode of the City Smack podcast is supported by Wahoo. 423 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:27,000 You've got 26.2 miles of work, Heartbreak Hill, the Newton 424 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:32,000 Hills, that long grinding stretch from mile 16 to 20. 425 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,400 You've studied the course. You've circled the date on the 426 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,400 calendar. You've sacrificed the early 427 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,680 mornings for long runs. You've sacrificed your social 428 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:41,920 plans. You've put in the work. 429 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:46,480 But there's a difference between knowing a course and knowing a 430 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,840 course. Have you felt the gradient shift 431 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,800 under your feet? Have you practice holding your 432 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,680 pace when the hill doesn't care about your goal time? 433 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:59,040 With the Wahoo Kicker Run, you can simulate the exact Boston or 434 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,200 London Marathon course right in your own home. 435 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,320 Upload the GPX file into the Wahoo app and the Kicker Runs 436 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,000 Automatic grade control.

Every hill rehearsed, every 440 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,000 crucial on course moment. Practice. 441 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,840 No guessing at all.

Many thanks to Wahoo for coming 463 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,600 back on as a sponsor of the Sidious Mag Podcast. 464 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,640 Yeah. And I think this is obviously 465 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:43,440 the storyline that sort of came to the fore, I mean close to the 466 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:49,000 fore every time this time of year of her sort of near misses 467 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:55,640 in, you know, in, in the in the 100 meters. 468 00:27:55,640 --> 00:28:00,880 I think she's run 11.00 wind legal three times and she's run 469 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:05,360 sub ten wind illegal 5 or 6 Times Now over the last few 470 00:28:05,360 --> 00:28:08,160 years. So it's got to be pretty like 471 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,960 the wind gods just have it in for air or the timing gods, 472 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:17,160 whoever it is like that. She hasn't got her sub 11, even 473 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,720 just a 10.99. And you kind of really hope that 474 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,960 she eventually gets it because obviously it is it is one of 475 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:24,680 those things that she really wants on her resume. 476 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,240 And yeah, it's, it's just a a bit of a shame that that she 477 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,880 hasn't quite quite got on there on that. 478 00:28:32,120 --> 00:28:34,920 I think it's going to bug her when, like, then you had Mariah 479 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:39,040 Maxwell, the high schooler at the same meet, beating all of 480 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:45,120 the collegians in the 200 there. She ran like a win dated 2225. 481 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,880 But, you know, you put Mariah Maxwell in 100, and maybe 482 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,360 there's a chance that she also gets under 11 seconds. 483 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,960 And then you're just Gabby sitting from afar being like, 484 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:56,680 what? Come on, Like, why? 485 00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:01,280 Why can't I finally do it? So listen, I think I said this 486 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,240 last year around this time, Gabby, I feel you. 487 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:09,000 I was very much the same way when it came to the sub 5 minute 488 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,400 mile. But once you do it, you're gonna 489 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:16,000 feel amazing and then you'll never have to do it again. 490 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,600 And that's that. I mean, didn't in our group 491 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,240 chat, Anderson say something like he thinks that she should 492 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:27,240 kind of divert more of her effort towards the 24 instead of 493 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,320 dabbling with 100? I, I, I was like busy with a 494 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,960 bunch of stuff, so I didn't. I mean, you know, I, I think 495 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,000 she's kind of said that's what she's doing. 496 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,240 I think she's been pretty open about that's what she's doing. 497 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:41,040 But I think obviously she still wants that sub 1100, right? 498 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,040 But either way, either way, right, she's healthy, which is a 499 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:48,520 great sign. And and I think just signs from 500 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:52,800 this weekend, the women's 200 meters, things are looking up. 501 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,200 Sharika Jackson is healthy and running. 502 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,440 She ran a 300 at Miramar. She didn't win it. 503 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,520 She ran a bit slower than she ran the 300 at Miramar last 504 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,880 year. She ran a bit slower, but she 505 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:08,040 ran 36.15 last year, 36.51 this year. 506 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,840 But at the same time, she's healthy, she's running. 507 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,920 And we know like she rounded into metal shape by the end of 508 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:18,000 end of last season. And also Shawnee Miller Weibo 509 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:23,680 ran 2243 for 200 meters, which is a mighty impressive opener. 510 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,720 To be honest, I thought that that was probably the biggest 511 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:30,880 kind of thing for the 200. But having Gabby healthy Sharika 512 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,560 Shawnee, obviously Melissa's there. 513 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:35,440 She carry might be getting back to her best. 514 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:40,520 Julian's healthy and good to go. I think we could get some. 515 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,960 I'm not sure we'll get them all matching up in the 200 until 516 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:49,440 maybe World Ultimate, but if we do, Elaine's also healthy and 517 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,560 opened up. So, you know, could be some 518 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,480 exciting matchups anyway over the 200 to come this year. 519 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,320 There's just not enough lanes with all this talent, right? 520 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:03,240 Like if you were to, if you were to pick, you know, eight or nine 521 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,800 of the most intriguing 200 meter runners right now, Like let's go 522 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,560 with, all right, the three medalists from last year, right? 523 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:15,960 You got Melissa, Amy, who's bronze, Sharika, Sharika. 524 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:17,680 All right, so that's three lanes. 525 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:19,920 There's Shakari in there 'cause you need Shakari. 526 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,960 Throw Shawn A in there 'cause she's rounding into form. 527 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,320 That's 5 already. Julian 6. 528 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,320 Julian, Alfred. It's the Olympic silver 529 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,880 medalist. Gabby Thomas. 530 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:38,000 Gabby Thomas, Brittany Brown, Obviously Deena, Rasher Smith 531 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,240 throw in there. Yeah, I think you've got. 532 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,240 Yeah, I think, I think that. Where's the Navy battle? 533 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:45,120 Where's McCain? Yeah. 534 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,760 Exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. 535 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,800 I mean, I think I really hope we get to see them all at World 536 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:52,240 Ultimates now. I don't know if everyone will 537 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:53,600 double. That's the only unfortunate 538 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,960 thing about World Ultimates is it's a three day schedule. 4 539 00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:00,360 races, 3 days. Maybe not everyone will double, 540 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:01,840 but the. Money. 541 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,840 The money, the money might mean that they do and. 542 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:08,080 And it is, you know, yeah. So, so, so maybe it should be 543 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:12,400 right, But but it would be it. Yeah, let's see. 544 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,760 But yeah, I'm excited because I think 2022, we had this moment 545 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:21,040 in the 200 where it was looking like we were the 200 was going 546 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,240 to be insane for the next few years. 547 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:28,840 And then obviously Sharika was kind of like the queen in 2023 548 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,320 and and then kind of 2024 and 2025. 549 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,880 The times didn't kind of obviously once Rika got injured 550 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:41,560 and then sort of we didn't really get the match ups and the 551 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:45,120 times in the same way. Credit to Gabby for doing what 552 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,640 she needed to do and winning that that Olympic title. 553 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,080 And obviously Melissa obviously was focused on the hundreds. 554 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,440 So we saw a run a few 2 hundreds, but it wasn't the same 555 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:59,120 kind of match ups and build up to the 200 in in 2025 either. 556 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:03,000 So I'm, I'm kind of excited to see if we can get a whole bunch 557 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:08,160 of these ladies facing off across the season and, and, and 558 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:14,360 and running fast times. The world record was shaking and 559 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,680 like it was on shaky ice when it came to 2022. 