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 --> 00:00:28,920 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 --> 00:01:04,239 muscle repair over time. Each serving delivers 20 grams 21 00:01:04,239 --> 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, it is Monday 23rd of 44 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:33,400 March and I'm Preet Majethia coming to you here from Toran, 45 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:39,280 Poland after the last day of the World Indoor Championships. 46 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:44,800 Kajawi Pamoja. Apologies, this one is delayed 47 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,400 until the morning. I I had more or less lost my 48 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,200 voice last night and you can probably still hear that I'm a 49 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,920 little hoarse, so I thought I would at least. 50 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,400 I had to wait till this morning to do this one. 51 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:02,360 But what a night of athletics. Absolutely Fabulous finish to 52 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,960 these championships and I promise I didn't lose my voice 53 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,440 from screaming at all the GB medals. 54 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:12,240 It was because of all that time in the mix zone grinding away 55 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:16,480 with interviews. But let's get into it. 56 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,000 I mean, the morning session was a bit of a quieter one, mostly 57 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:26,280 the pentathlon, but the 2 finals in the morning session, which 58 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:31,320 were the women's long jump, which was won by Agatha D'souza 59 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,520 ahead of Luis Yapakino, kind of went to the form book. 60 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,840 Agatha D'souza's world leader coming in only person over 690 61 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,600 this year. And and she did that again here 62 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,120 to win the gold medal and Yapakino very consistently in 63 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:51,840 six 80s and again and does the job to win the silver. 64 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,200 And obviously she is the daughter of Fiona May, who is a 65 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,360 world champion in long jump from the 90s. 66 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,720 So it's always been a bit of a bit of pressure for her perhaps. 67 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,760 And and so it was great for her to finally get that that global 68 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:11,560 medal under her belt in the men's shot put, which was the 69 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:17,760 other morning final. Tom Walsh absolute, you know, he 70 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:24,160 is 4 times world indoor champion now and this is his mate. 71 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:29,040 You know, he's he's someone who seems to turn up every year and 72 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,640 perform, do what he needs to do. He did it again here. 73 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:41,520 The Americans Jordan Geist with 2164 Rogerstein 2149 take silver 74 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,760 and bronze. I'm sure Polly Fraser will give 75 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:48,440 you a more detailed recap of the the shopping competition on the 76 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:54,520 Pauly Throws podcast, so I will leave it there, but only other 77 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,600 points make Nialle Fabri of Italy. 78 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,920 Worley are coming in yet again struggles at major championships 79 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:06,720 and we'd really love to see him sort of find his rhythm and a 80 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:12,800 very credible 4th place by Scott Lincoln of GB with 2113 as well. 81 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,440 The only other thing from the morning really the four by 4 82 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:24,080 relay in the men. There was a little bit of 83 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:33,600 squeaky bum time for Team USA. The men they they came third in 84 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,200 their heat. There were two heats of four and 85 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,360 so had to wait to qualify on time. 86 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,840 They were fortunate that the second heat was a touch slower 87 00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:43,840 and so they squeaked into the final. 88 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,480 I think you're only allowed to change 2 athletes, which means 89 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:55,000 that then into the evening they brought, brought in, you know, 90 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,720 the two finalists from the individual 400, which is Kellan 91 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,960 McRae and Chris Robinson. And with that, you know, they're 92 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,280 really outclassed the field, to be honest, in the final of of 93 00:06:04,280 --> 00:06:06,840 the men's 4x4 and, and, and put that to bed. 94 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,840 And we were, you know, Belgium, who who had a really quality 95 00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:13,120 team. Their their world in all 96 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,200 champions from from Glasgow two years ago. 97 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,640 But, but they weren't really able to live live with Team USA. 98 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:25,280 But they they grabbed a silver and team should make obviously 99 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:30,520 after their DQ in the mix, 4x4 kind of a bit of a bit between 100 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,960 their teeth to overhaul the Netherlands for the bronze medal 101 00:06:35,840 --> 00:06:43,280 whilst in the women's 4x4. I suppose I'm I'm actually going 102 00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:46,480 to save the women's 4x4 because it sort of ties in into stuff 103 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,400 later in the day. So, so let me let me go to the 104 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:56,400 evening session. Women's, sorry, let's start with 105 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,320 the men's 1500. So men's 1500. 