52
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: leading into it, you ran your fastest time leading that

53
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: Diamond League meet.

54
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 3: I think you ran nine to eighty one.

55
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: You know, Kashane Thompson has run nine to seven seven,

56
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: and everybody's talking that's the man to beat, that's the

57
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: man to beat. And you had never run sub nine

58
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: to eight to run it in the finals when you

59
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 1: absolutely had.

60
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 3: To have it.

61
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 1: Tell me what was your strategy going into that race

62
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 1: and how were you able to pull it off?

63
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 4: To be honest, I have many strategies. They all kind

64
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 4: of you know, were thrown out the window. The closer

65
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 4: and closer we got to the finals. You know, in

66
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 4: the first round, I'm like, okay, you know, I'm gonna

67
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 4: work on my first sixty. I'm gonna get out. But

68
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 4: you know, you know I have add so my brain

69
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 4: is working on overdrive. It's like, well, we could we

70
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 4: could get out easy and then hit it hard, or

71
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 4: we can get it hard and then shut it down,

72
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 4: or we could run fast all the way. And the

73
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 4: problem was I thought too much and then I underestimated

74
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 4: my competition. It's like, nope, seek now you had to

75
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 4: you messed up. I'm like, all right, all right, I

76
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 4: need to call my brain down. I needed to get

77
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 4: it set on one goal. So we get to the semifinals.

78
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 4: Now I'm like, all right, aggression, mindset, power, everything like that.

79
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,839
Speaker 4: And it produced, you know, a really good time eighty three.

80
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 4: You know, it tied again my second past the time

81
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 4: which was my pr before London. So I'm like, all right,

82
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 4: you know, I'm good. I'm good, but you know I

83
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 4: feel I can go even faster. You know, I didn't

84
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 4: want to get beat you know, so here I am

85
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 4: coming getting second in the semis. I'm like, you know

86
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 4: what's going on. So my my therapist calls me and

87
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 4: she's like, you're running with aggressing. You're running with a Noah.

88
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 4: That is not you. And I'm like, okay, fair enough

89
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 4: that that's not me. You know that that's an older

90
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 4: way of thinking. That's just not how I run. It's like,

91
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 4: you need to run free, need to run with no pressure.

92
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 4: Just go out there and run. And I'm like, all right, cool,

93
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 4: that's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna go out there

94
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 4: and I'm gonna just run. And she said, if you

95
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 4: control the crowd, you control the race. And I know

96
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 4: I'm like, well, shoot, that's that's how I do. I'm

97
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 4: gonna show me. That's that's what I do. You know,

98
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 4: all I gotta do is be new. That's all that takes.

99
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 4: I'm gonna win the race. We get you know, we're

100
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 4: getting out there, I'm just like, just be me, Just

101
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 4: be me, Just be me. We get out there and

102
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 4: you know, they're doing the intros and you know, Kashane

103
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 4: comes down, Kashane he ends up, yeah, and I'm like, oh,

104
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 4: hold on, that's that's me.

105
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 3: That's what I need.

106
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 4: But I didn't hold them for it. I liked it though,

107
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 4: because I love to see more personalities come up than

108
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 4: just look at the camera say hi, walk out and

109
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 4: it's like, nah, Noah, bring that energy, like get me

110
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 4: excited to run. So you know, there's another YouTube video

111
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 4: that NBC put out where it's like you can see

112
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 4: us in the back of the car room, you know,

113
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 4: Fred and on the side, you know, banging on the wall.

114
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 4: It's like, let's go.

115
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 3: You know.

116
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 4: Case Shane's doing is yelling. I'm over here singing dreams

117
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 4: the nightmarees. I'm like, yeah, this this is an Olympic final.

118
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 4: This is an Olympic finals. So you know, I go out.

119
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 4: I'm jumping around, I'm running past the cameras, I'm yelling

120
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 4: at the crowd and they over here like yeah excited.

121
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, this is this is my race now.

122
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 4: And you know, from that point on, it was just

123
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 4: repeating you know, you know, God got me, God got me,

124
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 4: got me because at this point I've done everything that

125
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 4: I need to do to win this race. Everything that

126
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 4: I needed to do has been done in months in advance.

127
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 4: You know, we're already here.

128
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 5: Now.

129
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 4: It's just a believing in myself that it's gonna get done.

130
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 4: And it's not about running fast times. It's about running

131
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 4: to win. The times will come when you run to win. No,

132
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 4: I think you got a lot of pushback. You run

133
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 4: the World Championship last year and unprompted, you said, you

134
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 4: see these hats and they have World champions on it,

135
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 4: which we've always called the basketball players. We've always called

136
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 4: the NBA.

137
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: The NFL, the Super Bowl champ we've always called MLB,

138
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: we've always called the World champs. And I think that's

139
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: where a lot of the blowbacks, because it seemed like

140
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: one of America's best athletes were taking another was taken

141
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: a shot at some of the America's best athletes. And

142
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: I think it kind of put you under the eye

143
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: because then you know, basketball players said what they said.

144
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: Some football players chime then also, and then for the

145
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: first time I actually saw some of these athletes like

146
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: openly rooting against you. I mean you might not. I

147
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: mean something you were probably never seen another country. You're

148
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: not going to see the Dutch, somebody from Dutch rooting

149
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,679
Speaker 1: against Fimka, a rooting against our Carston Needs from Norway

150
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: or Inger Britsin. We're not gonna see that. Do you

151
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: think you brought some of this on yourself with that comment,

152
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 1: or what were you open to accomplish by making that comment.

153
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 4: I think the last question that you asked, what was

154
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 4: I trying to accomplish by making the comment, is the

155
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 4: most important one. Everybody sees the clip, everybody sees the thumb. Now,

156
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 4: everybody sees the sixteen seconds. But did anybody decide to

157
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 4: ask what's the question that he that was asked to me?

158
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 4: The question that was asked to me is how do

159
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 4: you feel knowing that when you go back to your

160
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 4: own country? Unlike these other countries that celebrate their athletes

161
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 4: on such a humongous stage, when Tobojo won his gold medal,

162
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 4: he went back to a stadium filled with thirty thousand

163
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 4: people celebrating. Yes, when I showed up back home on

164
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 4: my flight, of course some people recognized me, and I'm

165
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 4: very thankful for that. There was no thirty thousand people.

166
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 4: There was no animal driver ready to take me home,

167
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 4: there was no bus waiting. If I had my mom,

168
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 4: I had my pops and they were ready to take

169
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 4: me home, and I was ready to go to bed.

170
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 4: That was none of that. That was none of that,

171
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 4: But that the difference. I can understand the difference because

172
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 4: we have a different way in America of seeing our sports.

173
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 4: The problem that I had was you were given the

174
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 4: title of a world champion the people who weren't facing

175
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 4: the world. That's where I drew the line and said,

176
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 4: that's hurtful because you already have those but you're giving

177
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 4: the title the people who aren't doing that. Nothing wrong

178
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 4: with being They are great here, they just didn't have

179
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 4: the title. Is NICOLEA Jokic one of the best players

180
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 4: in the world.

181
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be outside of that, is okay, Luca Luka,

182
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: Doncic ah, is he not one of the okay?

183
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 4: Jannisathaumpo, Yes, he's okay. What's the going are they? They're great,

184
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 4: they're great players, great players.

185
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: But they're world players. They're not from America. And the

186
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: problem that you're going to run into, Noah, is that

187
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: Botswana doesn't have a whole lot of athletes to celebrate

188
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 1: as opposed to Americans. If you look at probably Kenya

189
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: and Ethiopia and Sedaan in some of these other countries,

190
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: the Dutch, the North Norwegian, we got NBA, we got MLB,

191
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: we got football, we got baseball and so yeah, teams

192
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: they have parades. Nobody is getting for the most part,

193
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: even Michael Phelps. I don't know if they did they

194
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: have how many people showed up at M and T.

195
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,839
Speaker 1: I don't know if Michael Felts were the eight goals,

196
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if he had thirty thousand show up.

197
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 3: I know they might have had a big contingent cheering

198
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 3: him on.

199
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: I just think that the difference is Noah is that

200
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: in a sport, in a in a in a country

201
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: like Botswana, or you're talking about a country, he's their hero.

202
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: He is he is to both Swanna, he's Lebron James. Yeah,

203
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: that's what he is to both.

204
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 4: Smart Yeah, I agree, Uh.

205
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: You saying both what he is to Jamaica Peeve Peeve?

206
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: He is there Michael.

207
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 3: Jordan's I agree.

208
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 4: I agree.

209
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan went Chicago, they showed out for the parade,

210
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: but but probably when he went back to Wilmington where

211
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: he was from, ain't no thirty thousand show up for Yeah?

212
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,599
Speaker 4: No, I agree. No, I agree one hundred percent that

213
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 4: I'm not expecting that. I'm not expecting the parade. I'm

214
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 4: just showing that the difference of how our sport is shown,

215
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 4: and because the question that was asked again was how

216
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 4: does it feel knowing that when I go back home

217
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 4: it's not with somebody like to Bojo's getting when he

218
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 4: goes home.

219
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 3: And again, I know what it is.

220
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 4: I know what it is. I know we have you know,

221
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 4: football and basketball, baseball, golf, those are all above my sport.

222
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 3: I know that.

223
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 4: I'm cool with that. Of course I want to make

224
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 4: that better, but I understand that. Again, the only problem

225
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 4: I had was you have world champions, but you're giving

226
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 4: the title to people who aren't facing the world. Yeah,

227
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 4: and you're giving them the title of world champion. That's

228
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 4: the only thing.