560 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:22,520 I don't know, 2023 and then on very thin ice and then I think 561 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:26,440 like temperatures cooled over the last two years and it was in 562 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:30,640 a much more solid spot. But now this could be the year 563 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:34,360 where they get even closer. If you have all these people, 564 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,280 you know, really going up against one another. 565 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:42,000 And Speaking of, I guess like Flojo, because she owns the 566 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:47,960 record, we have to, we totally gloss over the fact of what else 567 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,440 has been going viral from Shakari's performance. 568 00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:54,760 And that was the fact that I don't quite know who what, what 569 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:58,920 the guy he, he looked like an AI bot for, but he's like a, is he 570 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:00,560 a professor? He's like a Blogger or 571 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:02,160 something. He's like a Blogger, Yeah. 572 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,720 He's just some kind of Blogger. He's got like 200 and something 573 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,760 thousand followers on Twitter. He randomly posted his tweet. 574 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:14,440 Newsletter and he posted the video of Shakiri's run and he 575 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,920 started it started off the tweet with like the world's fastest 576 00:34:18,199 --> 00:34:21,120 woman or the fastest no it was the fastest woman alive, 577 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:25,080 travelled to Australia blah blah blah blah blah and the 1st 5 578 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,360 words were enough to crucify him. 579 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:30,480 The poor guy. I felt a bit sorry for her. 580 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:36,080 People stopped reading and just, yeah, mostly Jamaican Twitter, I 581 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:42,639 think just threw him to the wolves and, you know, offered 582 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:46,560 tons of, you know, corrections being like, you know, she's not 583 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,080 even the fastest American alive, blah, blah, blah, blah. 584 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:51,760 And I was just like, this is so stupid. 585 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:55,719 We we we kind of talk about this annually around this time where 586 00:34:56,440 --> 00:35:00,240 people get up in arms whenever the phrase, you know, fastest 587 00:35:00,240 --> 00:35:02,920 man, fastest woman alive gets thrown around. 588 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:08,080 And when people make a mistake and it's often times like a 589 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:14,160 major sports media outlet, like a if SportsCenter did this type 590 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:15,800 of thing, this is where they kind of go. 591 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:20,400 The mob comes out all again, if this random guy just made this 592 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:24,880 mistake, tweeting out a clip, all of a sudden now his mentions 593 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,560 are just on fire because everyone thinks that, you know, 594 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:34,040 he he killed somebody basically. And I think it's just so stupid 595 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:39,160 that these are the same people who want to see, you know, the 596 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:44,800 sport reach new audiences and get more eyeballs and that kind 597 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:46,720 of stuff. But then the moment that one 598 00:35:46,720 --> 00:35:51,280 person gets excited about it and makes this tiny mistake because 599 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:55,320 they're not necessarily like the most dialed in track fan, then 600 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,440 all of a sudden it's just short of like, they they just, yeah, I 601 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:02,600 mean, crucify the person. And so that was the most 602 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,680 annoying thing I think I saw online. 603 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:06,840 So the funniest thing was the the guy LED into it. 604 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:08,880 He's pinned that tweet to the top because he got 1,000,000 605 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,280 views on that tweet. Like, I mean, he's happy, right? 606 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:13,960 Like, yeah, I. Think his follow up tweet was 607 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,080 like subscribe to my newsletter for more or whatever it was. 608 00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,240 Exactly. And, and, and to be fair, I was 609 00:36:19,240 --> 00:36:21,560 going to kind of try and I was trying to do a little bit of 610 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:25,160 like, OK, you know, there's always this discourse about who, 611 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:29,320 you know, who is the fastest man or woman alive And, and why 612 00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,520 should we call that? I was going to stir the pot a 613 00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,680 little bit and I was going to say, well, should we be 614 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,520 considering Christian Coleman and Arena Privolova, who were 615 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:38,640 the 60 meter world record holders? 616 00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,560 Or should we be considering? Well, obviously it's Usain and 617 00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,400 Flojo who are 100 and 200 meter world record holders. 618 00:36:45,240 --> 00:36:47,400 And what I found, well, obviously Flojo is no longer 619 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,640 alive, but you know, Elaine, Elaine on the 2000, sorry, 620 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:55,000 Sharika on the 200 side. But what I found was that the if 621 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:59,080 you actually calculate their speed, the 100 meter record is 622 00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:03,560 still the the quickest. So that is quicker in terms of 623 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,120 meters per second than the 60 meters, because I guess you 624 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:09,080 spend a bit more time bit a bigger proportion of the race 625 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:10,640 and 60 meters getting up to speed. 626 00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:14,400 So in terms of the speed across the whole race, it's not as 627 00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,560 quick. And at the same time, the 200 628 00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:22,240 actually they were slightly slower over the 200 than they 629 00:37:22,240 --> 00:37:25,560 were in the in those hundred quickest 100 meter quickest 630 00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:29,080 time. So I think we can definitively 631 00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,400 say we think it should be based on the 100 meters. 632 00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:36,760 And I think therefore, on that basis, the fastest people alive. 633 00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:42,600 And you say bowl and Elaine Thompson Hera, But yeah. 634 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:46,040 And and I think obviously the other title that gets debated 635 00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:49,800 massively is world's fastest man or world's fastest woman. 636 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,800 And that's the that's the other one that kind of sits alongside 637 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:54,640 this. And I think we got to the 638 00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:59,280 conclusion that that is the reigning global champion in. 639 00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:03,680 The 100 years, that's what we we want it to be, yeah. 640 00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,400 Because I think there you've kind of got, I mean, there there 641 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,320 is some debate about should it be the reigning Olympic 642 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,520 champion. But I don't think anyone would 643 00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:16,440 have said in 2022 or 2023 or 2024 up to the Olympics that 644 00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:19,560 Lamont Marcel Jacobs was the fastest, you know, was the 645 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:23,960 world's fastest man. So, you know, I don't know about 646 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,360 that. But at the same time, maybe, 647 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,200 yeah. So I think the reigning global 648 00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:33,200 champion is a fair, probably the fairest thing we're going to get 649 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,200 to. As I say, you could say, well, 650 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,000 who is the fastest person this year? 651 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:39,600 You're defining it by year. Like what? 652 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:41,720 What are you doing right? But then you have some random 653 00:38:41,720 --> 00:38:43,480 people early season. I don't know who the current 654 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,560 world leader with the 100 is, but you'll have some random 655 00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,000 people. Maybe it's, well, it's cabinet 656 00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,840 chippy who who's someone we will come on to. 657 00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:56,840 It's talking about a bit more detail shortly, but yeah, the 658 00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,880 yeah. I just think that part of it 659 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:07,240 also was that it involved Shikari and there's a population 660 00:39:07,240 --> 00:39:14,640 of people who don't like her and this only fed into it because 661 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:18,600 someone proclaimed her, you know, the fastest woman alive 662 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:23,960 and you know, Elaine Thompson hara stands are going to take 663 00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:27,160 issue with it. Sheree Jackson, Melissa 664 00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,920 Jefferson wouldn't, and not even Melissa Jefferson wooden fans 665 00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,440 because I feel like that's just generally Americans. 666 00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:39,240 So, yeah, very, very stupid to get upset over something like 667 00:39:39,240 --> 00:39:42,640 this. And I think that, you know, if 668 00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,560 there was a million people viewed that clip, then there are 669 00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,600 probably other people who were wowed by it because the drone 670 00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,640 angle was really cool. And that's a win for just sort 671 00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:55,480 of the exposure to Jakiri Richardson's brilliance. 672 00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:59,160 Although it may not be, you know, this world record setting 673 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:03,480 time, it's still very, very cool to, you know, observe. 