106 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:08,440 This was a fascinating race won by Mariano Garcia, who is the 107 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:13,200 2022800 meter world indoor champion. 108 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,800 But he's been experimenting with the the 1500 over the last few 109 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:23,680 years and he kind of got to the front pretty early. 110 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:29,080 It's a couple 100 meters into the race and LED it wire to wire 111 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,200 and he had a really impressive cut down. 112 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:36,480 I think we've posted the splits on our, our, our social media. 113 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,880 I think he was literally every 100 meters. 114 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,920 He was getting quicker and quicker and Isaac Nader was was 115 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:48,920 well positioned in seconds, but really just wasn't able to close 116 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,560 him down as that cut down happened. 117 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,800 And he he kind of said afterwards, you know, that he 118 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,320 hadn't quite got his tactics right. 119 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,800 Well, Garcia said, look, this is what Jakob does and it's not 120 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,840 necessarily what he does in in a global outdoor final, but to win 121 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,560 his world indoor titles, European indoor titles, this is 122 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,640 the kind of thing he does. He goes to the front after sort 123 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,800 of 406 hundred and then cuts it down. 124 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:17,760 And I think, you know, when you let a guy who, who is an 800 125 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:22,040 metre form world champion do that, he's going to be 126 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,200 dangerous. And and he's I mean, he has been 127 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,240 trying this for for a couple of years and it hasn't clicked. 128 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,680 And today it it really did, frankly, I mean, it was a 339 129 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:36,120 race in the end, but it was that cut down that really took the 130 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,840 rest of the guys out the running, frankly. 131 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,240 Adam Spencer of Australia did really well. 132 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:46,920 He was in a little group of of three or four guys battling for 133 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:52,880 that bronze medal and he managed to come through on the inside 134 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:57,680 and take that bronze and and very, very impressive. 135 00:08:57,680 --> 00:09:00,160 I think he said he looked plan was to stay on the rail, just 136 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:04,120 stay relaxed, stay comfortable. And you know, he was never 3rd 137 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,040 until that moment when he needed to be at the right at the end of 138 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:11,680 the race. So impressive run tactical run 139 00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:15,640 from him. Nathan Green, 6th place for him. 140 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,000 You know, he was he was reasonably happy with his his 141 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,720 first ever global championships. But but again, obviously 142 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,320 experience gained and, you know, hungry for the next one. 143 00:09:29,680 --> 00:09:35,440 And then we had the let's let's let's pick up a couple of the 144 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,560 other ones first. So the men's long jump quickly 145 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:43,640 Gerson Balde of Portugal. So Portugal sweep the long jump 146 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:51,360 in the men's and the women's 846 world lead to to win. 147 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,680 And you know, I think it was it was pretty crazy. 148 00:09:55,680 --> 00:10:01,240 That was on the sixth attempt. You know, it was pretty late 149 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:07,400 until that point. Fellani was leading with 831 and 150 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,640 sorry, sorry, Sara Beakoff, Bazidor. 151 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,120 Sara Beakoff, who was the world leader coming in, was leading 152 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:17,520 with 831. Fifth round Fellani jumps 839 153 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:24,400 and then sixth round Gethin Balde jumps 846 to take the win. 154 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:30,440 So a great competition and yeah, I guess and Valdez a new name to 155 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,600 watch. And unfortunately Levo Manongo, 156 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:38,680 who we we have mentioned before, former world champion who's, you 157 00:10:38,680 --> 00:10:43,520 know, had his struggles with with sort of recreational drugs 158 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,160 over the years, makes a comeback to the global stage. 159 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,760 Unfortunately, he no marked with his three attempts. 160 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:54,760 But yeah, obviously fabulous to see him back on that global 161 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:59,440 stage. And then let's round off the 162 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,680 pentathlon. So this was really interesting 163 00:11:02,680 --> 00:11:05,560 from the get go because it was a lot tighter. 164 00:11:05,560 --> 00:11:08,120 You know, everyone was probably expecting coming in that Anna 165 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,440 Hall would run away with this one. 166 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:16,600 And I think the hurdles, she was fastest in the hurdles, but but 167 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:23,240 not by very much. And she was, you know, but then, 168 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,200 but then came the high jump, which is the second event. 