229
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 3: No, can you provide some context.

230
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: There's this Time magazine story that came out that revealed

231
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: that while you were negotiating your contract with Adidas, they

232
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: offered you an invite to a shoe release for Anthony Edwards.

233
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: And I think everybody's read the quote quote. Can you

234
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: provide context?

235
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 3: Yeah? But what transpired?

236
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: I mean, look, we don't need to get into negotiations,

237
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: but what transpired is what's being reported.

238
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 3: How accurate is that?

239
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 6: So?

240
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 4: What what was going on at the time? I was

241
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 4: in negotiations for over a year with Adidas to get

242
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 4: to get the contract, them offering me, you know, to

243
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 4: go to ants for shoe release. Who had nothing to

244
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 4: do with the contract. They just thought it would be

245
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 4: cool that I would show up as one of their

246
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 4: Adidas act. Unfortunately, they agree for it very late. They

247
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 4: asked for it probably about two weeks in advance, and

248
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 4: I was already scheduled to walk in the Hugo Boss

249
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 4: Show in Milan, which was a day and a half

250
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 4: before his shoe release. So at first we were trying

251
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 4: to figure out ways that we can get there, and

252
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 4: it was like, yeah, this this, this isn't good. This

253
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 4: isn't gonna work. There's no way that I'd be able

254
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 4: to walk and then get on the flight and have

255
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 4: energy enough to be able to go to this Evan

256
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 4: because it wasn't just the shoe release. They were also gonna,

257
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 4: you know, have us go to a little baby concert

258
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 4: and we were gonna be just signed. It was gonna

259
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 4: be a lot. It was gonna be a lot, and

260
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 4: I was already drained from you know, flying over, already

261
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 4: doing the fashion shows, doing the walks, you know, going

262
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 4: to other advents. You know, I was already drowned like this,

263
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 4: there's no way that I'd be able to physically do this.

264
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: Well, I know, I agree with you flying overseas and

265
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: then it's someone that's flown overseas and then come back

266
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: you kind of jet lag, but you probably shouldn't lift it?

267
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 3: Is that?

268
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: Is that the other stuff where you get into trouble

269
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: were people is picking apart what you say it is

270
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: because like, oh no, I'm the world champ and he's

271
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: getting this and you have the wherewithal the forward thinking

272
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: to see that he's going to be special, and why

273
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: can't you guys see that with me?

274
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 3: Now?

275
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 4: I will say, being very vulnerable in this moment, I

276
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 4: felt very unheard. At that moment with Adidas, I felt

277
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 4: very unheard and we and and to give an example,

278
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 4: people do a lot of things. What do you do

279
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 4: when you feel on herd? You try to shout louder yes,

280
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 4: And I felt that I have had many conversations trying

281
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 4: to shout and it hadn't gotten through right. And unfortunately

282
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 4: that was one of my moments where I felt I

283
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 4: had to shout to even get them to look my way.

284
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 4: Okay in that time article, because they asked me if

285
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 4: I wanted to take it out, and I decided I

286
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 4: was not going to because I had to stand on

287
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 4: my decision. At that moment. I felt that I had

288
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 4: to shout to get even a conversation about what I

289
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 4: wanted to happen or what was going on at that point.

290
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 7: I mean, that's that's to be to move forward.

291
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 4: Could it be handled? Probably? Was there more ways to

292
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 4: do it, probably, But in that moment I felt that

293
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 4: I had taken so many steps in other ways that

294
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 4: I had to shout at this moment.

295
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: Do you regret your decision not to have that removed

296
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: from the article?

297
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 4: I don't believe so at the moment. This conversation could

298
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 4: be had in a year and I could have a

299
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 4: different answer at this moment. I do not feel so,

300
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 4: because I still still. If I did not shout at

301
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 4: that moment, I would not have had the preamble to

302
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 4: oh he is serious. And when I said it at

303
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 4: the Olympics, they knew it was still on my heart.

304
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: In track and field, there's only been two men that's

305
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,239
Speaker 1: ever had a shoot Michael Johnson and you saying.

306
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 3: Two. Yeah.

307
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: Michael Johnathan had the world record in one hundred and

308
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: the two hundred and he don't know anything but gold medals.

309
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: I think he's a four time world champ in the

310
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: four hundred, two time world champ in the two hundred,

311
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: he's a two time champ and the four and he's

312
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: a one time champ in the two hundred.

313
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 3: And you say, I just say you saying boat, I

314
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 3: don't need to.

315
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: Say anything else. Why do you believe that you deserve

316
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: to be in that category? With those guys looking at

317
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: their accomplishments, not to say you're not done yet, but

318
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: looking at their accomplishment accomplishments, looking at yours, Why did

319
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: no allows believe he deserves to shoot?

320
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 4: The reason I believe it is twofold one. We look

321
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 4: at Michael Johnson. Michael Johnson, he is a He's a

322
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 4: track guy, through and through. That's all. He's track and

323
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 4: he loves track, and that's what he decided his lane

324
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 4: was going to be. I don't feel that in his

325
00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 4: time period, we had the social media, we had the marketing,

326
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 4: the self marketing to be able to push it forward.

327
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 4: Of course he had Nike, and Nike was doing very well,

328
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 4: but they wanted to keep it. You know, I don't

329
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 4: think that they really wanted to keep pushing it, and

330
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 4: I don't know if Michael Johnson wanted to do the

331
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 4: work or not to market it as well as No,

332
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 4: I don't know how much they had in their contract

333
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 4: to keep that shoe alive. That's where I'm going to

334
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 4: leave it with that. The time period wasn't right with

335
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 4: you saying both the CEO that actually gave the bolt

336
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 4: his shoe is now what it did is. And I've

337
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 4: had conversations and I think you saying was very excited

338
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 4: in the moment, and then he got excited about something

339
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 4: else when it was time to do you know, the

340
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 4: underground work, the marketing, the commercials and stuff like that,

341
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 4: and that scared a lot of companies I think in

342
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 4: that moment. Also you saying is Jamaican. The marketing in

343
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 4: the US is different. I feel in the US is

344
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 4: it turns out when it comes to marketing, entertainment and

345
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 4: marketing is the US is bread and butter. We know

346
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,239
Speaker 4: how to do that, like that's just our thing. So

347
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 4: now that I'm an American in a time period where

348
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 4: it's self, marketing is very popular and it's very you know,

349
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 4: it's strong. You know, everybody wants to do it. Everybody's

350
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 4: looking at it. They want the brand, They want the identity.

351
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 4: You know, a person's identity is more marketed sometimes than

352
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 4: a brand at times, and now we see them as brands.

353
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 4: I know that I can do the work, I know

354
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,239
Speaker 4: that I can get the metals. But at the end

355
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 4: of the day, I think that it comes down to guys.

356
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 4: You now have the title of the world's fastest man.

357
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 4: What do you do with that title? You tell them,

358
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 4: don't you want to have the shoes of the fat

359
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 4: world's fastest man. Don't you want to put those shoes

360
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 4: on your feet. I'm wearing the same shoes as the

361
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 4: world's fastest man. It's gonna make me so fast. It's

362
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 4: the same thing, but the shoes. But the shoes that

363
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 4: the world fastest man wears track spikes. The only wears

364
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:18,439
Speaker 4: track spikes on the track. He trains in tennis shoes,

365
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 4: and we am out he's in tennis shoes. And when

366
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 4: people go out and run their goons, they wear tennis shoes.

367
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 4: And when you're in the gym, you wear tennis shoes.

368
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 4: Guess what you're wearing tennis shoes. Everybody wears tennis shoes.

369
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 4: And the only reason that you don't see more marketing

370
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 4: for tennis shoes and individual runners is because they just

371
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 4: haven't done it.

372
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: Tyreek, you want you know, I can't believe you know

373
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: who Tyreek kills. Don't do that, Noah, you know who

374
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: kills the treat.

375
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be honest. I forget his name all the time.

376
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 4: I'm gonna treat it. If it's not about track and

377
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 4: it ain't about legal legends, my yeah, I got I

378
00:18:53,640 --> 00:19:01,199
Speaker 4: got man. Get this, Tody Reek. It's just chasing cloud

379
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 4: the man. Anytime somebody fast comes up, he says he

380
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 4: wants to raise him. If he really wanted to race people,

381
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 4: he would have showed up like DK Metcap and the

382
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 4: man raced in the sixty meters this year in the

383
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 4: master's division. The man does to smoke. I don't got

384
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 4: time for that.

385
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,200

00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 4: You'll see me on the track.

00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: He's a two time Olympic champ at fifteen hundred meters.

398
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 1: He's a one time Olympic gold medalist at eight hundred meters,

399
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,879

Speaker 1: And over one hundred years, had you not did what

409
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 1: you did, the men would have been shut out of

410
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: the individual goals.

411
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,080

412
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 8: I mean I'm someone who personally likes reading all the

413
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 8: comments and everything, so I'm.

414
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 4: Like, he's like major news site. I was.

415
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 8: I was going through like every article, reading every comment

416
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 8: and everything, and like there's a bunch of comment says

417
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 8: saying like Bobby better be listening to like Lose Yourself

418
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 8: on repeat right now or something, because he's a last chance.

419
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 8: I knew about the record going in before I knew

420
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 8: how hard it was going to be, and you know,

421
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 8: I'm just fortunate enough I was able to get it

422
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 8: done because I did not want my name attached to

423
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 8: that for that to be no down.

424
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 4: So yeah, we got it done.

425
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 9: Though, Are there any mental strategies that you go through

426
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 9: to prepare for a high competition race, especially like for

427
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 9: one represent an entire country, the Open, Paris Is, the Olympics.