674 00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,520 Yeah, and I think that I wanted to actually mention that drone 675 00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,280 angle. It was incredible like and 676 00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:11,560 normally I hate drone angles right, But this one because the 677 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:17,240 shadows on the grass was so perfectly visible that the 678 00:40:17,240 --> 00:40:19,360 overhead shot. It still looked like you were 679 00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:22,120 looking watching the race side on because you could see the 680 00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:27,320 shadows moving as well and because of the green grass and 681 00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:30,040 and the dark shadows like they stood out really clearly. 682 00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:34,000 The light was just perfect. It was an incredible drone shot 683 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,760 and I hate drone shots and I will complain to the NTH degree 684 00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,680 about the Miramar stream where there were some really weird 685 00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:43,800 drone shots all over the place and and crowd shots when the 686 00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:45,720 races were going on and all kinds of things. 687 00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,800 But you know the the but this this drone shot was was 688 00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:54,880 incredibly cool. Well, the one thing to take note 689 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,520 of is I don't think that should be the angle for the race 690 00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:00,560 broadcast. Like, it's very, very cool and 691 00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:02,640 awesome for a replay. Absolutely. 692 00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,000 Yeah. Like, but not that's not how you 693 00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,240 would want to watch the race as it's unfolding. 694 00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:12,760 I think still the traditional type of race that you see for an 695 00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,320 Olympic or world championship final is how you should consume 696 00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:18,560 one of these races where you're, you know, following whoever the 697 00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:22,560 leader is from start to finish. But the drone angle is what you 698 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:27,040 can use, you know, on your first sort of replay to convey someone 699 00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:29,320 making up a gap, someone's surging at the very end of the 700 00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,240 race. If you had that drone angle for 701 00:41:31,240 --> 00:41:36,240 a lot of Noah Lyles races, it'd be so, so impressive because of, 702 00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,560 you know, he's a closer and you'd be able to watch how he 703 00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:41,720 makes up the gap on his competitors. 704 00:41:41,720 --> 00:41:46,040 So hopefully there's people out there who, you know, logged onto 705 00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,240 Twitter, didn't get pissed off by the first four or five words 706 00:41:48,240 --> 00:41:52,240 of that tweet and work in TV and took note of like, oh, this 707 00:41:52,240 --> 00:41:55,640 would be really, really cool to, you know, be able to make a race 708 00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:59,840 simply go viral. Like, yeah, again, you could 709 00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:04,720 take a gout, gout, you know, race against middle schoolers or 710 00:42:04,720 --> 00:42:09,840 whatever it is that he's doing and do the same sort of angle 711 00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,200 and it would go, you know, crazy viral. 712 00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:16,440 So pro tip for broadcasting Sprint races. 713 00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:21,560 But you brought up Colin Kevin Shippy, so let's talk about him 714 00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:24,440 for a bit. He just joined one of the most 715 00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:30,280 exclusive clubs in sprinting as the men who have broken 44 716 00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:33,520 seconds in the hundred in the 410 seconds in the 100. 717 00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:37,960 He's only the 4th man ever to do that, alongside Wade Van 718 00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,760 Niekerk, Michael Norman and Fred Curley. 719 00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:46,920 He ran 9.89 in the semi finals, then backed it up with another 720 00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:51,720 9.89 in the finals 5 hours later, winning comfortably over, 721 00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:54,600 you know, his Botswana compatriot. 722 00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:58,800 I think 2nd place was 10.21. Let's see. 723 00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:02,400 Late to BOGO, the Olympic 200m champion withdrew from the heats 724 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,280 with an injury. So we didn't get to see those 725 00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:10,080 two guys go head to head. But Kevin Eshippy showcasing 726 00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:13,400 this kind of speed, it's very, very impressive. 727 00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:17,360 Although he made it clear he's not pivoting to the 100 meters. 728 00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:22,280 We've kind of seen this, you know, happen over the last 5-6 729 00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:28,320 years in track where you have the likes of Fred Curley win a 730 00:43:28,720 --> 00:43:33,560 global medal at the 400 and then transition over to the 100 and 731 00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:38,520 then he's pocketed 2 Olympic medals and a world title in the 732 00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,080 100. So that's a very, very 733 00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:44,280 successful case of that. Michael Norman teased the idea 734 00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:46,840 of doing the same exact thing. But then injuries have prevented 735 00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:50,200 him from ever really following through with the entire thing. 736 00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:54,400 And honestly, he's pretty much fallen off the face of the 737 00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:55,520 earth. There hasn't really been too 738 00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:58,960 much of an update on him in the last 18 months or so. 739 00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:02,720 Would love to see him back because he's, he is such a 740 00:44:02,720 --> 00:44:05,640 tremendous talent. But when you take him out of 741 00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:09,320 sort of the equation, Kevin Ishippy, who is the reigning 400 742 00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:14,120 meter world champion, is only looking even more even even 743 00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:17,560 stronger now that he's got this bit of short speed. 744 00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:21,920 Doesn't bode well for my bold prediction from earlier in the 745 00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:27,800 year where I said that Rye Benjamin would win the Open 4 at 746 00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:30,120 the World Ultimate Championships. 747 00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:33,520 Yeah, I mean, this was a massively impressive 748 00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:35,560 performance. Now look, I want, I want to say 749 00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:38,760 a couple of things about it. One, it was at just it's a 750 00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:42,360 Gabarone in Botswana is at 1000 meters of altitude. 751 00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:48,480 Now famously so, we have like the likes of Ferdan Amanyala 752 00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:53,360 who's run 97 in Nairobi, which is even higher altitude. 753 00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:57,920 And famously a lot of the Europeans go to a place called 754 00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:02,400 Lachau da Fonz, which is just below the 1000 meters and above 755 00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:04,840 1000 meters. Your performance gets listed at 756 00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:07,840 altitude assisted. Now I don't know, Gabberon is 757 00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,080 literally at around about 1000 meters. 758 00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:12,800 So I don't know whether this stadium was is just above or 759 00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:18,440 just below that 1000m threshold. I think it's just above because 760 00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:22,440 when you look at his performance on these databases, it is marked 761 00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:27,440 with an A. And so, yeah, it's Gaberone is 762 00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:34,360 approximately 1014 feet or meters above sea level, that's 763 00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:37,320 3327 feet. Yeah, no, I just didn't know 764 00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:40,320 whether it's in a dip or a dip or a hill within the city, 765 00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:44,640 right, but but yes, exactly. So it's on that borderline. 766 00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:48,560 And so yes, that I mean, but obviously that would probably at 767 00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:51,640 sea level would might still be a sub ten kind of performance. 768 00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:53,840 And remember this guy's only 2020. 769 00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:56,720 He's only 22. He's only just turned 22. 770 00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:00,440 He's not really built like 100 meter sprinter. 771 00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,600 He's kind of built more like a kind of 400 meter, right. 772 00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:07,320 He's not he's not very tall. He's not, you know, very sort 773 00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:10,440 of, you know, built as well in terms of that jacked. 774 00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:14,320 Yeah, he's not jacked. So like he, so he. 775 00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:15,720 Does not look like Michael Norman. 776 00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:19,720 No, he looks, he looks more like an 800 runner than he does 777 00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:22,360 closer to Michael Norman. Yeah, exactly. 778 00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:26,840 So I, I think he you know, I think, but I think you're right. 779 00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:30,760 This is very, very promising for his 400 meters and it will be 780 00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:34,240 interesting to see what he can do if he if he jumps in 100 781 00:46:34,240 --> 00:46:37,720 meters app that sea level as well to see if he can kind of 782 00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,760 replicate some some sub 10 type performances. 783 00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:43,000 And obviously, if you can do a 98, then then that'll be 784 00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:44,600 amazing. But at the very least, you know, 785 00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:46,440 if you can, you can replicate something sub 10, then then 786 00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:49,240 that'll be really good. And obviously you want to be in 787 00:46:49,240 --> 00:46:52,640 that kind of, you don't want to have that asterisk next to the 788 00:46:52,720 --> 00:46:55,960 the sub 10 when you're in that. Like you want to be in that kind 789 00:46:55,960 --> 00:47:01,160 of the sub 10100m runner, the sub sub 2200m runner, the sub 790 00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:04,480 44400m runner, of which you know, it's a very small club by 791 00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,680 Van Niekerk, Fred Curly, Michael Norman, etcetera. 