169 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:30,680 And it was at this point where, you know, she only was able to 170 00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:33,200 jump 184. Sophie, Doctor of the 171 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,440 Netherlands, jumped 187. It was a little disrupted 172 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,960 because the women's long jump was going on simultaneously. 173 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,480 Her mark was behind the women's long jump runway. 174 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,240 So she had to wait whilst the long jump was going on to take 175 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:51,440 her her jumps. But yeah, only 184. 176 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,440 Obviously she's capable of of over well over 190. 177 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,800 And that meant that that Sophie Doctor was was leading after 2 178 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:07,400 events going in to the the shot put, which was the 3rd event. 179 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:13,040 And again she she threw reasonably well 1423 but but 180 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,800 nothing close to to what she threw outdoors last season. 181 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,080 Kate O'Connor of Ireland received world silver medalist 182 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:23,040 from last year 3/14/70 and then moved her way up the standings 183 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,840 and and safety doctor with with a solid solid throw as well as 184 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:32,400 1392 and that set us up really well. 185 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,000 There was also Adriana Sulak Shubert who was going really 186 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,880 well. So there were four women really 187 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,800 in with a shot of a medal, to be honest, going in into the 188 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:47,240 evening session into the long jump where unfortunately, 189 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,240 Adriana's feel like Schubert only jumped 598 and and so 190 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,400 wasn't, you know, you know, was no longer in the mix of the 191 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:59,200 medals. But then Anna Hall 621 and she 192 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:04,200 has struggled with the long jump ever since she got injured off 193 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,560 the long jump take off board in in 2023. 194 00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:10,120 And I think, you know, that is obviously more mental than than 195 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:14,800 physical there. But but, you know, 621 is, is, 196 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,120 is what she got. And, you know, Sophie Doctor 197 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:22,920 652, Kate O'Connor 638. It meant that that Sophie Doctor 198 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:28,040 had a significant advantage going in to the 800 meters. 199 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,040 And Kate O'Connor also had a a bit of an advantage. 200 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:35,000 So Anna Hall, by far and away the best 800m runner in that 201 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:40,800 field. But yeah, she, you know, needed 202 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:47,920 about 7 seconds, 7 1/2 seconds of a win over Sophie Doctor and 203 00:13:48,680 --> 00:13:52,840 and Kate O'Connor. She went for it. 204 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:58,760 And, you know, she, she, she ran two O 6. 205 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,240 And, you know, it was very, very close. 206 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,200 So it was a fantastic 800 meter climax to the pentathlon, but 207 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,600 Safie Dr. managed to run T12, which is about 6 seconds behind 208 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:15,440 and just managed to do enough. But that's made Anna Hall 209 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,160 hungry. She, she knew that, you know, I 210 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,440 think in Tokyo, she said look, she, she felt bulletproof going 211 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:25,920 into Tokyo. She felt good coming in here, 212 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:31,440 but she didn't feel bulletproof. And and and so it proved. 213 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:36,200 And you know, it exposes, you know, that that anything can 214 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:41,160 happen in in a multi event. And yeah, well, exciting to see 215 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,520 what happens actually, obviously getting married in in a few 216 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,000 weeks time. And then we'll see her again 217 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,920 competing in in Gutsis at the end of May. 218 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,560 So we look forward to see what she can do there. 219 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,200 But yeah, let's get into and and then let's take the sixth 220 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:02,440 women's 60 meter hurdles final. So they're all the sort of big 221 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,400 players made for the final. Devon Charlton of Bahamas, world 222 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:09,280 record holder Nadine Visser, Pierce Kosovska, world outdoor 223 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:13,960 champion Datarji Kampunji, Megan Simmons, formerly Megan Tapper 224 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:18,600 from Jamaica, Elliott Armstrong of the USA performed really well 225 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,520 through the day to make it into this final. 226 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:28,040 And really, things kind of shook out, you know, the, the, I think 227 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,720 the expectation was those top four women, Charlton Vista, 228 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,840 Khrushchevsky and Cameron G would be fighting it out for the 229 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:38,240 medals. And as ever in the hurdles, it's 230 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,480 pretty close. But Devon Charlton stamped her 231 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:47,200 authority, equalled her world record of 765 in the 60 hurdles. 