00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:02,680
This. 
Episode of the city Smack 

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:05,880
podcast is presented by USA 
track and field. 

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:09,800
All right, if you love speed, 
power and championship moments, 

4
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:13,320
lock in right now. 
The US ATF Indoor Track and 

5
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,880
Field Championships presented by
Prevagen are back in New York 

6
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,480
City from February 28th through 
from March 1st at the Ocean 

7
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,720
Breeze Athletic Complex in 
Staten Island. 

8
00:00:23,080 --> 00:00:26,680
This is where legends don't just
race, they punch their ticket to

9
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,520
the world stage. 
The pressures reel, the margins 

10
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,880
are razor thin and every athlete
is fighting for one thing, a 

11
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:37,120
spot on Team USATF at the World 
Indoor Championships. 

12
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,240
The star power. 
Unreal. 

13
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,360
You'll see the likes of Olympic 
champion Noah Lyles, Olympic 

14
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,080
champion Cole Hawker, Olympic 
medalist Jasmine Moore, world 

15
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,120
record holder Hobbes Kessler, 
world champion Ellie Saint 

16
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,040
Pierre. 
US record holder. 

17
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,920
Sinclair Johnson. 
I can go on and on and on. 

18
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,920
This meet sells out every single
year because when the fastest 

19
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,880
and the strongest athletes on 
the planet show up, there's 

20
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:03,200
nowhere to hide. 
No bad seats, no second chances.

21
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,760
So don't wait. 
Grab your tickets now at 

22
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:10,920
usatf.org/tickets and experience
track and field and it's 

23
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:20,160
absolute. 
Loudest all right, we rarely do 

24
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:24,840
this thing, but emergency 
podcast Chris Chavez Preet 

25
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:30,800
Majithia here to unpack the fact
that Keely Hodgkinson just 

26
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:38,360
absolutely smashed the indoor 
800 meter record running 154.87 

27
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:43,160
in Leven nearly a full second 
faster than the previous mark 

28
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:48,040
that had stood since 2002 on the
day that she was born. 

29
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:54,360
It was destiny is as she put it 
and today on the track she took 

30
00:01:54,360 --> 00:02:00,120
care of business and got it done
with an aggressive start to the 

31
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:05,880
1st 400 meters but then managed 
to hold on and. 

32
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,240
Really, Smash. 
That world record. 

33
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,680
So first, first thoughts, Preet.
I guess like as you watch it all

34
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,920
unfold, you're the resident 
Brit, so I'll let you have it. 

35
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,720
I mean, obviously absolutely 
thrilled that that she got it. 

36
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,760
And you know, she, she, it felt 
like it was pretty comfortable 

37
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,960
and it wasn't it was never in 
doubt, right? 

38
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,800
So that was that was the main 
thing. 

39
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,120
It didn't feel like it was any 
doubt. 

40
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,200
There was obviously a little bit
at the start of the race where 

41
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,560
like Audrey Werro was there as 
she was trying to cut in and 

42
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,200
there was a little bit of, you 
know, and then the pacer had to 

43
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,680
to go a little bit quicker. 
So there's enough space for it 

44
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,800
to slot in. 
So there's a little bit there 

45
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,800
where I was worried for a moment
that had she gone out a touch 

46
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,760
faster than she wanted? 
And that maybe did show at the 

47
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,600
end because it looked like she 
was tying up a little bit. 

48
00:02:55,600 --> 00:03:00,520
But I mean, running 154 indoors,
I mean, that was to be expected 

49
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,960
anyway. 
So, yeah, Absolutely Fabulous 

50
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,720
run. 
Do I think she can go 153 

51
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,560
outdoors? 
Yes, I think is the answer. 

52
00:03:11,640 --> 00:03:14,720
So very excited for for what's 
to come next. 

53
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,520
And I'm very impressed that they
got the throne. 

54
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:22,280
I think her agents shipped over 
the throne that they'd got for 

55
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,240
the Keely Classic last year, 
where she was meant to be 

56
00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:30,040
attacking this world record, and
they shipped it over to Lee Van 

57
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,000
so that she could sit on it once
you break the world record. 

58
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,840
I mean, you, you, you put it 
perfectly there. 

59
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,480
Just sort of kind of all of the 
emotions wrapped up into this 

60
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:45,360
performance for Keely herself. 
Like they had kept a very brief 

61
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,560
post race in stadium interview 
because she was going full 

62
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,920
lactic, I think at that point 
just after such a hard effort. 