792 00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:15,320 So he's got a 400 meter PB of a 4350, sorry, sorry, a 200 meter 793 00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:18,640 PBM and say of just over 20 seconds, 20/08 or something. 794 00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:22,720 So, so that looks like it could be due for some revision as well 795 00:47:22,720 --> 00:47:26,080 as so maybe you can get the sub 20 there as well as the season 796 00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:29,360 goes on. But yeah, I think still very 797 00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:33,720 impressive and and I think bodes well that he's able to replicate 798 00:47:33,720 --> 00:47:36,200 it because I think again, for a lot of people, maybe he came a 799 00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:38,000 little bit out of nowhere last season. 800 00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:41,520 And it's just good to see that he is kind of continuing our 801 00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:43,160 trajectory. And I think this is the thing, 802 00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:45,640 right? The 400 over the last few years, 803 00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:48,480 it's kind of been a little bit cursed by someone getting to the 804 00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:50,040 top and then getting injured, right? 805 00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:54,280 Whether that be the likes of Wade Van Niekerk or Michael 806 00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:57,240 Norman or Quincy Hall. You know, it's, it's just been 807 00:47:57,240 --> 00:48:00,320 one Antonio Watson from Jamaica, like 1 after the other. 808 00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:05,160 The, the 400 is that kind of race where you are trading on 809 00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:07,920 the edge, right? And I think it may be that is 810 00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:11,000 like when you are getting to the highest levels of the 400, maybe 811 00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:17,280 that injury risk is is pretty high and you know, you're 812 00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:20,720 pushing yourself that hard, But you know, it's good to see him 813 00:48:20,720 --> 00:48:23,640 healthy and, and, and looking in really good shape for the for 814 00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:29,520 the 20 26 season. And obviously by Apple and Dory 815 00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:34,760 bronze medalist also ran a 44 something 44 mid as well, which 816 00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:38,400 was a which was a good kind of start to the year as well in 817 00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:40,800 terms of outdoor 400 performances. 818 00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:45,000 This is where the World Relays are going to be held at this 819 00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:49,840 same exact stadium. But when we watched the Botswana 820 00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:51,760 Grand Prix, I believe it was last year, right? 821 00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:55,480 Like the IT was a fresh new track, like literally got done 822 00:48:55,880 --> 00:49:00,200 maybe 48 hours, 24 hours before the meet had even started. 823 00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:03,280 And so it was up until the last minute where they were like 824 00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:08,400 painting the lines. And I remember watching a like a 825 00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:14,040 head on shot of the 100 meters and the lines looked all out of 826 00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:15,840 place, curved and all that kind of stuff. 827 00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:19,040 So that's where my reservations were at the beginning when I saw 828 00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:23,600 this result pop up for me that I don't know about this track, 829 00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:26,240 like. And then he backed it up in the 830 00:49:26,240 --> 00:49:31,120 finals running another 9.89. But yeah, I'd like to see him do 831 00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:38,080 it in a sea level sort of race. His PR before this was 1053 from 832 00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:42,600 another race at altitude in Francis Town, Botswana, with 833 00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:46,720 -2.8 wind. So he made that big, big jump. 834 00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:48,960 He's putting together a solid year so far. 835 00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:53,240 Already run a 400, you know, in Francis Town in, you know, at 836 00:49:53,240 --> 00:50:00,440 altitude, 4455, a 601167-O. Yeah, this guy is going to be a 837 00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:04,080 problem for years to come for American 400 meter runners and 838 00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:10,120 also for the Team USA 4x4. So yeah, couple him with to BOGO 839 00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:15,080 and the whole squad that they've got, they're so dangerous, so, 840 00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:16,200 so dangerous. Yeah. 841 00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:20,480 And as you mentioned, Tobago, slightly less fortunate news was 842 00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:23,240 that Tobago was in the heat just before cabinet shippy, the first 843 00:50:23,240 --> 00:50:27,600 heat of the 100 meters and he was doing his final block start 844 00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:33,600 and he kind of tripped and fell and he looked like he was in a 845 00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:36,120 lot of pain, looked like he was injured. 846 00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:37,400 He was then carried off the track. 847 00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:43,240 So I hope it wasn't a major injury, but it didn't look great 848 00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:47,240 from what what we have seen and heard since. 849 00:50:47,240 --> 00:50:51,560 But yeah, fingers crossed that Tobago will still be fair and 850 00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:53,600 healthy. And I, I don't know, obviously 851 00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:59,280 World Relays is not far away. So yeah, it will be. 852 00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:02,280 I don't know whether he will be turn the line sadly at World 853 00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:04,720 Relays, but obviously pots on is still very, very deep in that 854 00:51:04,720 --> 00:51:07,040 400. So it shouldn't be a problem for 855 00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:10,600 them. Quick shout out to Max Thomas, 856 00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:15,520 the former USC sprinter. He ran a 9.9 O second fastest 857 00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:20,800 100m of the season and from this weekend first first race, the 858 00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:27,640 1st 100m race as a pro and managed to first time cracking 859 00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:33,120 under 10 seconds 9.9 O All in all, I think the take away from 860 00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:36,560 this one is that we've got another, you know, young talent 861 00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:41,320 that is following, you know, just after we had a very, very 862 00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:43,720 impressive indoor season with Jordan Anthony. 863 00:51:43,720 --> 00:51:47,200 Now Max Thomas is inserting his name into the conversation. 864 00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:52,000 This one, you know, maybe came as a little bit of a surprise 865 00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:55,840 because we know of him also as just sort of as like a 200m 866 00:51:55,840 --> 00:52:00,840 runner, but a good start to his his professional career or 867 00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:05,040 professional outdoor season. Christian Miller, the former 868 00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:09,520 high school stand out was second in the race in like 10.12. 869 00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:11,000 I think it was. I believe it was. 870 00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:13,840 So it was a dominant victory by Max Thomas. 871 00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:16,200 And I was watching this one from the stands being like, oh, 872 00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:20,440 didn't expect that to someone to drop a nine out today. 9/9 873 00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:22,480 today. Yeah, and he's one of those guys 874 00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:26,040 who was like, I didn't think I'd heard his name before, but 875 00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:29,200 actually he's done quite well. He was fourth at US indoors in 876 00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:31,080 60. He was second at NCAA's last 877 00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:33,640 year. Like he's been around a little 878 00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:35,480 bit. So I don't think it's like a 879 00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:38,240 surprise the. USC sprinters just kind of mend 880 00:52:38,240 --> 00:52:40,040 and mold together in your head, right? 881 00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:44,320 Yeah, but yeah, and another 100 impressive couple of 100 882 00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:46,760 impressive 100m performances at Miramar. 883 00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:51,800 Akeem Blake ran 984 with a 2.2 wind, Yeah, 2.2 win. 884 00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:54,560 So, you know, probably still would have been a nine eight 885 00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:57,680 with a legal wind, but you know, again, that's looking good. 886 00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:00,440 And Tate Taylor, the high schooler as well, 995 for second 887 00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:03,680 in that race. So or he's, I don't think he's a 888 00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:07,760 high schooler anymore, but yeah, very, very impressive from him 889 00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:10,560 as well. So yeah, some, some some good 890 00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:13,520 100 meter performances across the weekends from from the men. 891 00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:18,400 This episode of the. City of Smack podcast is 892 00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:21,240 presented by Lollipop, because of course it is. 893 00:53:21,720 --> 00:53:24,600 I feel like everywhere I look lately I'm seeing Lollipop. 894 00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:26,520 It's on all of my favorite shows. 895 00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:29,720 I saw it on Traitors when the contestants were sitting around 896 00:53:29,720 --> 00:53:32,640 the mansion trying to decide who to vanish at the roundtable. 897 00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:37,520 It pops up in episodes of Shrinking on Apple TV, and it 898 00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:40,560 even had a moment in The Housemaid starring Sydney 899 00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:42,400 Sweeney.

It's got the perfect balance of 906 00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:03,240 pineapple, passion fruit, Mandarin, and apple, so you get 907 00:54:03,240 --> 00:54:06,720 that nostalgic fruit punch flavor, but way more crisp and 908 00:54:06,720 --> 00:54:09,840 way more refreshing.