232 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,880 Very, very impressive from her to just get it done. 233 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:59,400 And then Nadine Vista out leaned teammate, you know, training 234 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:04,760 mate Pierce Christopher by .05 you know, point, sorry, 51 235 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:12,480 thousandth of a second 773 to claim the silver medal And and 236 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:20,120 Christopher obviously popular home result 7 also 773 to Taji 237 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:26,000 Kambunji 775 and was locked out of the medals the world outdoor 238 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,120 champions. So yeah, absolutely brilliant 239 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,600 sort of race there as the as the women's handles always gives 240 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,000 this. So maybe, yeah, let's let's go 241 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:47,240 to I suppose the men's 800 now. And that is well, incredible 242 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:52,920 performance by Koopa Lutkenhaus to take the win in 14424. 243 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:57,120 And this was mind boggling. It looked easy. 244 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:02,360 You know, Crestan as Elliot Crestan of Belgium, as sort of 245 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,599 we anticipated, took out the race. 246 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,599 He's he's been unbeaten this season. 247 00:17:07,599 --> 00:17:12,119 He's, you know, been going to the front of Enremi races, 248 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,160 controlling it. He's run 143 indoors a couple of 249 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,359 times. You know, he's the world leader 250 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:22,920 coming in, you know, he, he was, he was the biggest threat and 251 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:28,119 people at the house basically just sat on him And with 300 to 252 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:34,800 go, goes to the front, goes for it and all the way to the line 253 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:39,160 really takes it and, and, and wins in impressive style. 254 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:46,720 It looked really easy. It looked very controlled, 14424 255 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,360 really impressive time as well for indoors. 256 00:17:50,360 --> 00:17:57,240 And yeah, he, he, he really did, you know, youngest ever world 257 00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:01,480 indoor champion at 17 years and 93 days. 258 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,200 Really, really, really impressive. 259 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,640 And I mean, we can only think, you know, how impressive it is 260 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:13,480 that he has, you know, he's he's done this so so you know, so 261 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,640 early in his career and and I think, you know, it makes you 262 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,080 think, you know, what is next for him. 263 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:21,960 And the manner of his victory wasn't one of those kind of 264 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,680 cagey in nor 800 races where where anyone can win and and we 265 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,040 maybe don't see them form outdoors. 266 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:33,400 I think this was genuinely, you know, a dominant win, which is 267 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,720 what what makes it all all the more impressive. 268 00:18:36,120 --> 00:18:40,160 I mean, and I and I think he did point out into, you know, Team 269 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,680 USA, Josh Howey was a 2025 world indoor champion. 270 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,920 Bryce Hoppel was a 2024 world indoor champion. 271 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:52,560 It, it really shows, you know, three different US guys, you 272 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:56,440 know, winning that world indoor title, you know, shows the depth 273 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,680 of Team USA in the 8 hundreds. And yeah, very, very, very 274 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,480 impressive. Mohammed Atawi did his usual 275 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:08,200 strategy of starting at the back and, and kicking his way up and, 276 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:12,040 and, and managed to get the bronze ahead of Australia's 277 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:18,280 Peter Bowl. So yeah, first global medal for 278 00:19:18,360 --> 00:19:23,840 the OAC Europe team, which they were pretty excited about. 279 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:33,840 But yeah, let is let's move on now to the women's 1500 final 280 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:42,400 and their Georgia Hunter Bell heavy favorite coming in and 281 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,120 well, not a heavy favorite, but but probably the favorite coming 282 00:19:46,120 --> 00:19:50,480 in even ahead of Jess Hall. I think based on on the form 283 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:54,440 over the season and and Nikki Hilts is a legitimate threat. 284 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:59,400 And and and obviously Agustin Guillermo France, Birki Halem of 285 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,600 Ethiopia were were really the the kind of contenders that we 286 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:08,760 were were expecting. Hailem sort of pretty early on, 287 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:15,360 goes to the front and keeps going and you know, goes well on 288 00:20:15,360 --> 00:20:20,000 the like 4 minute pace. Like absolutely hair around. 