63
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,920
And I think the thing that stood
out was that she just said, 

64
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:00,040
thank God, it's sort of her 
first sort of initial reaction 

65
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,160
to this one because she has 
wanted it for a long time. 

66
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,640
And I think in one of the pre 
race interviews, the one that 

67
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,720
she did with James Rhodes 
beforehand, she'd said that 

68
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,080
she'd be very pissed if someone 
else would have taken this 

69
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,839
record before she did and so 
managed to get it done. 

70
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:23,440
So let's break down this minute 
and 54 second race a little bit 

71
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,760
more in depth here. 
So First things first, that 

72
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,240
stood out to me. 
The lights were set at 153.8 and

73
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:33,720
like I don't remember seeing 
anything about this in the lead 

74
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,200
up to it. 
So it did signal the fact that 

75
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:42,000
they know that she can go very, 
very fast and but although like 

76
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,760
153 eight for indoors is very, 
very aggressive. 

77
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,520
So I was a little confused by 
that move. 

78
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:50,640
Did it make any sense to you? 
Well. 

79
00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:55,680
I think we did know that the 
pacer was set to GO-558 which 

80
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,880
then suggests she went she 
wanted to close in a 58 which 

81
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,920
when you put it, when you split 
it up like that, it makes a 

82
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:06,000
little more sense. 
And I think there that that 

83
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,360
there is that thing in the back 
of my mind that you know had she

84
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,200
had the completely smooth run 
there and gone exactly to pace. 

85
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,840
Maybe they were ahead and the 
margins are so fine, right? 

86
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:22,120
They went a hair too fast in 
that first sort of 200 and maybe

87
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,720
if they they'd backed up, been 
able to back off that just a 

88
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,080
touch, then she would have been 
a little more comfortable 

89
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,680
because she she doesn't have, I 
think MO 400 meter speed, right.

90
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,720
So she's pretty quick. 
She's a 51 second runner, but 

91
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,280
she's not, she's not a, you 
know, she's not a 49 second 

92
00:05:36,280 --> 00:05:38,880
runner. 
So it's still, you know, once 

93
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,520
you get closer to APR, it's 
going to start getting 

94
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:46,280
uncomfortable much more quickly.
So maybe that that was kind of 

95
00:05:46,280 --> 00:05:49,520
the thinking behind it. 
But yeah, obviously, yeah, I 

96
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,760
think, I think we we have to 
wait and see now for outdoors to

97
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,640
see what what she does in terms 
of quick times there because it 

98
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:56,840
doesn't look like there's more 
in the tank. 

99
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:03,480
Yeah, so I had the the splits 
that I tweeted out and the 1st 

100
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:11,040
200 meters from the pacemaker 
were 26.47 and then they came 

101
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:16,240
through the 455.56. 
So it's a 26 and then a 29. 

102
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:23,480
The hard part about that 1st 200
is the fact that, hey, I said it

103
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,840
on the podcast a couple days 
ago. 

104
00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:29,560
I wanted Audrey Wearo to insert 
herself into this race. 

105
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,600
And maybe for the 1st 200 
meters, she gave it some thought

106
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,240
as to like, hey, you know what? 
Maybe it could be my day. 

107
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,040
And so she tried to get in 
position. 

108
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,480
She didn't necessarily entirely 
defer to Keely. 

109
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:48,000
And it did cost her, like she 
ended up finishing in second in 

110
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,840
158 and those later laps 
definitely got to her. 

111
00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:56,640
But hey, she she put herself in 
it for a lap and a half and 

112
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,720
she's 21 years old. 
I think that's the part that's 

113
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:03,960
getting lost on people is that 
Audrey, we're just ran 158 at 21

114
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,640
years old and Keely's still 
super young. 

115
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,720
This record just stood for 20, 
almost 24 years. 

116
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,920
I don't necessarily know if 
Keely's will last all that long 

117
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,800
because one, she could lower it 
to herself or two, there's 

118
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,640
already young talent on the rise
And three, the 800 meters 

119
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,240
indoors appears to be absolutely
broken in the year 2025. 

120
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,000
There. 
It's it's a combination of 

121
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,280
factors here, right? 
We've touched on this podcast 

122
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:36,200
multiple times about how the new
staggered start has contributed 

123
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:40,120
to the all time list being 
rewritten by, you know, very 

124
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:45,280
accomplished athletes. 
But it's really year over year. 

125
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,160
We haven't seen anything like 
this. 