428
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 9: None of us have meddled in all the pressure in

429
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,239
Speaker 9: the eyes of riding on you. Are there are there

430
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 9: any mental strategies that you do, any superstitions.

431
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't know if I really got I call

432
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 8: them like superstitions for me, but everything is really just

433
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 8: how I prepare her for the race, especially over at

434
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 8: the Olympic village. I don't know if you guys have

435
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 8: heard about, Like the food was very controversial.

436
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 4: A bit.

437
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 8: Food wasn't the best, but I had so much pasa

438
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 8: just in the days leading up. I was carb looading,

439
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 8: like crazy and I hate Pausa right like I oh

440
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 8: my god. But like in the day leading up to

441
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,679
Speaker 8: that fifteen hundred, a lot of it was motivation of

442
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 8: how angry I was after the hundred when I lost.

443
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 8: Because a silver metal is great and everything. I understand that,

444
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 8: but like for me to down out was pissed after

445
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 8: that race because I didn't win, and I needed that

446
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 8: kind of fire in me to be motivated for the

447
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 8: fifteen hundred because I want to stand on top of

448
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,439
Speaker 8: that podium. I want to hear the national anthem. I

449
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 8: haven't heard much all meat and I need to hear

450
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 8: it and I need to do it for our team.

451
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 8: And you know, behind the blocks, I was just telling

452
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 8: myself to stay calm, but the not like a power

453
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 8: is in you, but like you know what to do

454
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 8: and you know how to swim, You've done it one

455
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 8: hundred times. It's really a whole mental game you're having

456
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 8: with your brain is just telling yourself that you know

457
00:22:59,119 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 8: you've done it, you.

458
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 4: Can do it again. It's nothing new to you.

459
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 1: When you look at the situation and when you broke

460
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: the world record, you really and you didn't get normally

461
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 1: when people break world records, they're getting pushed. You finished

462
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: four seconds ahead, But I mean, what the hell, let

463
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 1: me just like you have, like you have a motor

464
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 1: boat and they had paddles, And so I'm watching you

465
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: and I'm seeing your stroke and it's so smooth when

466
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,239
Speaker 1: you're swimming in a race of that distance. Obviously, you know,

467
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 1: you got the fifty meters and you got one hundred meters,

468
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: you got the different strokes, but when you're fifteen hundred meters,

469
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: there's a lot of time for you to be in

470
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 1: your own head.

471
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 3: What are you thinking about when you when you're swimming

472
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 3: fifteen hundred meters.

473
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, So I normally race my competition and I'll start

474
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 8: behind them for the most part, or I'll stay right

475
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 8: next to them. So I like the one hundred the

476
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 8: two hundred, when I had like a body like lead,

477
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 8: I was kind of like, what's going on right now

478
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 8: because there's just so abnormal for me. But I could

479
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 8: kind to see the scoreboard a little bit when I

480
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 8: was racing, and on the scoreboard they were showing the

481
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 8: world record line. So I was kind of mentally racing

482
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 8: back the whole time, and I was mentally racing. Yeah,

483
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 8: I saw the world record line like three times during

484
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 8: the race, and that kept me going in the race

485
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 8: so hard. But also like I'm very aware of like

486
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 8: what is going around me. So I knew Greg Pationary,

487
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 8: the Italian who was in lane five, two lanes over,

488
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 8: I knew he started to inch up on me a lot.

489
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 8: And same thing with Daniel Within, the Island representative who

490
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 8: won the eight hundred previously. I knew he started to

491
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 8: catch Greg a bit. I was kind of peeking over there,

492
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 8: but I knew as long as I stood or stay

493
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 8: ahead of Greg, that I would be able to stay

494
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 8: ahead of Dan. So I was kind of keeping it.

495
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 8: That mental is just like just stay ahead of them.

496
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 8: I don't have to be too far away from them

497
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 8: or like drop back to be at their pace. I

498
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 8: just needed to stay right ahead of them, and that

499
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:05,439
Speaker 8: that was.

500
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:06,919
Speaker 4: Really a big mental game for me.

501
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 8: It was just trying to, you know, be aware where

502
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 8: they are even though they're behind me, make sure I

503
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 8: have a safe distance from them. So that's really what

504
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 8: I was smoking on.

505
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,880
Speaker 1: I just wanted on behalf of a shade. She Media

Speaker 1: third leg. They qualified this morning with the fastest time,

569
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,120

Speaker 1: possibly running on the four, running a leg on the

573
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: four by four.

574
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 3: Welcome us, ladies and gentlemen.

575
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: Gabby Thomas has a undergrad degree and neurobiology and she

576
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: has a master master's degree in epidemiology.

577
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 3: Is that correct?

578
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: And she's currently at the Austin where she serves underprivileged

579
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: underprivileged women.

580
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 3: Is that correct? Also?

581
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 12: Yeah, Yeah, I volunteer at a healthcare clinic where I

582
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 12: provide healthcare services to people who.

583
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, how much pressure? Because you

584
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: got the bronze at at the last Olympics, you got

585
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: the silver. If I'm not mistaken at the past Worlds,

586
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 1: you're the face of this big ad with Toyota. You're

587
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: the face of this now, Jerika Jackson, she steps out.

588
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: That's even because there was pressure on you to do

589
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: better than what you did at the last Olympics. Now

590
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: Sri Rika has withdrawn. Now there's a ton of pressure.

591
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: We had Justin Gallan, who the a world champion and

592
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 1: an Olympic champ. We had Michael Johnson, the world champ

593
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 1: and an Olympic champ. He said, sometimes the things that

594
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: can wait an individual of an athlete down is expectations.

595
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: How much what type of birden were the expectations. You're

596
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: the face of this Toyota ad. Okay, gabble you out there. Okay,

597
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: we see you. You better bring home going.

598
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 12: I know everyone kept texting me talking about, oh, I

599
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 12: see you on Toyota everywhere, like before trials.

600
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 4: Even before I even made the Olympic teas.

601
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 12: Yes, you know, they were showing my face on the

602
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 12: Toyota ads everywhere. So I hadn't even become like the

603
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 12: Olympian yet. So there is definitely a lot of pressure.

604
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 12: And for me in twenty twenty one, like coming from

605
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 12: Harvard and not having any you know, medals or having

606
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 12: made any USA team, it was just a lot of

607
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 12: fun for me. Like I was going out there and

608
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 12: running and no one had any expectations. So I was

609
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 12: having a great time. I was like, all right, let's go,

610
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 12: let's go line up next to Alison Felix, Let's go

611
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 12: see what happens.

612
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 13: It'll be great.

613
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 12: And then as soon as I made the Olympic team changed,

614
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 12: and then as soon as I got a bronze medal, right,

615
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 12: it changed. Now suddenly people are talking about, Okay, if

616
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 12: you don't meddle, now you know that's an L. Right,

617
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 12: if you don't make this team next year, you know

618
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 12: that's a big L. And so it immediately changed my mindset.

619
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 12: And then even going into this year, yeah, I'm going

620
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 12: in as a favorite and there I mean, I was

621
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 12: telling people before I even stepped up to the line

622
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 12: for my prelim, I have never felt this type of

623
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 12: pressure before in my entire life. I mean, you walk,

624
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 12: you walk out there and you're just you're by yourself,

625
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 12: like you don't have a team to take that loss

626
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 12: with you. If someone messes up, there's no there's no redo,

627
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 12: there's no next play, there's none of that. It's like,

628
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 12: all right, you're gonna go out there by yourself in

629
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 12: front of eighty thousand people, and then you know the

630
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 12: millions of people watching at home. And if you don't

631
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 12: get it right in this one moment, especially in the

632
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 12: short sperence, it's over. So it's definitely a lot of pressure.

633
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 12: But for me, I practice like I meditate. I practice

634
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 12: like focus. So if you can dissociate in that moment,

635
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 12: you know that separates the good athletes from the great athletes.

636
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 12: If you're over there on the line thinking about how

637
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 12: many people are watching you, you're gonna mess up, and

638
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 12: you can you can see it in people's faces when

639
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 12: they line up to the line. You can see you

640
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 12: can tell when you're watching an athlete. You look in

641
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 12: their eyes and you can see like, Okay, this person

642
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 12: has figured it out. They're about to knock this race out.

643
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 12: And someone who's scared and like, all right, this is

644
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 12: going to be they don't have to fight for this.

645
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 3: Are they anymore world records that the Americans can get?

646
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: Will you guys challenge that that forty point eight two

647
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: that the women ran in Beijing?

648
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 3: Is that possible?

649
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: Can we see sid in film cabol Lord that fifty

650
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: point sixty five in the four hundred meter hurdles for

651
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: the women. Will we see Carston Warholme, Rob Benjamin, you

652
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: have Alison dos Santo's, we have a samba of tutter.

653
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: Will we see anybody go up on the world record

654
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: in any of the remaining sprints? American?

655
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 3: I think so.

656
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 12: I think, I think you're definitely. I think y'all are

657
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 12: going to have to open up your wallets a little

658
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 12: bit because.

659
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 3: Whoa, whoa, whoa, you're spending our money, Gavin.

660
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 12: I hate, I hate to say it, but I do think.

661
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 12: I mean, I think the four by one girls we

662
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 12: can definitely challenge the world record, the previous world record team.

663
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 12: They spoke to us just last week about it, and

664
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 12: I think we are very capable. And the hurdles, yeah,

665
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 12: it's a rap. It's a rap tonight. I don't know

666
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 12: if it's gonna be some there Sydney, but I think

667
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 12: it'll definitely go down.