289 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,080 Creates a big 2030 meter gap ahead of Jess Hole, who's 290 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:30,680 leading out the second group. And I think you know about 600 291 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,160 meters in like Georgia Hunter Bell's sitting on the shoulder 292 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:38,840 of of Jess Hole hoping Jess is going to take it and she 293 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,480 doesn't. So Georgia Hunter Bell goes to 294 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,560 the front, controls it still steady, not really closing on 295 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:48,680 Highland, but not not falling any further behind and then 296 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,560 gradually just reels her in and then does it in really 297 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:58,880 controlled style and then accelerates away over the bell 298 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:04,920 lap as they overtake Highland. And and just all goes with a 299 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:10,320 Nicki and Agatha Guillermo just a fraction behind. 300 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,200 And, and I think that meant that Nicki and Agatha were really 301 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:19,520 kicking for the bronze rather than than necessarily 302 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:24,600 challenging that top 2. But ultimately it was a dominant 303 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,080 performance and it ended up being as a result, really fast 304 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:32,320 rate 35853 for the win. So very fast for an indoor race. 305 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,360 George Antebell takes the British records. 306 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:42,120 So yeah. And, and just hold 35945 for 307 00:21:42,120 --> 00:21:46,520 silver and, and Nikki Holtz gets the bronze medal. 308 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:50,600 And I think, you know, I think all three of them were, were 309 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,480 pretty happy with that, with that podium. 310 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,400 And it was lovely to see, as always, the photos, the 311 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,000 camaraderie that we always get in the in the winter 1500, 312 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:03,720 Gracie Morris comes in 7th as second Team USA athlete in this 313 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:09,400 final, Claudia Kasmisk 6th for for Team Poland, but under Jerry 314 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:17,040 Schumacher over in Eugene. But yeah, this was the start of 315 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:23,720 a crazy half an hour as that was a gold for Team GB. 316 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:29,960 And then maybe a few minutes later, Molly Cawdry secured the 317 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:37,200 gold medal in the pole vault, reclaimed her title that she won 318 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:41,600 in Glasgow in 2024 with a clearance of 485, the only woman 319 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:45,360 to go clear of that height. You know, I think there were 320 00:22:45,360 --> 00:22:51,760 about 5 women clear first time at 470 and, and then Tina Shute 321 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,080 and Molly were the only ones to clear 480. 322 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:58,480 And yeah, the, the, and then and then Molly, the only one to 323 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,880 clear 485. But Molly, we'd heard she was 324 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,880 shit, she was sick earlier in the day. 325 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:10,960 We saw her parents out having a coffee and, yeah, so a bit 326 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,800 worried. She hasn't looked fully 100% 327 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,040 this season yet. She's been on short approach. 328 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:20,080 But yeah, she she did it when it mattered. 329 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,000 And I think that's been one of the things that's been a 330 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,040 challenge over the last couple of years for her. 331 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,880 So it's really good to see her back. 332 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,080 You know, she's she's always been performing well on the 333 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:38,640 circuit, but it'd be really good to see her back winning, you 334 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,600 know, winning at A championships. 335 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,840 So that was really, really great to see. 336 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,400 But second medal for Team GB, gold medal for Team GB. 337 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:53,120 And then time came for the women's 800 metre final. 338 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:57,480 And obviously here Keely Hodgkinson, heavy, heavy, heavy 339 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:03,760 favorite. She, as expected, took it out, 340 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:10,320 essentially left the others in the dust, went through M57 and 341 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,640 then and then went away from there. 342 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:21,760 And *** get to Audrey Warrow and Addy Wiley were kind of together 343 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:29,400 through about 4-5 hundred. And then Audrey Warrow moves 344 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:33,680 away from that group. And then Addy Wiley moves away 345 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:38,040 from *** Getatu. But Audiourey puts a good 1 1/2 346 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:43,120 seconds on Addy Wiley. But Addy Wiley still also runs 347 00:24:43,120 --> 00:24:46,240 impressively well to to kind of move away from Getatu. 348 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:53,040 And so keenly for the gold in 155.3 championship record for 349 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,800 the world indoors. As you might expect, it's I 350 00:24:55,800 --> 00:25:00,080 think the second fastest time in history behind only her world 351 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:05,120 record of 15487 a few weeks ago. So very, very impressive. 352 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:12,880 And Audrey Werro, 15664 you know, a first global medal for 353 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:16,240 her. Again, we know she's a huge 354 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,080 talent. Can she improve to, to kind of 355 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:23,160 challenge Keely? We'll we'll have to see, but but 356 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,400 that's one of the battles we'll look forward to over the summer. 