126
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:52,160
Then, of course, you compile the
gains that you get from the 

127
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:57,480
bicarb super shoes, the spikes, 
all the the, the tracks, the 

128
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,920
lights, all that kind of stuff. 
And yeah, eventually that's 

129
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:06,680
going to contribute to some time
getting taken off of, you know, 

130
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,320
this this long standing record, 
it was a little bit of a tainted

131
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,280
record, right? 
Yolanda Chet Black did end up 

132
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,360
having a positive test in her 
career later on. 

133
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:23,040
And so it was kind of looked at 
as you know, maybe not one of 

134
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:28,320
the highest regarded records. 
And in the same vein, that's the

135
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:34,400
case with the outdoor record, 
right. 153.28 has withstood the 

136
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,520
test of time. 
And I remember years ago there 

137
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:42,440
was, I think it was CEPCO was 
putting out this potential 

138
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:47,240
proposition to wipe clean or 
start keeping track of world 

139
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:52,080
records after the year 2000 or 
wherever it was or whenever the 

140
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,320
athlete biological passport got 
introduced. 

141
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,880
So that some of these marks from
those, that's the Soviet bloc 

142
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,160
and all that kind of stuff 
wouldn't be up there. 

143
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,800
But hey, I think we're getting 
to the point now where someone 

144
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,280
like Heely can firmly believe 
that she can give that record a 

145
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,360
shot. 
Because now that she's run 154 

146
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,400
eight indoors, she's a super 
close to her own outdoor PR of 

147
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,720
154.61. 
The world record, as we said 

148
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,960
before, is 153.28. 
That is another whole second of 

149
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:26,280
time Keeley's in the best form 
of her life right now. 

150
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,040
And I think it's going to 
continue to stack as we get 

151
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:35,520
closer to the outdoor season. 
And I did run the World Athletic

152
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,840
scoring table on this one to see
like what the indoor time 

153
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,640
converts for for outdoors. 
So I took the points and said 

154
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,160
what is it going to be worth? 
And this is without any sort of 

155
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:49,960
placing a bonus or meet bonus, 
just straight up if you, if you 

156
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,560
ran this at AF category F meet 
with no extra points, it would 

157
00:09:53,560 --> 00:09:56,640
be worth I guess of a 154 point 
O2. 

158
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,360
So it's getting there, It's 
getting there for sure. 

159
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,280
But the, the next thing I think 
to watch out for, and it's 

160
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:07,440
something that we'll get to see 
very soon with Keely is how 

161
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,680
quick is she in the 400, right? 
That I guess you brought up the 

162
00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:13,640
fact that they're going to be 
organizing the, the M11 track 

163
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,280
club is going to be organizing 
this meet in a couple weeks. 

164
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:21,000
And part of it I think I saw 
Keely's going to be running the 

165
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:25,240
400 there. 
So her indoor PBS 52, outdoor 

166
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:29,640
PBS 51. 
If she can get into the 50s, I 

167
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:34,640
think indoors, which that's 
moving, it's another good sign 

168
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,320
of of things to come for the 
outdoor season. 

169
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,480
Yeah, exactly. 
And I think the one thing that I

170
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,080
did want to, I'm looking at the 
800 meter all time list outdoors

171
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,480
and there's only one athlete 
who's run 154 four times, that's

172
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,840
Caster Semenya. 
And then Keely is now one of 

173
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,160
only two athletes to have run 
154 three times. 

174
00:10:56,560 --> 00:10:59,000
And the other athlete there is 
Pamela Julimo even, right. 

175
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,720
Well, record holder Krotosh 
Volova, she has only won 154, 

176
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,120
well, sub 155 twice. 
Once was the world record and 

177
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,600
once one other time where she 
won 15468. 

178
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:17,520
So, you know, she is now up 
there on that 800 meter all time

179
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,440
greats kind of, you know, Mount 
Rushmore. 

180
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:24,600
I think she's kind of put 
herself firmly in that mix now 

181
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:30,160
having having done this. 
And yeah, I think there is. 

182
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:31,640
There is definitely more to 
come. 

183
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,680
Look at you dropping a mountain 
Rushmore reference. 

184
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,760
The other thing to add to just 
like the impressive stats around

185
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,760
Keely's performance and Kyle 
dropped this one into our group 

186
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,680
chat is that she's the only 
person to have run 154 three 

187
00:11:45,680 --> 00:11:49,320
years in a row now, because. 
But also, I guess here's the 

188
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,240
caveat with that one is like 
they did put a stop to Caster 

189
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:57,320
Semenya from continuing on to, 
to try and run faster for, you 

190
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,440
know, with all of the DSD 
regulations that World Athletics

191
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:05,040
put into place. 
So who knows how how many more 

192
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,680
years of 150 fours or faster 
Castor would have had in her. 