That's Citius 25 for 25% off at 926 00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:07,360 drinklollipop.com. I cannot believe how strong our 927 00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:09,360 partnership with Lollipop has been over the years. 928 00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:10,880 We're going to keep this thing going. 929 00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:18,200 We've made it the runner's soda. Then of course, we didn't see 930 00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:21,800 Kashane running the 100 at that meet because he ran the 1:50 and 931 00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:29,080 he clocked a 14.92 to race Linford Christie's 14.97 world 932 00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:32,560 record from 1994. But the reason that this is also 933 00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:36,440 kind of stood for a while is because no one runs this event. 934 00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:40,120 Even when we've seen one 50s in the last couple of years, it's 935 00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:44,240 always at that, you know, Adidas St. meet where they set it up 936 00:55:44,240 --> 00:55:47,160 and it it ends up being a straight 150. 937 00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:50,240 Not necessarily, you know, one on a track on a curve. 938 00:55:51,720 --> 00:55:58,040 You know, Mocha from Zimbabwe. He was second in 14.96 also 939 00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:04,800 under the previous world record. So that was it's it's again what 940 00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:09,520 you brought up before a sign of good things like we already had, 941 00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:12,680 you know, evidence of that, that Kashane is super fit with the 942 00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:15,360 silver medal in the 60 at at world indoors. 943 00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:20,240 And now we get further validation of that with this 150 944 00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:22,800 meter world record that he said this weekend. 945 00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:27,320 So that was that took place in Miramar. 946 00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:34,520 Tia Clayton won the 150, the women's 150 and 16.87 with her 947 00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:38,920 sister, I think finishing third. Brianna Williams, who was, you 948 00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:42,160 know, I think based in Jamaica for a bit and now is back in 949 00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:45,280 Florida being coached under Otto Bolden, showing some good 950 00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:48,800 success with this 16.92 runner finishing that 150. 951 00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:53,360 Yeah. So some solid performances out 952 00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:57,960 of Miramar and the Sprint season is in a lot of these names. 953 00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:01,720 We didn't really talk about much in the last couple months, but 954 00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,880 everyone's back in action because we're outside. 955 00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:10,920 Next performance I want to touch on that was a big one. 956 00:57:11,240 --> 00:57:14,680 And we've waited, you know, 50 minutes into this show to bring 957 00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:19,080 up is that we saw Jane Heddingren break the collegiate 958 00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:24,480 record in the 10K. Her debut at the distance she 959 00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:30,160 dominated broke Parker Valby's collegiate record by 4 seconds. 960 00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:38,160 Final time was 3046.80. This was her outdoor debut and 961 00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:42,360 now slots herself at #7 on the US all time list. 962 00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:47,320 When I say dominated like she did actually have New Mexico's 963 00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:50,560 Pamela Cosgai pushing her to this record. 964 00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:55,160 They were actually trading laps I think earlier on in the race. 965 00:57:56,680 --> 00:58:02,040 She Pamela Cosgai's the reigning outdoor champion at 5K and 10K 966 00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:08,280 and she finished three seconds back in 30 point 3049.99, also 967 00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:12,160 under Valby's previous record, and then third place was 47 968 00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:18,560 seconds behind. But Jane clearly is in monster 969 00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:22,880 record setting form. Coach Dilji Taylor is a friend 970 00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:27,480 of the pod, listens to the show, but not quite ready to fully 971 00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:30,800 listen to Kyle Merber's suggestion of red shirting Jane 972 00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:34,000 Hedingren. Because here she is making this 973 00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:37,200 statement in her first ever 10,000. 974 00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:44,360 And so, I mean, for a freshman, this is just really, really, 975 00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:47,320 really good. And I mean, not even just for 976 00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:51,240 refreshment for for any collegiate athlete, a little bit 977 00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:56,600 of a head scratcher, right? Because, yeah, she comes away 978 00:58:56,600 --> 00:58:59,520 with these titles at the NCA indoor championships. 979 00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:02,440 She broke some records there, had cross country. 980 00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:06,320 And you just kind of wonder, it's like, when when do we back 981 00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:10,400 off and take a little bit of a break? 982 00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:15,080 And maybe that comes sooner rather than later. 983 00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:18,680 And then you can, you know, NCAA isn't until June. 984 00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:22,320 So you take some time off now after this monster performance 985 00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:25,040 and then build towards the championship season. 986 00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:29,040 But it was a just a bit random to do this at the Stanford 987 00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:32,720 Invitational because, you know, I was on the podcast with Turner 988 00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:37,640 Wiley kind of saying how I miss when these 10K races and these 989 00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:39,480 fields were much better at Stanford. 990 00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:41,640 And then we had this performance this past weekend. 991 00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:45,640 I always kind of remember as Stanford Invite was the opener, 992 00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:49,720 Peyton Jordan was the the big one for the 10 KS. 993 00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:54,040 And then from there people would get ready for the championship 994 00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:58,200 season. But no, I mean I woke up to to 995 00:59:58,200 --> 01:00:01,880 this result and was pretty wowed. 996 01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:04,680 Yeah, I mean, incredible result. Real shame. 997 01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:07,880 The meat was not streamed in any way, shape or form, so we 998 01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:10,160 haven't really be able to watch this race, which I think is a 999 01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:12,680 bit of a shame. I think there's a video on 1000 01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:15,640 YouTube captured by either her mom or her dad. 1001 01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:18,080 I know her dad. He often does that, doesn't he? 1002 01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:21,480 Yeah. Yeah, he's great at content. 1003 01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:23,760 I mean, he was shooting some photos for us at the NCA cross 1004 01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:27,680 country championships. And so, you know, they probably 1005 01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:29,640 knew that this was gonna go down. 1006 01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:33,880 And so they went out and they there's something on YouTube. 