357 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,760 And and Addy Wiley, you know, great, great to see her, you 358 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:33,160 know, stepping up and and being successful at championship. 359 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,200 Obviously she had a pretty rough experience her first one indoors 360 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,400 couple of years ago in Glasgow, bouncing out in the heats. 361 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:44,040 And yeah, this was this was a good result for her. 362 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:51,120 So yeah, 3 GB medals, gold medals in space of half an hour 363 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,760 bring back memories of Super Saturday in in 2012 when Mo 364 00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:03,480 Farah, Jess Elias Hill and Greg Rutherford were the gold 365 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:04,960 medallist. I think on the broadcast they 366 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:11,280 had Jess and, and, and Greg as the pundits for the BBC in, in 367 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,560 the UK. So it was a great sort of 368 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,640 throwback moment. They're calling it sensational 369 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:21,080 Sunday after Super Saturday, so, you know, really exciting. 370 00:26:21,360 --> 00:26:25,240 But the excitement didn't end there for Keely Hutkinson, who, 371 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:33,680 you know, moments after her gold medal, there was, what, 44 372 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:40,680 minutes between the start of the women's 800 and the women's 4x4 373 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:45,400 relay final. But we got the start list and we 374 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:50,720 were confused because Keely Hodgkinson was on the Team GB 375 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:55,040 4x4 start list along with Deena Asher Smith. 376 00:26:56,360 --> 00:27:01,280 So really a bit of a play for a medal there by Team GB. 377 00:27:02,120 --> 00:27:07,840 So, yeah, we went into the women's 4x4 and she, you know, 378 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:12,880 and they're, you know, Team GB. We, we had a bit of a sort of 379 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:17,520 debut team, debut Tom team. And, and I think you could only 380 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:22,960 change 2 athletes. So, you know, the other two 381 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,000 athletes did well, but I think they were coming back off 382 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,040 another run in the morning and, and, you know, probably didn't 383 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,040 quite have the experience to, to manage that as well as as you'd 384 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,200 like. But but credit for them. 385 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,400 They they did their best. But but I think there was just a 386 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,040 bit too much work for Dina and and Keely to do. 387 00:27:38,120 --> 00:27:45,040 Dina with a 5129 split, Keely with the fastest split of the 388 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:51,400 relay 50.10 for the ankle leg Very, very impressive. 389 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,960 And yeah, crazy 45 minutes for Keely. 390 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:03,680 And we had an amazing interview thanks to the Back Straight 391 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,520 Boys, Back Straight Boys podcast. 392 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:09,000 Do do you go check them out? Really appreciate their help 393 00:28:09,360 --> 00:28:11,520 with that interview because Keeley didn't really stop for 394 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,400 anyone because she had to run around, get to the medal 395 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:19,960 ceremony, all of that. And and so they got an interview 396 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:24,280 and then kindly allowed me to to tag in as well and tag along. 397 00:28:24,360 --> 00:28:31,000 And she gave them some, you know, fabulous quotes, but you 398 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:36,600 will see like absolute brilliant quote was, you know, I told them 399 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:42,880 to give me the effing batten and I'd give them a 50 points and 400 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,480 they did. So there we are. 401 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,680 We'll probably see her. I did check the LA 28 timetable. 402 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:54,920 And yeah, she is. It is possible because the 403 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,600 women's 800 finishes kind of day four and the relays sort of day 404 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:02,600 nine, day 10. So yeah, we're I'm sure we may 405 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,760 may well see Keely in in the relays in LA. 406 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:10,520 But obviously just TB didn't medal. 407 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,360 And I've just spent a while talking about the TBGB in the 408 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:19,000 women's 4 by 4. United States get the job done. 409 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,040 Bailey Leer Rosie Effion Paris people show me a little. 410 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:26,680 Bailey Leer Rosie Effion had a bit of a point to prove after 411 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:34,600 not kind of making the final in the individual 400 And yeah, the 412 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,880 the lady's got the job done. So very, very impressive run 413 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,520 from then. I think pretty comfortable to be 414 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:45,240 honest. Ahead of the Netherlands who 415 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:49,240 takes over and and Spain who take bronze. 416 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:53,120 Unfortunately Poland just miss out. 417 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,360 Just seen a Sweetie a Stitch had a little bit too much to do on 418 00:29:56,360 --> 00:30:05,440 the final leg to to haul in the Spanish team and they miss out 419 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,240 on a metal bike by .13 of a second. 420 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:11,640 But nonetheless, what an Absolutely Fabulous evening of 421 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,200 athletics.