668
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 3: Somebody's gonna have to run low fit.

669
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: If if Filmkua beat said she's gonna have to go

670
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: low fifty, maybe even sub fifty.

671
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 3: Sydney is ing.

672
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: I'm talking about in great form. She's in great shape,

673
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: she's a flawless I mean, she can run, she can

674
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: run the one team. She can run the hurdle the

675
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 1: lower for the women and be good her technique thing

676
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 1: she wants. She has tremendous sprint coming into it. That

677
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: twenty two oh seven. That's still like what the eighth

678
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: or ninth best time run at two hundred meters. She's

679
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: run forty eight seventy five at four hundred meters. She's

680
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: probably if you run a work at it, get a

681
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: start right. She might be sub eleven at one hundred meters.

682
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: And I know film is unbelievable. She ran a blistering

683
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 1: sub forty eight split on the anchor leg. We've seen

684
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 1: the win the world indoor at forty nine seventeen, but

685
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 1: see it is a different. If this is an upset,

686
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: I don't care what anybody tells you. If Film Cabo

687
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 1: beats sending mclachland Levroni in the four hundred meters hurdles,

688
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: this is a huge upset.

689
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 4: Ain't happening.

690
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 9: Ain't happening in Captain, oh sir, one thing sid gonna do.

691
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 9: Like you said, it's all about moments, and whenever that

692
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 9: moment has been good, she shows up to the cave. Yeah,

693
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 9: already shows up.

694
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 3: That's one thing Bobby.

695
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,240
Speaker 1: The one thing if you go back and study Bobby

696
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 1: Cursey's history, his runners at big meets, they perform, if

697
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: they if they if they line up, they run, they

698
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: run well. And so that's not the short change Filmica,

699
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: because she's been unbelievable. I actually kind of want to

700
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 1: see that thing come down in the four hundred meters,

701
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 1: the four by four. I won't see it in film.

702
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 1: Could have get the baton at the same time, and

703
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: let's see what happened. Let's see what really about. Oh Joe,

704
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: I told you we're gonna try to make this thing

705
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,359
Speaker 1: the real Olympics. We're gonna have people that actually participated

706
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 1: in the Paris Olympics, and we're gonna get we were

707
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,280
Speaker 1: gonna going to have former greats. The guy that's gonna

708
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 1: talk with us for about forty five minutes today is

709
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 1: a former two time world champion two hundred meters. He's

710
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,800
Speaker 1: a former four time champion a four hundred meters.

711
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 3: He was a.

712
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 1: Former world world record holder at two hundred meters, at

713
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: three hundred meters at four hundred meters. He's still the

714
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 1: current American record holder at three hundred meters and four

715
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 1: hundred meters and he ran the anchor leg on.

716
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 3: The world breaking.

717
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 1: World championship four hundred meter relay team of two minutes

718
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 1: fifty four. He's a two time Olympic gold medal in

719
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: four hundred meters. He's a one time Olympic champ at

720
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 1: two hundred meters. He's the only man to successfully depend

721
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: his four hundred meters crown and back to back Olympics

722
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: in ninety six and two thousand and he's the only

723
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: man currently to win the four hundred and the two

724
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: hundred in the same Olympics. One of the greatest printers

725
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: in the history of sprinting, arguably the greatest printer in

726
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 1: American history.

727
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 14: Michael Johns, good to see vote Man, good to see you.

728
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 6: I haven't talked to both of you guys in a while.

729
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:18,399
Speaker 3: Mike.

730
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 1: When you hear the accolades, you know, four time world

731
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: champion four hundred meters, two time world champion two hundred meters,

732
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: a two time Olympic champion, four Olympic champion, two back

733
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: to back, nobody into history. The game's been going on

734
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: since eighteen ninety six. And we see some young guys

735
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 1: come in and they win the four hundred. Early in

736
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 1: their career at eighteen, I mean nineteen twenty years of

737
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: age and can't replicate that you did it later in

738
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: your career. Why has it been so hard for men

739
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 1: and women to repeat? I mean it's more common in

740
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 1: women repeating, But why has it been so hard for

741
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 1: men to repeat.

742
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 3: The four hundred?

743
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 14: It's some difficulty event, man, It's difficult for people to

744
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 14: get consistent in that event. You'll see somebody come out

745
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 14: run forty three seconds, become a forty three second a

746
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 14: four hundred runner, But then you'll see them in some

747
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 14: races running forty four high, forty four mid, not consistently

748
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,879
Speaker 14: under forty three seconds. The four hundred meters is one

749
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 14: of those races where you need to be consistent in

750
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:22,240
Speaker 14: order to deliver that type of performance when it counts

751
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 14: at the Olympic Games. And what happens is is you

752
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,839
Speaker 14: have somebody run the Olympics, they get it right then,

753
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 14: and then if you see them in those races outside

754
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 14: of the championships being very inconsistent running forty four highs

755
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 14: and that sort of thing, then there's a likely chance

756
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,919
Speaker 14: that when they get back to that next championship, they're

757
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 14: going to run worse not better, it's just the way

758
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 14: that it goes. You have to try to get consistent

759
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,760
Speaker 14: with that event. It's a really difficult event to run

760
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 14: because it's such a long sprint. There's a lot of

761
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 14: room for area. There's a lot of ways to make

762
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,439
Speaker 14: mistakes in that race. It's hard to get it right,

763
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:57,879
Speaker 14: easy to get it wrong.

764
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: How different is running a four hundred as a two,

765
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 1: because we understand two is half the distance of four,

766
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: But what's the difference? Because you were able you kind

767
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:09,800
Speaker 1: of started like at a two hundred. You won the

768
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: first world championship at two hundred meters in ninety one,

769
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, and then built up, and then

770
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 1: you got the courage to say.

771
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 3: I can do both.

772
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 1: I can in the Olympics, buddy, You know how what

773
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 1: kind of brass cohoonas you.

774
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 3: Gotta have to say I could beat the world's best.

775
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:28,760
Speaker 1: At four and two in the same Yeah, it's probably

776
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 1: never gonna be done again on the man's side.

777
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 14: Yeah, So a couple of people have tried since since

778
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 14: I did it. Nobody even tried before I did it.

779
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 14: You couldn't even the schedule wouldn't even allow for it.

780
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 14: So I had to get them to get them to

781
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 14: change the schedule. But yeah, I started as a two

782
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 14: hundred meter runner, but when I was at Baylor, I

783
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 14: was on the fourth by four and I was always

784
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,439
Speaker 14: splitting forty three. So I knew I could run four hundred.

785
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 14: But like in college, you always you can't really go

786
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 14: back and forth between the two and the four very

787
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 14: much because you're always preparing for got to qualify for nationals.

788
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 14: You gotta get ready for conference, you know, in dooring,

789
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 14: then the same thing I'll do in the Both of

790
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:00,839
Speaker 14: those seasons are pretty short. But I knew I could

791
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,320
Speaker 14: run the four hundred. Then when I when I started

792
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 14: my professional career, I was primarily two hundred, but I

793
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 14: was running four hundreds at meets on the Grand Prix circuit,

794
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 14: and I was running low forty twos bring number one

795
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 14: in the world. But the first couple of championships, like

796
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 14: that ninety one championship, like you talked about Sharnon, so

797
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 14: I chose the two hundred, major team in the two hundred,

798
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 14: won the world championship in the two hundred. But I'm

799
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 14: sitting there in the stands and I'm seeing Antonio Pettigrew

800
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,720
Speaker 14: win the four hundred meters. I'm like, I'd been beating

801
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 14: him all season. I should be the world champion in

802
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 14: the four hundred, but I can't run the four hundred.

803
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 14: Now somebody else's world champion. So I was telling my

804
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 14: coach then like, you know, I want to run both,

805
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 14: and he was saying coach was like, yeah, we can

806
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 14: do both. We just got to get him to, you know,

807
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 14: work out the schedule for us. So over time that became,

808
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 14: you know, my thing, I'm gonna go to the championship.

809
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 14: I'm gonna run the both to two and the four.

810
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 14: Nobody had done that before. The races are very different

811
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 14: the two hundred meters as are all I sprint. For

812
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,879
Speaker 14: most people, there's you know, some of the guys that's

813
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 14: one hundred meter runners that's not really don't have that

814
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 14: type of speed endurance to be able to a hole

815
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 14: that they can't run the whole thing. But if you

816
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:05,760
Speaker 14: come from like me, like having a four hundred background

817
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 14: as well, I can run the whole thing. So the difference,

818
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 14: you know, is there's less room for marchin marchin for

819
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:13,440
Speaker 14: era in the two hundred. You may be able to

820
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:17,800
Speaker 14: make one adjustment in that race because it's so short

821
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 14: nineteen seconds, whereas in the four hundred you can make

822
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:24,359
Speaker 14: all kinds of adjustments. The problem is there's more room

823
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 14: for error. In the four hundred. You're gonna make it.

824
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 14: You can make a lot of mistakes, and you probably will.

825
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 14: Where's the two hundred, it's much more technical.

826
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 1: In ninety three, I think that was the time that

827
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 1: you guys broke the world record at the World at

828
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 1: the World Championship in the two in the four hundred,

829
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 1: in the four by four, Andrew Vahman led it off.

830
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 1: I think he ran split forty four to five. Uh,

831
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,319
Speaker 1: he passed the Quincy Watts. I think Quincy ran sub

832
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: forty three to five.

833
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 3: He passed it.

834
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:50,359
Speaker 1: The Butcher rentals and then with you with nothing to prove, Mike,

835
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 1: you got it.

836
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 3: You guys have got this.