1007 01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:37,040 I know that for a fact. Yeah, but obviously it's not. 1008 01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:39,600 Yeah, it's not exactly. Yeah. 1009 01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:42,040 It's a it's a little bit frustrating that there's not a 1010 01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:45,960 proper stream of, you know, a record setting and silver race, 1011 01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:48,400 which is kind of what you'd like to have. 1012 01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:52,320 And it would be nice to see like exactly how did she look during 1013 01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:55,920 like with the 10,000 meters? It is a lot about, you know, how 1014 01:00:55,920 --> 01:00:59,240 how easy did it look? I mean, she dropped to 66 on the 1015 01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:02,360 final lap, right. And it's kind of like they were 1016 01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:05,280 obviously trading laps, but it doesn't look like from the the 1017 01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:09,360 splits and on the timing side that there was any pacemakers 1018 01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:10,520 even for the early part of the race. 1019 01:01:10,520 --> 01:01:13,680 So they the two of them were doing all the work from from the 1020 01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:16,400 very start. But that is quite different to 1021 01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:19,680 the way Parker Albie ran kind of her times where she was pretty 1022 01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:23,120 much doing that solo the whole way. 1023 01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:26,680 So it's hard to know, especially without being able to watch it 1024 01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:29,160 like what feels like the more impressive performance, 1025 01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:32,080 obviously with only a few seconds between them over 10. 1026 01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:34,440 OK. But at the same time, as a 1027 01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:37,280 freshman, Jane doing this is is incredible. 1028 01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:41,360 And yeah, having that 66 clothes, it does feel like the 1029 01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:44,200 longer she goes, the better she's going to be. 1030 01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:46,720 And so 10K might be her distance. 1031 01:01:46,720 --> 01:01:48,600 And it's sort of similar fashion to Parker. 1032 01:01:50,240 --> 01:01:55,040 And yeah, I mean, yeah, it like getting so far. 1033 01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:57,840 Like it's amazing that this time was quicker than the time at the 1034 01:01:57,840 --> 01:02:00,920 10 last week as well where people were shooting American 1035 01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:02,880 records and all sorts of pacemakers. 1036 01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:05,840 There's everything wave light, the works. 1037 01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:07,600 And obviously I don't think there's any of that this week. 1038 01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:11,320 And she was able to to pull off that that kind of performance. 1039 01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:17,360 But yeah, yeah. Part of why I was head 1040 01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:19,760 scratching is because we were just talking about this last 1041 01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:23,520 week where they're like, there's no real big purpose for a super 1042 01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:28,080 fast 10K time this year. But now I guess she'll get some 1043 01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:32,080 good rankings points just for the time of this performance. 1044 01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:35,960 Although I believe the Stanford invitation is not going to be 1045 01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:40,760 one of those higher tier meets that'll get you bonus points. 1046 01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:43,360 I hope it was on the World Athletics calendar, because I 1047 01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:45,920 that's true. I I don't I have not checked. 1048 01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:51,280 I hope it was but and I I assume she wasn't wearing what Parker 1049 01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:54,400 Valby wore those like weird spikes that with them. 1050 01:02:54,720 --> 01:02:57,400 Sorry, what weird super shoes with spikes that that? 1051 01:02:57,600 --> 01:02:58,880 Oh, no. So you're, you're getting this 1052 01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:04,480 confused because I think when Valby ran the collegiate record 1053 01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:09,600 that was set before this, it was that one was done in spikes. 1054 01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:14,280 And then it when it came to running a regional or like ANCA 1055 01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:18,120 qualifying time or whatever it was, that's when it was like the 1056 01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:21,720 for when she had to run at regionals, that's when she wore 1057 01:03:21,720 --> 01:03:24,800 the vapor flies with the spikes underneath. 1058 01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:32,560 And so this, this was again, like the windows probably going 1059 01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:37,520 to cover this, this time period for 2027. 1060 01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:40,480 So maybe in the end when I'm trying to wonder is like, why'd 1061 01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:42,040 you have to run? So why'd you run so fast? 1062 01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:44,320 It's like strike while the iron's hot, the windows 1063 01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:48,040 presumably open, get one good time on the board. 1064 01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:54,440 And now she may run one or two more high quality 10 KS before 1065 01:03:54,720 --> 01:03:58,480 the 2027 US Championships and will be in really good shape 1066 01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:02,720 come, you know, qualifying for that rankings wise. 1067 01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:10,520 So you brought up just sort of where how this racer was run 1068 01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:13,760 Again, I think like we don't quite know, although from the, 1069 01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:16,800 you know, just sort of what's been reported out there about 1070 01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:25,600 her and who is who is her and Pamela Kosguy trading laps that 1071 01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:30,360 maybe that cost a little bit of time because if the final mile 1072 01:04:30,360 --> 01:04:34,760 was so fast. So do you give, you know, Jane 1073 01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:40,880 the assumption she could be in the, you know, 3035 ish shape? 1074 01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:43,680 I don't know, but I'm not. Yeah. 1075 01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:45,800 Do we take 10 seconds off for all the lap trading? 1076 01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:48,960 But it was just run in such a different way from what we saw. 1077 01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:53,760 I guess when Parker broke the record she had Callie Hawker 1078 01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:59,280 Thackeray pacing her for the 1st 5K, but then that second 5K was 1079 01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:03,600 mostly solo. That second 5K in Parker's run 1080 01:05:03,600 --> 01:05:09,480 was 1520 when there were such few women who had run I think 1081 01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:17,520 1517 ish or faster. Her second 5K of that 10K was 1082 01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:23,800 super, super impressive. And so and now you have Jane and 1083 01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:28,800 Pamela battling it out in a way. And that's what helped her kind 1084 01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:32,200 of have that fast second-half to get under the record. 1085 01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:38,360 But it's both very, very different kinds of impressive. 1086 01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:44,240 That'll be for kind of being the one to really be the pioneer or 1087 01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:48,000 break the record in such, you know, dominant fashion. 1088 01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:52,240 And then Jane at this point, at such a young age, already 1089 01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:58,560 surpassing Parker's times in the three K5K10K, very, very 1090 01:05:58,560 --> 01:06:02,080 impressive so. Park of Albie no longer has any 1091 01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:05,760 NCAA records and I didn't think we would be saying that quite so 1092 01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:07,320 soon. I mean she technically has the 1093 01:06:07,320 --> 01:06:10,800 NCAA outdoor record in the 5K or something, but obviously the 1094 01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:14,120 indoor records faster. So that doesn't quite kind of I 1095 01:06:14,120 --> 01:06:16,880 don't, I don't really I don't really count that so. 1096 01:06:18,440 --> 01:06:21,640 I guess we we should have caught wind of that, and then we would 1097 01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:25,000 have done the same graphic we did for Kenenisa Bakayla where 1098 01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:28,560 we did Zero World Records remaining and now we could have 1099 01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:31,360 done the same exact thing. Yeah. 1100 01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:36,040 And then again, like this is Jane's first ever 10K. 1101 01:06:36,320 --> 01:06:39,000 That also, I think is really, really impressive. 