193
00:12:08,680 --> 00:12:12,120
But still, I guess like Keely's 
the first to, to, to do it. 

194
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:17,960
So that's encouraging. 
So, yeah, I mean, All in all, 

195
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,200
this was it lived up to, to to 
the hype. 

196
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,520
I mean, we're jumping on for, we
rarely do the emergency podcast,

197
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,000
but this was just a very, very 
big performance. 

198
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,240
I was, I'm curious. 
I haven't seen anything come out

199
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,480
of it yet. 
Maybe we'll learn something in 

200
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,040
the mix zone. 
But Keely did have some sort of 

201
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,000
like tape on her shin. 
I think it was like on her left 

202
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,520
foot. 
So I don't know, could have been

203
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,080
covering up a tattoo or whatever
it might have been. 

204
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:49,640
So regardless, didn't seem to 
bother her because she ran crazy

205
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,680
fast. 
It was the only world record of 

206
00:12:52,680 --> 00:12:55,040
the day. 
The rest of the meet was pretty 

207
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,000
good. 
Where we can touch on that when 

208
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,800
we do our more thorough podcast 
next week. 

209
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,040
We saw a near world record by 
Jess Hall. 

210
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,440
She went for it, came up short. 
Georgia Hunter Bell another win 

211
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:12,400
800 Elliot Crest on another very
very strong performance for him.

212
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,440
Immense. 3K was just OK. 
I ended up crunching some 

213
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,760
numbers. 
Seems like Josh Kerr, Cole 

214
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,880
Hawker, they're in a good spot 
on the top list. 

215
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,560
Why? 
So they'll get to go to World 

216
00:13:23,560 --> 00:13:26,640
Indoors, assuming that you know,
they got named to to their team 

217
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:32,760
or Cole wins USAS. 
Basically, I was for the 1500, 

218
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:37,120
which Isaac Nader won and the 
three Ki did have my moment 

219
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,360
where I'm like, damn it, I wish 
Cole was in these races just to 

220
00:13:40,680 --> 00:13:43,520
really take it to him. 
But we'll have to wait for 

221
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:49,480
Cole's European takeover. 
But the star of the day, Keely 

222
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:54,040
Hodgkinson, and I think this is 
just the beginning at like I 

223
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,000
think I said a couple days ago, 
the first thing that'll fall 

224
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,280
will be the indoor 800 meter 
world record. 

225
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,760
And now I won't be shocked when 
the outdoor one happens in a 

226
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:07,520
couple months. 
All right, that's a wrap on 

227

This episode of the Sidious Mag 

239
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:45,320
Podcast is presented by Ollie 
Pop Polly Throw is taking over 

240
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,760
for this special ad read. 
So dry. 

241
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,200
January may be over, but one of 
the best things to come out of 

242
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:55,000
it was Ollie Pop's brand new 
Shirley Temple flavor. 

243
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,680
Funny story, I was still under 
21 when I started working with 

244
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,400
Sidious, and when I was on the 
road with the team last year, 

245
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,320
I'd hit that awkward moment at 
dinner when everyone's ordering 

246
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,840
drinks and I still had a few 
months to wait. 

247
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:12,920
That was until Chris suggested I
try a Shirley Temple, and golly,

248
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,960
I was hooked. 
Just ask the hotel staff in Fort

249
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,400
Lauderdale. 
The bright pink color, the 

250
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,960
syrupy sweetness, the fizzy 
lemon lime finish. 

251
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:26,760
It absolutely shook me. 
Now obviously that led to a few 

252
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,960
laughs every time I ordered a 
Shirley Temple at a bar or 

253
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,360
restaurant. 
But even now that I'm 21, I 

254
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,440
definitely haven't outgrown the 
craving. 

255
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,080
And that's where Ollie Pop steps
in. 

256
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,440
Ollipop Shirley Temple is a 
modern, grown up take on the 

257
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,440
classic, made with a bright 
blend of tart cherry, white 

258
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:46,640
grape, lemon and lime, plus 
Ollipop's signature prebiotic 

259
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,720
formula. 
It's sweet without being 

260
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,480
overpowering, refreshing without
being boring, and way more 

261
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,400
interesting than the sugary 
original. 

262
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,720
Each can has just 4 to 5 grams 
of sugar, 50 calories, and all 

263
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,200
the fun of the drink without the
sugar crash. 

264
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,800
And honestly, we know runners 
appreciate tart cherry too. 

265
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,240
You can find Ollipop Shirley 
Temple at retailers nationwide