837
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,839
Speaker 1: You already got a thirty minute, you got already got

838
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 1: a thirty meter lead.

839
00:40:56,719 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 3: They hand you the baton, you go, what's going through

840
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:01,319
Speaker 3: your mind?

841
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 1: Because that was the first time in the history that

842
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:09,320
Speaker 1: somebody had a sub forty three split into four hundred meters.

843
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 3: You stepped on the gas. I think you ran forty

844
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 3: two nine.

845
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 1: What's going through your mind as you're going around the

846
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: track and you got nothing. You got a thirty to lead, Mike,

847
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 1: What possessed you to do what you did?

848
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 6: This is a story. This is crazy.

849
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 14: So we broke the world record the year before nineteen

850
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 14: ninety two, right, we just broke it by a little bit.

851
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 14: Nineteen ninety two Olympics. I ran the two hundred. I

852
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 14: didn't run the four hundred at the trials. I make

853
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 14: the team in the two hundred. There's a debate about

854
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:42,399
Speaker 14: whether or not I should be on the four by

855
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 14: four hundred meter.

856
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 6: I'm gonna tell.

857
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,839
Speaker 14: You go back the year before that, nineteen ninety one,

858
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 14: my first world championship in the two hundred, US lost

859
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 14: the four by four hundred meter relate to Great Britain

860
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 14: because they did put me on that reading.

861
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 3: Yes, the herd ran down, ran down you exactly right.

862
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 14: Chris Akabusi ran down. Pettigrew, the team coach that year,

863
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 14: didn't like me, so he said, hey, we don't need

864
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,360
Speaker 14: Michael Johnson on our by four hundred meter relay. He

865
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 14: didn't run the four hundred meters at the trials. We

866
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 14: don't need to put him on. We can win it

867
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:19,760
Speaker 14: without him. I'm raating number one in the world undefeated

868
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 14: for two years. Right, he does not put me on

869
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 14: the four by four. They lose The next year in

870
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:29,359
Speaker 14: nineteen ninety two, I'm on the four by four. I

871
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 14: got food poison right before the Olympics. You remember this, Shannon,

872
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 14: we talked about this, so I do back then what happened.

873
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,800
Speaker 14: So I got food poison, didn't make the final in

874
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 14: the two hundred. They's like, we still need you on

875
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 14: the four box four. I'm like, man, I'm not. I'm

876
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 14: I'm not even I'm a shell of myself. I can't

877
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 14: even run that fast right now, they're like a seventy

878
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 14: five percent Michael Johnson is better than anybody else. So

879
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 14: let's go each on the street lift Like, okay, So

880
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 14: my split in ninety two when we broke the world record,

881
00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 14: I was the weak leg on that relay.

882
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:02,439
Speaker 6: I still remember. I remember lost weight.

883
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,359
Speaker 14: I'm still feeling I think I split like forty four

884
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 14: nine or maybe even forty five flat. It was horrible,

885
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 14: but we still broke the world record. So fast forward

886
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 14: to what you're talking about. Ninety three. I had just

887
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,879
Speaker 14: won the four hundred, beat all of those guys. Now

888
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:21,839
Speaker 14: we're coming together in the four by four. Yeah, at

889
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 14: that point, it's like I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna

890
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 14: make up for last year. And then also if we

891
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 14: broke the world record last year with me at forty

892
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 14: five flat, if I can put it down like what

893
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 14: I'm normally used to doing, We're gonna put this world

894
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 14: record to a point where I ain't know we got

895
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 14: anybody gonna break it for thirty years. And that's where

896
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,720
Speaker 14: we are today. Nobody else still broke that record because

897
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 14: those guys a grand fast man, I ran forty two

898
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 14: nine on the anchor.

899
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 9: What are your thoughts on the current state of track

900
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 9: and field right now? And how do you see it

901
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:47,839
Speaker 9: evolving based on where we are now? Because you did

902
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,359
Speaker 9: just say it comes in waves, it goes and wave.

903
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 9: Do you think we're right on the on the on

904
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:55,799
Speaker 9: the right track to kind of dominate in the sport again?

905
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:59,359
Speaker 9: And maybe the one, the two and obviously the four.

906
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's good of course. Oho.

907
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 14: So look, the Jamaican has been taking it to us

908
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 14: for the last city, you know, I mean you got

909
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 14: to give them credit. I mean this is a nation

910
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 14: of less than three million people and they go toe

911
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:19,880
Speaker 14: to toe and sometimes, like I said, and for the

912
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 14: last sixteen years they've been handing it to a nation

913
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 14: of three hundred million people. That's crazy. What else does that.

914
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 14: It's amazing. That's why the Jamaican brand from a sprint

915
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:35,919
Speaker 14: standpoint is so significant. They're known around the world as

916
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 14: the sprint Capitol. They got great coaches, they got a

917
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 14: lot of talent, and it used to be back when

918
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 14: I was in college, all of the Jamaican athletes will

919
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 14: come to the US for better training in facilities. Around

920
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 14: two thousand and six seven they stopped.

921
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:54,280
Speaker 6: They started.

922
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 14: They got some great coaches down there and they started saying, hey,

923
00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 14: just stay at home, we'll train you here. And that's

924
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 14: when you saw that explosion. So you know, and it's

925
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 14: just been it's been. It's been amazing. But you know,

926
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 14: for us as the US, we saw what happened here

927
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:11,959
Speaker 14: in Paris. You know Noah Spread you know those guys,

928
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 14: I mean, it's not in him. And look to Jamaicas

929
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 14: have found some new talent. Shane Thompson, Vicolo Bleak, Bigsville,

930
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 14: those guys, they got some talent. You know, they had

931
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 14: a little bit of a boid after Boat left, but

932
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 14: now they got some more talent. But us got some

933
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:30,400
Speaker 14: too on the men's side. On the women's side, the

934
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:32,800
Speaker 14: Jamaicans have been it's been ridiculous. I've never seen a

935
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 14: situation where they had two of the greatest sprinders of

936
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 14: all time and then found another one on top of

937
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,399
Speaker 14: that with Shrikan and converted her from a four hundred

938
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 14: meters to a one hundred two hundred meters sprend and

939
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 14: then now you got another one. It was just it's

940
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 14: been crazy that that's that doesn't happen all at the time.

941
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,359
Speaker 14: So now what we're seeing is okay, those they you know,

942
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:54,840
Speaker 14: Elaine is pretty much done. Her body's just not going

943
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 14: to be able to former coach you even said that

944
00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 14: her body's just not gonna be able to do that anymore.

945
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 14: So she's probably on out and I'm probably going to

946
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:04,800
Speaker 14: retire here soon. Shelley Anne is done. She's the greatest

947
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:08,239
Speaker 14: of all time. She's done enough. She's retiring after this year.

948
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 14: And so so this is the first time like in

949
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:15,239
Speaker 14: this women's two hundred last night the other day, I mean,

950
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 14: Gaby Wantaby, there was no woman Jamaican woman in that

951
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 14: in that final, and a Jamaican woman has I saw

952
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 14: this stat the other day a Jamaican woman has medaled

953
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 14: in the two hundred every year, every Olympic year since

954
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:32,439
Speaker 14: nineteen seventy six. So it goes in stages and goes

955
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:35,799
Speaker 14: in ways. I think the US is at a position where,

956
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:37,479
Speaker 14: I mean, we're always at the top of the medal table.

957
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,400
Speaker 14: But the events you talked about, Ocho, the sprints a

958
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:42,359
Speaker 14: bit of an employ for US in the last few years.

959
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 14: But I think it's yeah, it's coming back. That's coming back.

960
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:48,880
Speaker 1: We got the world record silver medal winning four by

961
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 1: four mixed relay Vernon Norwood, Bryce Deadman, Kylen Brown, and

962
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 1: Samir little Burn. I'm gonna start with you, you the

963
00:46:56,120 --> 00:47:00,880
Speaker 1: elder statesman here going into that, Did you guys think

964
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 1: you could set the world record and qualifying and what

965
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 1: was your strategy going here? Obviously you want to qualify,

966
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 1: but did you think world record was a possibility.

967
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:12,959
Speaker 15: To sin We already talked about it like before. Once

968
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:14,919

969
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:16,280
Speaker 15: we was like, oh yeah.

00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:17,279
Speaker 3: We world record gone.

971
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 15: Because we knew world record was going to win the

972
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:21,560

00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 1: He's been chasing Carston Warholme, the world record holder, for

1020
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:59,920
Speaker 1: the better part of three years, and he finally tracked

1021

Speaker 1: down the Norwegian and the Rye here you, ladies and gentlemen,

1022
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:07,880

1023
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 1: forty six. Right, Benjamin Sir, Obviously you have an outstanding season.

1024
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 1: You have been performing really really well. Give us your

1025
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:20,480
Speaker 1: mindset going into the Olympics. You had raised him. I

1026
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:23,280
Speaker 1: think you raised him once before at a Diamond League

1027
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 1: meet pre Limpic, and so you had.

1028
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:26,520
Speaker 3: To feel good because you.

1029
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:28,920
Speaker 1: Beat him, and you had beaten him three times since

1030
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 1: he last beat you, I think at the at the Olympics.

1031
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:34,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, in Budapest, they won Budapest last year, and then

1032
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:36,080
Speaker 5: we went to Prefontaine.

1033
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:39,880
Speaker 7: I won that meet. Then we went to Monaco before

1034
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:43,239
Speaker 7: the Olympics. That was a big one. We were all there.

1035
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 7: I won that one.

1036
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 5: So going into the Olympics, I was I felt really confident.