1102 01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:42,200 Yeah, absolutely. And, and I, I really hope, and, 1103 01:06:42,480 --> 01:06:45,840 and this is the, the, the tricky part, right, is when are we 1104 01:06:45,840 --> 01:06:51,040 going to see her run like a, you know, an elite 10K with paces 1105 01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:53,760 and, and all, of all of the, the stuff that could go along with 1106 01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:55,240 that? Because obviously this year 1107 01:06:55,240 --> 01:06:57,680 there's not really any incentive to do that. 1108 01:06:57,680 --> 01:07:02,920 She's missed the 10 anyway, you know, so, so it would be, I 1109 01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:05,760 mean, I, I suspect we'll have to wait until next year to see 1110 01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:09,480 something where she maybe goes for a quicker time unless, but 1111 01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:10,760 she just does, she does it by herself. 1112 01:07:11,200 --> 01:07:15,520 Yeah, yeah, like, but here's the what's the point of running of 1113 01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:16,960 record setting? Exactly. 1114 01:07:16,960 --> 01:07:20,240 That's funny you. Are going to get the American 1115 01:07:20,240 --> 01:07:22,560 record. There really isn't a point to 1116 01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:28,120 just exhaust yourself in a super paced, you know, 10K. 1117 01:07:28,120 --> 01:07:31,560 Like if the if the Prefontaine classic had a 10K where you have 1118 01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:35,080 Agnes and Getich Beatrice to bet and you throw Jane Heddigren in 1119 01:07:35,080 --> 01:07:37,800 there, yeah, maybe there's a chance that that goes a bit 1120 01:07:37,800 --> 01:07:39,960 faster. But you know, what's the point 1121 01:07:39,960 --> 01:07:43,720 when ultimately the World Championships and Olympics, 1122 01:07:43,720 --> 01:07:49,800 which won't be run in, you know, 28 something or 29 something 1123 01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:58,880 like it's such it's a big bet on yourself with like the huge toll 1124 01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:01,200 of having to recover from such a big effort. 1125 01:08:01,520 --> 01:08:04,760 And that's just sort of where the 10K is as an event, right? 1126 01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:07,800 Like, aside from qualifying purposes, like what's the point 1127 01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:11,040 of unless you are Beatrice to bet going after a world wreck or 1128 01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:14,000 Agnes and get it, who's like we're we're you know, right now 1129 01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:19,720 marvelling over, you know, Jane running 3046, but Agnes and get 1130 01:08:19,720 --> 01:08:23,080 it ran 2858 this past weekend as well. 1131 01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:26,040 That and not yeah, I I wanted to come up to that. 1132 01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:27,279 Performance. That's the gap. 1133 01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:30,479 That yeah, exactly. The gap at the top of the 10K 1134 01:08:30,479 --> 01:08:33,359 is, is crazy. This was the third fastest 1135 01:08:33,359 --> 01:08:37,520 performance in history, 2858 in Leo this weekend. 1136 01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:42,439 And she ran, you know, she, she ran this like she run, she's run 1137 01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:45,680 2846 on the roads. She was the first person to 1138 01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:48,120 break 29 minutes. Obviously, Beatrice has now done 1139 01:08:48,120 --> 01:08:53,120 it on the track as well. The second person who broke 29 1140 01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:58,920 minutes was Emmanuel and Youngo, who was subsequently banned for 1141 01:08:58,920 --> 01:09:02,720 having four or five different types of drugs in her system and 1142 01:09:02,720 --> 01:09:06,319 banned for six years. So, you know, I, I don't count 1143 01:09:06,319 --> 01:09:08,560 that performance. So, you know, she's she's run a 1144 01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:13,359 very impressive again, 2858 really, I count that as the 1145 01:09:13,359 --> 01:09:15,439 second fastest performance in history. 1146 01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:19,960 And yeah, I mean, shout out to her Nadia Batticletti in the 1147 01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:24,760 same race around 30 O 8, which was one second off the European 1148 01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:28,319 record set by Megan Keith a few couple of months ago or a month 1149 01:09:28,319 --> 01:09:31,359 or so ago. So again, she just missed out on 1150 01:09:31,359 --> 01:09:33,279 that, which comes a little bit surprised, but I mean, she's 1151 01:09:33,279 --> 01:09:37,160 just bouncing back from the 3K gold at welded doors. 1152 01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:40,120 So I'll give her a bit of grace on on that one. 1153 01:09:41,680 --> 01:09:43,240 Yes. So those are the targets for 1154 01:09:43,240 --> 01:09:44,560 Jane Hennigren. Yeah. 1155 01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:48,960 For come 2028, you're going to be up against, you know, all of 1156 01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:52,560 these folks, Agnes and Gettich, Nadia Badacletti, Megan Keith. 1157 01:09:54,040 --> 01:09:58,080 I mean, I'd even throw in there. Marta Alemeyu had a big weekend, 1158 01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:02,480 the world cross country U20 champion. 1159 01:10:02,760 --> 01:10:07,440 This was out in she, she won the 5K in Lille in 1415. 1160 01:10:07,440 --> 01:10:11,520 Jimmy Gressier won the men's race with a European record of 1161 01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:15,480 1251. Oh, this is a different race in 1162 01:10:15,480 --> 01:10:17,960 Leo. As in as in there was a 5K and 1163 01:10:17,960 --> 01:10:19,680 A10K as part of the same event. So yeah. 1164 01:10:19,680 --> 01:10:21,400 So yeah, they were kind of part yeah. 1165 01:10:21,400 --> 01:10:25,720 So Jimmy, 2 seconds off the 5K road world record set by Barry 1166 01:10:25,720 --> 01:10:29,040 Aragawi in the same, same, same course, same race. 1167 01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:32,520 That was 1249 a couple of years back. 1168 01:10:33,440 --> 01:10:35,920 So yeah, Jimmy was obviously targeting that but and just 1169 01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:38,960 missed out but but still got European record and Jan Schrub 1170 01:10:39,880 --> 01:10:44,160 1256 in 3rd place, so also faster than the previous 1171 01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:47,240 European records. So he continues his his really 1172 01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:50,040 good season as well. Gracie is the poster boy right 1173 01:10:50,040 --> 01:10:54,960 now for Kip Run and how like they are making like hit a lot 1174 01:10:54,960 --> 01:10:57,640 of attention I think was then drawn on his shoes. 1175 01:10:57,640 --> 01:11:01,080 There might be like a new super shoe that Kip Run has developed 1176 01:11:01,080 --> 01:11:03,920 and it comes at like half the price or something like that as 1177 01:11:04,480 --> 01:11:07,560 compared to some of these other super shoes out there because I 1178 01:11:07,560 --> 01:11:09,280 think Kip Run's owned by Decathlon. 1179 01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:12,600 We don't have that out here all that much, but. 1180 01:11:13,080 --> 01:11:14,280 Well, I don't know, you heard about this. 1181 01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:18,000 So in the UK there's been a $40 super shoe that's been released 1182 01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:19,960 by one of the budget supermarkets. 1183 01:11:20,640 --> 01:11:21,880 Oh, I did. I saw that. 1184 01:11:21,920 --> 01:11:22,520 Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's. 1185 01:11:22,680 --> 01:11:24,480 Just crazy. I mean, obviously I have no idea 1186 01:11:24,480 --> 01:11:26,600 whether it's any good or not, but, but I thought it was quite 1187 01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:29,480 fun that that they, they've obviously got in the game and 1188 01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:32,400 yeah, who knows, I guess how good the foam is. 1189 01:11:32,400 --> 01:11:34,680 But and the, and the, and the carbon players. 1190 01:11:34,680 --> 01:11:38,360 But I, I can't see them putting in a column plate for $40. 1191 01:11:38,360 --> 01:11:41,800 I don't know. Maybe they are, but I, I did see 1192 01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:45,840 that like Decathlon, decathlon and Kip run, probably investing 1193 01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:49,880 a bit more. And also it's it's like they're 1194 01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:51,280 Dicks. It's like France's Dick's 1195 01:11:51,280 --> 01:11:52,880 Sporting Goods. I feel like is what how it's 1196 01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:54,840 been described to me. Not that Dick's Sporting Goods 1197 01:11:54,840 --> 01:11:57,080 makes any sense to you because you guys don't have that out in 1198 01:11:57,080 --> 01:12:02,600 the, the UK, but that, yeah. So I mean, people were making a 1199 01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:05,600 big deal out of his shoes this past weekend. 1200 01:12:06,800 --> 01:12:10,400 That was that was a good race out in, in Lille. 1201 01:12:10,560 --> 01:12:15,480 So I presume he's yeah, he'll, he'll open up on some of these 1202 01:12:16,200 --> 01:12:19,720 Chinese diamond leagues or the Doha Diamond League. 