1037
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:52,760
Speaker 5: I was calm. I really trusted myself. I think mentally

1038
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:54,320
Speaker 5: I was in a way different place.

1039
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 7: Than I was.

1040
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, I CONTU had previous years and previous seasons, so

1041
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 5: I mean I just I went in. I had the confidence,

1042
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:04,920
Speaker 5: you know, like I felt good. Energy in the stadium

1043
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:07,799
Speaker 5: was ridiculous. It was actually like.

1044
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 7: I've been to a lot of football games.

1045
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:15,200
Speaker 5: I've been to win the death Valley lsu okay, and

1046
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:17,799
Speaker 5: I have never heard a stadium get that loud in

1047
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:21,720
Speaker 5: my entire life. It was crazy. So it was it was.

1048
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:25,799
Speaker 5: It was a phenomenal, phenomenal experience. So just you know,

1049
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 5: I went in with a completely different mindset and I

1050
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:30,759
Speaker 5: was like, yeah, like I'm I'm the guy to beat

1051
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:33,400
Speaker 5: and the only person that's going to beat me is me.

1052
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 9: So yeah, I have a question speaking of that race

1053
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:41,279
Speaker 9: at the Olympics, did you understand his strengths and weaknesses

1054
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:44,879
Speaker 9: and did you have any type of strategic game plan

1055
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,839
Speaker 9: going into that race and knowing what to do and

1056
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:50,839
Speaker 9: when when the kind of hit it, when the back off.

1057
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:56,360
Speaker 5: I think the three four years we raced so much

1058
00:51:56,440 --> 00:52:00,840
Speaker 5: so I have seen every single race plan, every race strategy,

1059
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 5: and I think for me, right, uh, were the three

1060
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:09,719
Speaker 5: of us are so good that very little separates us,

1061
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 5: and it's it's about who could be on on that day,

1062
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 5: who's going to get it on that day? And I think,

1063
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 5: you know, throughout the entire cycle of the Semis, I

1064
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:23,879
Speaker 5: mean the heat Semis finals, you know, I got dealt

1065
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:26,200
Speaker 5: the right hand and and those guys were now ran

1066
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 5: fast like the first two rounds, So I knew being

1067
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:31,040
Speaker 5: out in lane eight, I was going to be the

1068
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:34,719
Speaker 5: one to kind of dictate what the race would look like.

1069
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:37,920
Speaker 5: So in my head I was like, all right, like

1070
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:41,360
Speaker 5: I need to I need I need to really push

1071
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 5: the pace, but not do too much so I have

1072
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:47,640
Speaker 5: enough to come home that last one hundred and meters. Yes,

1073
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:51,280
Speaker 5: when when when? When we got out, like he gets

1074
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:53,680
Speaker 5: out really really hard, so he covered me a little bit,

1075
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:56,840
Speaker 5: and my whole thing was all right, just run in

1076
00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 5: lane eight, like focus on your your ten hurdles and

1077
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 5: your lane and get off that turn, like put your

1078
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:05,479
Speaker 5: foot in the ground and just go. And then coach

1079
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 5: Watts coachy watch. He has a we have this we

1080
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 5: joke around sometimes and he's like, yeah, if it's leaving,

1081
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:15,640
Speaker 5: I'm leaving. So we got off. We got off hurdle seven,

1082
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:18,319
Speaker 5: and I was like, all right, man, I'm out of here. Man,

1083
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:20,880
Speaker 5: So whatever happens happens. And I don't know if you

1084
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 5: guys saw, but like I was coming out yet off

1085
00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:25,719
Speaker 5: of seven and I stumbled a little bit. I was

1086
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 5: running so fast that like the centrifugal force pulled me

1087
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 5: out to the outside of the lane and I kind

1088
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 5: of like stumbled a little bit and I think that

1089
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:38,640
Speaker 5: kind of costed me like maybe forty six flat. But

1090
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:41,440
Speaker 5: at the same time, like I just had so much momentum,

1091
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:44,239
Speaker 5: I just kept going. So that was just that was

1092
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:46,319
Speaker 5: my uh, that was my game plan going in. To

1093
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:48,719
Speaker 5: be honest with you, just run my pattern. Do what

1094
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 5: I've been doing in the entire season. I mean, Uncle,

1095
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:54,680
Speaker 5: we talked, you know, Uncle, send me a message sometimes

1096
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 5: after the race, even if it went good or bad.

1097
00:53:57,360 --> 00:54:00,759
Speaker 7: So I mean, yeah, it was, it was. It was phenomenal, man.

1098
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 6: I am.

1099
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:03,120
Speaker 7: I'm on cloud nine right now.

1100
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:03,879
Speaker 6: Right.

1101
00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:06,880
Speaker 1: We had Michael Johnson on and I remember in Stutgart

1102
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 1: when they broke the world record into four hundred meters,

1103
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:11,560
Speaker 1: they ran two fifty four to twenty nine.

1104
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:13,879
Speaker 3: And I can go back in my head.

1105
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:16,879
Speaker 1: I know Andrew Bauman laid off with forty four five

1106
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 1: and he went to Quincy, your coach, and I think

1107
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:22,640
Speaker 1: he ran forty three three, forty three five. He had

1108
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:25,080
Speaker 1: it to the world record holder at the time, Butcher

1109
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:28,399
Speaker 1: rentals and he ran low forty forty three.

1110
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:30,000
Speaker 3: The race was blown over.

1111
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:33,680
Speaker 1: Michael Johnson got the baton and he said, because we

1112
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:36,440
Speaker 1: had almost broke the world record where we broke it,

1113
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 1: but I ran like mid forty four, almost forty five.

1114
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 1: Because I was asking him, I saying, Mike, you do

1115
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 1: realize you ran sub forty three with a thirty minute lead,

1116
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 1: with a thirty of me to lead. And I said why.

1117
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:51,320
Speaker 1: He said, because I didn't want to hear their miles.

1118
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 1: He said they had talked about me so bad, so

1119
00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 1: he ran forty two nine. Did you think you guys

1120
00:54:57,680 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 1: had a chance going into that race? Did you think

1121
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:02,879
Speaker 1: this was going to be the second fastest four hund

1122
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:04,879
Speaker 1: into history?

1123
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 5: I thought we could have broken it last year. So

1124
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 5: after the past, like if you if you go to

1125
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:13,560
Speaker 5: my Instagram, you look at my last relay post from Budapest,

1126
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:15,279
Speaker 5: I was like, let's go after the world record next

1127
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 5: year because we had all we had all the pieces.

1128
00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:22,799
Speaker 5: Quincy's running well, V's running well. I mean I could

1129
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 5: get on the relay and give you a really hot split.

1130
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:28,760
Speaker 5: Michael Norman, he was coming back to run well, Chris Bailey,

1131
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:31,839
Speaker 5: Bryce Deadman, and then we had a little Quincy just

1132
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:34,520
Speaker 5: like you know, just shoot up out of I mean,

1133
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:36,200
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna say out of nowhere, but like no

1134
00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:38,560
Speaker 5: one was expecting him to run forty four low and

1135
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:39,920
Speaker 5: it's just phenomenal.

1136
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:41,840
Speaker 7: So we had all the pieces.

1137
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:45,759
Speaker 5: The issue is it's figuring out who to put on

1138
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:50,480
Speaker 5: what leg to maximize those legs. And Okay, I think

1139
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 5: because Quincy had that little tweaking his hamstring in his final, like,

1140
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:58,040
Speaker 5: we had to reshuffle the order. But I knew we

1141
00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:01,839
Speaker 5: still had the pieces because V had split forty three because.

1142
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:06,279
Speaker 1: Twice in the mid and I knew well three times

1143
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:08,200
Speaker 1: because he ran to mix Relay D Life and he

1144
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:09,440
Speaker 1: opened and the qualify.

1145
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:11,439
Speaker 7: Yeah, so V had the forty three in him.

1146
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:14,319
Speaker 5: I knew. I knew Bryce had forty three in him

1147
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 5: as well too, because he was consistently running forty forty

1148
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:21,160
Speaker 5: four lows. So I knew if if if Bryce lights

1149
00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:23,719
Speaker 5: come on, he's gonna bring that stick around because he's

1150
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:26,759
Speaker 5: from TEXTA and M, so he's gonna run. And and

1151
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 5: it just all came down to what my leg would be.

1152
00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:34,880
Speaker 5: I actually wanted to run second this meet because I

1153
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:37,960
Speaker 5: knew if I ran second, I would run forty two

1154
00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 5: eight or forty two nine on that wow, because I.

1155
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:44,799
Speaker 7: Yeah, I just know second leg is the best.

1156
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 5: It's the best leg because you can on that tangent

1157
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:49,319
Speaker 5: when you cut in, you can kind of cheat some

1158
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:50,360
Speaker 5: meters if.

1159
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:54,320
Speaker 7: You do it right all them second legs. But fast.

1160
00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:56,560
Speaker 5: I mean you still got to be fast to be

1161
00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:59,120
Speaker 5: on that second leg. But like, if you do it

1162
00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:01,960
Speaker 5: right and you run a good tingent, like I'm telling you,

1163
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 5: you can cheat it a little bit and you can

1164
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:08,520
Speaker 5: get that split. So initially, so when that happened, you know,

1165
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 5: you know, coach Mike marsh came and was just like, hey, man, like,

1166
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:11,520
Speaker 5: I need a.

1167
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:13,240
Speaker 7: Dog on anchor leg because.

1168
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:15,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, you you had to be on ankle. So I

1169
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:17,320
Speaker 3: don't know, Roth.