1203 01:12:19,720 --> 01:12:22,320 I think there's a decision to be made in the, I think in the 1204 01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:25,920 coming days as to whether or not it's going to go on because I 1205 01:12:26,440 --> 01:12:30,080 don't know if you knew this pre. There's a war happening in Iran 1206 01:12:30,080 --> 01:12:34,120 and like, there's quite a bit of conflict out in the the Middle 1207 01:12:34,120 --> 01:12:38,280 East right now. And President Donald Trump on 1208 01:12:38,280 --> 01:12:42,280 Tuesday, you know, threatened that there'd be more action on 1209 01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:45,400 on Tuesday. At least that's what I saw from 1210 01:12:46,080 --> 01:12:48,680 Twitter. Although like he cancelled all 1211 01:12:48,680 --> 01:12:51,080 his appearances I think over the last two days. 1212 01:12:51,240 --> 01:12:52,440 Yeah, I mean, it seems fascinating. 1213 01:12:52,440 --> 01:12:54,160 Like obviously, you know, from from we're looking. 1214 01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:56,200 Do you want the Doha Diamond? Here's the question, Do you want 1215 01:12:56,200 --> 01:12:57,880 the Doha Diamond? Link to go on as planned. 1216 01:12:58,320 --> 01:12:59,920 Well, it's an interesting question. 1217 01:12:59,920 --> 01:13:02,800 Like I have, like I, you know, over the weekend I saw some 1218 01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:05,880 friends who'd actually, they moved to Dubai a few years ago. 1219 01:13:06,240 --> 01:13:10,200 They obviously left the country when things kicked off. 1220 01:13:10,200 --> 01:13:13,200 And then they they come. By or. 1221 01:13:15,920 --> 01:13:18,800 Let's not go there again. But yes, they were in Dubai. 1222 01:13:18,800 --> 01:13:21,080 They were in Dubai. They, they came to the UK and 1223 01:13:21,080 --> 01:13:23,520 like a couple of other friends are out there and they, they've 1224 01:13:23,520 --> 01:13:25,840 all said like life's pretty much like normal. 1225 01:13:25,840 --> 01:13:28,840 And obviously the government now is kind of keeping information 1226 01:13:28,840 --> 01:13:31,080 close about anything that has happened. 1227 01:13:31,320 --> 01:13:34,080 But therefore for the vast majority of the population, like 1228 01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:37,360 it feels pretty normal. Occasionally you might see a 1229 01:13:37,360 --> 01:13:42,080 missile floating across the sky, but like that, that, you know, 1230 01:13:42,080 --> 01:13:44,640 there isn't, you know, there isn't, hasn't been like 1231 01:13:44,640 --> 01:13:47,320 significant amounts of damage or significant amounts of kind of, 1232 01:13:47,320 --> 01:13:48,680 and people are going back to the offices. 1233 01:13:48,680 --> 01:13:51,520 They're, they're partying like normal, like it's all life is 1234 01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:55,040 normal. And I, you know, I do wonder, 1235 01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:57,640 like flights are obviously going again as well. 1236 01:13:58,520 --> 01:14:00,880 So I do wonder whether they might try and go ahead. 1237 01:14:00,880 --> 01:14:03,280 Whether athletes might pull out as a result is a separate 1238 01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:05,520 question. If they do go ahead, But I I 1239 01:14:05,520 --> 01:14:07,240 wouldn't be surprised if they do. 1240 01:14:07,680 --> 01:14:11,040 They do go ahead with it. Obviously things could change. 1241 01:14:11,080 --> 01:14:14,520 Yeah, things could change again if the war kind of escalates 1242 01:14:14,520 --> 01:14:16,920 again. But but at the moment, if things 1243 01:14:16,920 --> 01:14:21,320 stay as they currently are, then I wouldn't be surprised if it 1244 01:14:21,320 --> 01:14:25,040 goes ahead. I mean, we've seen the US hold 1245 01:14:25,040 --> 01:14:30,200 back teams for much less in some South American countries that 1246 01:14:30,200 --> 01:14:32,880 like, I wonder if there would be any sort of thing where it's 1247 01:14:32,880 --> 01:14:36,360 like USATF says, I guess it's not they're not controlling. 1248 01:14:36,360 --> 01:14:38,920 This is very much all independent athletes making 1249 01:14:38,920 --> 01:14:41,640 their own sort of decision. But they could just also say, 1250 01:14:41,640 --> 01:14:46,080 like, we would, you know, prefer if no American athletes go to 1251 01:14:46,440 --> 01:14:49,480 this meet for their own safety or whatever it is. 1252 01:14:49,480 --> 01:14:52,880 But I did also see that what like the enhanced games athletes 1253 01:14:52,880 --> 01:14:56,480 are all also in the UAE right now. 1254 01:14:56,480 --> 01:14:59,760 I think just training because that's coming up next month. 1255 01:14:59,840 --> 01:15:04,480 Kind of wild to think about. Oh yeah. 1256 01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:08,400 That's, I think that's everything for this week. 1257 01:15:08,400 --> 01:15:11,000 Was there anything else that popped on your radar? 1258 01:15:12,360 --> 01:15:15,840 I, I wanted to give a shout out to Ella on The Who now who ran 1259 01:15:15,840 --> 01:15:19,880 495059400. So she's now the indoor, she 1260 01:15:19,880 --> 01:15:23,440 ended the, the season as the indoor world leader with 50.28 1261 01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:29,400 and she's now broken 50 seconds and, and, and is the outdoor 1262 01:15:29,400 --> 01:15:32,360 world leader as well right now. So, and that's a pretty 1263 01:15:32,360 --> 01:15:35,200 impressive start. Obviously she sadly didn't have 1264 01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:38,000 the best day. She she kind of ran the 50.28 in 1265 01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:41,840 the heat, NCAA's and sort of ran her race in the heat instead of 1266 01:15:41,840 --> 01:15:45,440 the final, unfortunately. But she looks like a big talent 1267 01:15:45,520 --> 01:15:49,400 and yeah, looks like she, she seems to be getting better with 1268 01:15:49,400 --> 01:15:51,840 every race. So I think someone to keep an 1269 01:15:51,840 --> 01:15:57,560 eye on as well for Nigeria. I saw fun result I think that 1270 01:15:57,560 --> 01:16:02,640 popped on my Instagram, which was Ethan Shuley fresh off of 1271 01:16:02,640 --> 01:16:06,520 that two O 7 marathon. He just jumped on the track and 1272 01:16:06,960 --> 01:16:12,160 ran his first ever 5K on there and he ended up running 1357 1273 01:16:13,320 --> 01:16:17,200 doing a little bit of speed work since the the marathon. 1274 01:16:17,200 --> 01:16:21,680 But I think he's getting ready for more of a track season where 1275 01:16:21,680 --> 01:16:23,520 we'll see him do the five and the 10K. 1276 01:16:25,200 --> 01:16:30,560 But yeah, I think that might be everything for this weekend. 1277 01:16:30,680 --> 01:16:34,600 So that does it for this week in track and field. 1278 01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:39,800 Next week we will be bringing you our Boston Marathon preview. 1279 01:16:40,440 --> 01:16:43,720 We've got that coming up. And then in addition to that 1280 01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:47,680 there, I guess what's coming up this weekend, I think Australian 1281 01:16:47,680 --> 01:16:51,280 Championships are taking place. You got the Carlsbad 5K, the 1282 01:16:51,280 --> 01:16:54,560 Cherry Blossom 10 Mile, which is also the US Championships, I 1283 01:16:54,560 --> 01:16:59,840 think taking place on Sunday. So if you're looking for some 1284 01:17:00,560 --> 01:17:05,080 races to watch, I'm sure those will all be somewhere online. 1285 01:17:05,440 --> 01:17:08,920 And yeah, I think that does it. Anything else? 1286 01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:12,920 Well, congratulations to Noah Lyles and Janelle Bromfield. 1287 01:17:13,200 --> 01:17:14,080 Oh, that's great. Yeah. 1288 01:17:14,080 --> 01:17:19,440 And nuptials this weekend and yeah, obviously they what what I 1289 01:17:19,440 --> 01:17:23,480 thought was cool for the sport of track and field and and, and 1290 01:17:23,480 --> 01:17:27,200 stuff is that they got a full spread in vogue of their wedding 1291 01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:29,720 pictures and stuff. So you know and I and I. 1292 01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:31,560 And again, it's about raising profile. 1293 01:17:31,560 --> 01:17:35,600 It's about kind of getting into the other markets and obviously 1294 01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:38,520 we see celebrities selling their their sort of wedding, wedding 1295 01:17:38,520 --> 01:17:41,320 photos to, to out to outlets like Vogue. 1296 01:17:41,320 --> 01:17:44,240 And yeah, I mean, it's quite cool that that Vogue thought 1297 01:17:44,240 --> 01:17:46,200 that they were worth kind of putting on there. 1298 01:17:47,320 --> 01:17:50,600 And and that obviously gets gets play outside of the regular 1299 01:17:50,600 --> 01:17:52,520 track and field audience. So that's pretty cool. 1300 01:17:52,520 --> 01:17:55,240 Looked like a beautiful wedding. Absolutely based on all the 1301 01:17:55,240 --> 01:17:56,560 photos. I think the one thing I always 1302 01:17:56,560 --> 01:17:59,360 wonder, and this is this will be more of a question for the first 1303 01:17:59,360 --> 01:18:03,160 time I catch them in the mix zone is I want to know who had 1304 01:18:03,160 --> 01:18:05,480 what was the fastest table at his weather. 1305 01:18:05,920 --> 01:18:09,040 Like. Who was sitting with who? 1306 01:18:09,040 --> 01:18:11,680 Like who would make the best 4 by 4? 1307 01:18:13,080 --> 01:18:15,640 Because you presume that there's probably a bunch of, you know, 1308 01:18:15,640 --> 01:18:20,280 his former teammates or training partners in attendance there. 1309 01:18:21,440 --> 01:18:25,400 Did Lance, Was Lance Brahman a groomsmen? 1310 01:18:25,520 --> 01:18:28,880 I don't know. I'm sure Josephus was maybe the 1311 01:18:29,120 --> 01:18:31,040 best man. So. 1312 01:18:31,440 --> 01:18:33,720 Yeah, I saw Matt Hudson Smith amongst the best man. 1313 01:18:33,720 --> 01:18:35,480 I saw him there.