1170
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:19,520
Speaker 1: I don't mean to cut you off, but r I

1171
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:21,400
Speaker 1: don't know if anybody could have hold Tobe could have

1172
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:25,360
Speaker 1: held Tobago off other than you because you, like you said,

1173
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:28,560
Speaker 1: you had a strategy. He didn't put you under the

1174
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:31,640
Speaker 1: gun because of your pace. I think somebody else.

1175
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:32,160
Speaker 3: Would have panicked.

1176
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:35,200
Speaker 1: And if you panic in that situation, he gonna chase

1177
00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:38,320
Speaker 1: you down like the Great Britain did. Antonio Pettigrew. We

1178
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 1: saw low a good friend of mine, Angelo Taylor. Same

1179
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 1: thing in the Olympics if you panic on that anchor leg,

1180
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:46,760
Speaker 1: because everybody got their board dog with an anchor right,

1181
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:49,600
Speaker 1: so everybody can go. Sub forty three could go so

1182
00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:52,240
Speaker 1: a sub forty four on an anchor.

1183
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:56,000
Speaker 7: Leg, gone it every single day as the first leg

1184
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:56,720
Speaker 7: was forty three.

1185
00:57:56,760 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 5: Then them boys came to run. I ain't really can't.

1186
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:01,440
Speaker 5: They were not playing out man, they were not playing around.

1187
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 3: So, oh, Joe, you didn't know this. But Ry was

1188
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:06,120
Speaker 3: a quarterback, right what they play?

1189
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 5: I was a wide receiver. Yeah, my dad said the

1190
00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:13,040
Speaker 5: wrong thing. Yeah, I played wide receiver in free safety

1191
00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:15,600
Speaker 5: in high school. And I okay, yeah, yeah yeah, I

1192
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:17,800
Speaker 5: was so what, okay.

1193
00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:19,520
Speaker 3: So why why did you give up football and went.

1194
00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:21,840
Speaker 5: To the track Because I'm from New York and people

1195
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:24,320
Speaker 5: in New York don't get good scholarships.

1196
00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:24,880
Speaker 7: To go to big D one schools.

1197
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:28,640
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, So I was like I ran track and

1198
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:31,160
Speaker 5: it was like, you know, like I wasn't really getting

1199
00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:34,840
Speaker 5: we weren't getting good recruits or recruiters coming out to

1200
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:37,560
Speaker 5: my high school because we were small high school in

1201
00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 5: Westchester County in New York. So you know, we had

1202
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:43,880
Speaker 5: one or two guys like you know, go to big universities,

1203
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:46,360
Speaker 5: but it wasn't like we were going to like l

1204
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:50,120
Speaker 5: s U or or USC or a Clemson, you know

1205
00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:52,400
Speaker 5: what I mean. So it was just one of those

1206
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:56,160
Speaker 5: things where you know, that was my avenue out, you know,

1207
00:58:56,400 --> 00:58:59,200
Speaker 5: and uh and I was really good at track my

1208
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:00,840
Speaker 5: freshman year, so I just stuck with it.

1209
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:04,200
Speaker 3: So you originally went to u c l A transfer.

1210
00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:06,919
Speaker 5: I thought about walking on, to be honest with you,

1211
00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 5: but they were like, yeah, you gotta give it your

1212
00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:11,480
Speaker 5: trash scholarship because the title nine no way in hell.

1213
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:16,640
Speaker 5: But uh yeah, like a part of me wish I

1214
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:21,200
Speaker 5: played in college. To be honest, yeah, I'm not gonna

1215
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:24,480
Speaker 5: pull a Tyreek and say like, you know, I'm fast

1216
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:27,560
Speaker 5: and no or I could go catch a Yeah.

1217
00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:30,400
Speaker 3: How you know I'm after that? How you go ask

1218
00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:30,680
Speaker 3: you that.

1219
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:34,960
Speaker 7: You believe that on the show. I'm tired of the

1220
00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:36,760
Speaker 7: no allowed slander. Man, that's my.

1221
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:39,840
Speaker 3: Guy, Okay, we'll talk to him, talk to him about slander.

1222
00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:42,120
Speaker 5: I'm not saying like I can go out and do

1223
00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:44,479
Speaker 5: what you guys do and catch a ball across the middle.

1224
00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:45,320
Speaker 7: I know how hard it is.

1225
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:47,959
Speaker 5: I know how hard it is to read plays and

1226
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:50,480
Speaker 5: and and and memorize stuff and and go out there

1227
00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:50,880
Speaker 5: and put.

1228
00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:54,040
Speaker 7: Your body at risk every day. But Tyreek, you're not

1229
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 7: beating no in a hundred. Man.

1230
00:59:55,520 --> 00:59:57,920
Speaker 5: There's just no way. And you probably won't even beat

1231
00:59:57,960 --> 01:00:01,360
Speaker 5: the top collegiate guys man like they now.

1232
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:04,720
Speaker 1: When it comes to men's skateboarding, there's no one more

1233
01:00:04,760 --> 01:00:07,160
Speaker 1: accomplished than this gentleman that we're about to sit down

1234
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:10,400
Speaker 1: and have a conversation with now. He's from Davis, California,

1235
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:13,760
Speaker 1: his name. You talk about world championships, you're talking about

1236
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:18,200
Speaker 1: X game. When it comes to men's skateboarding. He is

1237
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:21,120
Speaker 1: the de facto guy. He has his own Nike skateboarding

1238
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 1: shoe and Harry is Ladies and gentlemen, Niga, Houston, how

1239
01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:30,480
Speaker 1: you doing, Nija? You your first two rounds flawless, You

1240
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:34,400
Speaker 1: land some huge tricks. You're in the moment and at

1241
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:36,520
Speaker 1: that moment, tell us what's going through your mind? You

1242
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 1: got one more run to make, You're you're right now,

1243
01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:43,200
Speaker 1: you're in gold medal position. You just got one one

1244
01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:46,840
Speaker 1: more round, one round to go. What what's going through

1245
01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:49,400
Speaker 1: your mind at that moment? And then the pressures did

1246
01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:51,480
Speaker 1: you start to tense up? Did you start to feel

1247
01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:52,240
Speaker 1: the pressure.

1248
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:56,240
Speaker 13: I mean, I like to say that I'm sure you

1249
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:59,480
Speaker 13: guys feel this too. Is like anytime someone is very

1250
01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:02,760
Speaker 13: competitive and you care, you're gonna get gonna You're gonna

1251
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:05,080
Speaker 13: feel the pressure, you know, that's just a part of

1252
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:07,560
Speaker 13: caring about what we're doing, having that passion for what

1253
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:10,160
Speaker 13: we do. So yeah, I mean I definitely felt the

1254
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:11,920
Speaker 13: nerves out there, but I feel like I was handling

1255
01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:18,160
Speaker 13: it pretty well. Qualifiers went smoothly. First run in the finals,

1256
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:21,680
Speaker 13: I landed my last trick sketchy, which really bummed out

1257
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:23,600
Speaker 13: because I got eighty seven. If I would have landed

1258
01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:25,600
Speaker 13: the clean, I would have got a ninety. So the

1259
01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:28,240
Speaker 13: second run, I definitely had the pressure on me, was

1260
01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:31,040
Speaker 13: able to pull through. And then when it comes down

1261
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:35,080
Speaker 13: to the trick section, it's I mean, it's I like

1262
01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:37,680
Speaker 13: to say that you go out there with with confidence,

1263
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:41,000
Speaker 13: but you can't ever go out there expecting to land

1264
01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:44,480
Speaker 13: these tricks every single try because the stuff we're doing

1265
01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:47,200
Speaker 13: is just too technical and too difficult, and like so

1266
01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:50,120
Speaker 13: many things need to go right every time to land

1267
01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:53,880
Speaker 13: them every try. But it was it was going really

1268
01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:55,400
Speaker 13: good for me. I was in a good spot. I

1269
01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:59,280
Speaker 13: landed my first trick. I landed my second trick, which

1270
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:01,640
Speaker 13: got a little bit of a low score because I

1271
01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:04,120
Speaker 13: also landed it a little bit sketchy. You could see

1272
01:02:04,120 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 13: that my backfoot was hanging off the board a little

1273
01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:10,080
Speaker 13: bit okay, but I still got a ninety three for

1274
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:13,240
Speaker 13: that one since I was solid. And then that last trick, man.

1275
01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:13,680
Speaker 4: I was going for.

1276
01:02:13,880 --> 01:02:16,480
Speaker 13: It's called a switch hill cricket grinding down the hubba

1277
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:19,680
Speaker 13: Hubba is a down down ledge and it's a trick

1278
01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:22,440
Speaker 13: that I've been looking forward to trying ever since I

1279
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:23,600
Speaker 13: saw the design of.

1280
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:24,960
Speaker 18: The course a few weeks before.

1281
01:02:25,840 --> 01:02:28,440
Speaker 13: Yeah, the trick I've been practicing a lot lately throughout

1282
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:31,280
Speaker 13: the past couple of years. And man, I felt I

1283
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:34,600
Speaker 13: felt really confident going into it. The first one didn't

1284
01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:37,120
Speaker 13: go so well, second one got a little closer, and

1285
01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:39,919
Speaker 13: then when it got down to the third one, that's

1286
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:41,840
Speaker 13: when I got bumped down from being.

1287
01:02:41,640 --> 01:02:43,520
Speaker 18: In first to second, then to third.

1288
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:48,200
Speaker 13: And honestly, I think back on it, and when I

1289
01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 13: was dropping in, I got my headphones in. I like

1290
01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:53,760
Speaker 13: listening to house music, so good vibes, got the hype going.

1291
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:55,160
Speaker 18: I felt.

1292
01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:57,880
Speaker 13: I felt good. Man, I felt really confident dropping into it.

1293
01:02:57,960 --> 01:03:00,760
Speaker 13: I felt like the energy was right. I didn't feel

1294
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:04,560
Speaker 13: my legs shaking or anything like that. So it's hard

1295
01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:09,720
Speaker 13: to really pinpoint exactly what goes wrong in those situations

1296
01:03:09,720 --> 01:03:12,760
Speaker 13: to not be able to put down the trick, but man,

1297
01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:16,160
Speaker 13: really you can't. You can't think back on it too hard,

1298
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:19,080
Speaker 13: and it'll just torture yourself because, like I said, the

1299
01:03:19,160 --> 01:03:23,040
Speaker 13: stuff we do on the skateboard is so technical that,

1300
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:26,320
Speaker 13: like you know, it could be your your foot being

1301
01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 13: in a slight wrong position, leaning back a little too much,

1302
01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:32,000
Speaker 13: going a little too fasts, going a little too slow.

1303
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:34,760
Speaker 13: There's a lot of things that come into play there,

1304
01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:37,720
Speaker 13: and I feel like that's something about skateboarding that's really

1305
01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:40,320
Speaker 13: uh man, it's frustrating because I feel like, like what

1306
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:43,440
Speaker 13: you guys do in football, it's like you make I mean,

1307
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:45,160
Speaker 13: correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel like you

1308
01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:48,040
Speaker 13: make a wrong a wrong play or a wrong move

1309
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:49,840
Speaker 13: and you kind of know what you did wrong.

1310
01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:53,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, important.

1311
01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:53,440
Speaker 4: Man.

1312
01:03:53,480 --> 01:03:56,280
Speaker 13: It's just it's so frustrating because if you just play

1313
01:03:56,320 --> 01:03:57,120
Speaker 13: it back in your.

1314
01:03:57,000 --> 01:03:59,360
Speaker 18: Head, you're like, damn, what went wrong? What could have

1315
01:03:59,400 --> 01:04:00,000
Speaker 18: done differently?

1316
01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:03,040
Speaker 13: But when it comes down to it, man, it's it's

1317
01:04:03,080 --> 01:04:04,800
Speaker 13: it's hard to stuff for doing out there, and it's

1318
01:04:04,840 --> 01:04:06,000
Speaker 13: not easy to land those trips.

1319
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:06,400
Speaker 7: Every time.

1320
01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:10,720
Speaker 1: You've been credited with taking skateboarding from what Tony Hawk

1321
01:04:10,760 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 1: started four decades ago and making it more mainstream making

1322
01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:18,360
Speaker 1: it more popular. What was that transition like? Because everybody

1323
01:04:18,440 --> 01:04:21,680
Speaker 1: knows Tony Hawk is the godfather. I mean if there's

1324
01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:25,640
Speaker 1: a godfather of anything, he's the godfather of skateboarding. And

1325
01:04:25,720 --> 01:04:29,200
Speaker 1: you were you credited with like, Okay, it's mainstream. Now,

1326
01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:31,720
Speaker 1: we see it on television, now we see kid, it's

1327
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:34,440
Speaker 1: in the Olympics. What more can you ask for? Because

1328
01:04:34,440 --> 01:04:38,440
Speaker 1: it's it's a global sport. Now what when you hear that?

1329
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:40,200
Speaker 1: What does that make you feel?

1330
01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:40,640
Speaker 4: Nigic?

1331
01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:44,760
Speaker 13: I mean just being in the same you know, conversation

1332
01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:47,560
Speaker 13: or compared to it all to a guy like Tony

1333
01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:49,320
Speaker 13: Hawk is a is a true honor.

1334
01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:51,840
Speaker 18: My first skateboard ever was a Tony Hawk board. I

1335
01:04:51,920 --> 01:04:53,840
Speaker 18: grew up to with.

1336
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:56,880
Speaker 13: His demos and being like, oh ship Tony, Like even

1337
01:04:56,880 --> 01:04:59,440
Speaker 13: though even though he wasn't a street skater, he was

1338
01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:01,000
Speaker 13: a bird scared the big rand, right.

1339
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:05,480
Speaker 18: He was such an inspiration And I.

1340
01:05:04,720 --> 01:05:08,800
Speaker 13: Guarantee skateboarding would not be where it's at now in

1341
01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:11,400
Speaker 13: the Olympics if it wasn't for Tony Off. And yeah,

1342
01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:14,640
Speaker 13: I've heard some people say a similar thing about about me,

1343
01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:19,000
Speaker 13: you know, pushing the progression and getting more eyes on

1344
01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 13: street skateboarding. Man, skateboarding is a special thing, especially when

1345
01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:28,800
Speaker 13: it comes to the street skateboarding, because it really, it

1346
01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:31,480
Speaker 13: really is what it's called. It comes from the streets.

1347
01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:32,440
Speaker 3: You know.

1348
01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:35,360
Speaker 13: People first started skateboarding on the sidewalk cruising around here

1349
01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:38,480
Speaker 13: in southern California, and then people started flipping the board,

1350
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:41,280
Speaker 13: and then they started skating little curves, and then they're

1351
01:05:41,320 --> 01:05:44,320
Speaker 13: jumping down handrails, and then there's contest, and now it's

1352
01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:48,200
Speaker 13: in the Olympics. So I think the I think that's

1353
01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:50,919
Speaker 13: the most special part about skateboarding is it's it really

1354
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:53,920
Speaker 13: is so different from any other sport out there, to

1355
01:05:53,960 --> 01:05:56,640
Speaker 13: the point where it is it still feels weird for

1356
01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:59,919
Speaker 13: me to call it a sport. I see it more

1357
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:02,840
Speaker 13: as away of life. We away of life and you know,

1358
01:06:02,880 --> 01:06:04,160
Speaker 13: a lifestyle fativity.

1359
01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:07,880
Speaker 1: That's the gold medal winning four hundred meters. He just

1360
01:06:08,040 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 1: ran the second fastest time in Olympic history. He won

1361
01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:14,720
Speaker 1: the goal put us back on top of the podium

1362
01:06:14,920 --> 01:06:17,560
Speaker 1: for the first time in the four hundred meters since

1363
01:06:17,560 --> 01:06:18,400
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight.

1364
01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:21,320
Speaker 3: That is Quincy Hall, Chris Bailey.

1365
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:24,960
Speaker 1: It was reported that you're dealing with a little hamstring issue,

1366
01:06:24,960 --> 01:06:27,840
Speaker 1: a leg issue, and you weren't able to run. So

1367
01:06:27,880 --> 01:06:31,880
Speaker 1: they laid off with Chris Bailey who handed the vernon Norwood,

1368
01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:36,439
Speaker 1: Bryce Demon and Rod Benjamin. And if burning Norwood, he's

1369
01:06:36,480 --> 01:06:39,360
Speaker 1: had an unbelievable because he's ran extremely well at the

1370
01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:43,560
Speaker 1: mixed doubles, and yesterday he ran us back into qualification

1371
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:45,200
Speaker 1: running forty three to five.

1372
01:06:45,560 --> 01:06:47,320
Speaker 3: Today he split another one.

1373
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:50,440
Speaker 1: But it came down to that ancor leg and you

1374
01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:52,320
Speaker 1: know you got to be a boy dog to stand

1375
01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:55,280
Speaker 1: tall on that ancor quincy. You got less Low tobac

1376
01:06:55,760 --> 01:07:01,400
Speaker 1: Lesla Tobogo run forty four, and you got Rod Benjamin,

1377
01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:04,680
Speaker 1: the reigning Olympic champ at four hundred at the hurdles

1378
01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:07,400
Speaker 1: when they got the baton. Tell me what would have

1379
01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:09,760
Speaker 1: been your strategy and what did you like about how

1380
01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:10,440
Speaker 1: Rod played it?

1381
01:07:11,360 --> 01:07:12,520
Speaker 19: Rob played this move man.

1382
01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:16,840
Speaker 20: Rod knows that Toboga is a quicker running, so Tobogo

1383
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:19,320
Speaker 20: can't really like trail him as much. But if I,

1384
01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:20,680
Speaker 20: if I was Roby, would have took him out a

1385
01:07:20,680 --> 01:07:22,919
Speaker 20: little bit faster and made him chase a little harder.

1386
01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:24,960
Speaker 20: But Rod played the smart man right had a long

1387
01:07:25,040 --> 01:07:28,439
Speaker 20: week Rose champion, So Rob played the smart and if

1388
01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:30,800
Speaker 20: if Tobogo would have tried. I feel like Roy would

1389
01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:32,880
Speaker 20: have ran a little faster, but yeah, Rod played it

1390
01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:34,760
Speaker 20: real smart, Rose a good dude.

1391
01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:38,200
Speaker 1: I thought Roy didn't stepped on the gas because he

1392
01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:40,800
Speaker 1: wanted to make sure he has something left at the end.

1393
01:07:41,280 --> 01:07:44,840
Speaker 1: Because Tobogo ran the third last fastest split that's ever

1394
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:48,760
Speaker 1: been run. He ran forty three three. Ry ran forty

1395
01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:52,200
Speaker 1: one forty three one three, which is the fifth fastest.

1396
01:07:52,360 --> 01:07:53,160
Speaker 3: Only two men.

1397
01:07:53,040 --> 01:07:57,640
Speaker 1: Have ever run sub split forty three obviously, that's Michael

1398
01:07:57,720 --> 01:08:01,320
Speaker 1: Johnson Jeremy Warner. Tobogo has the third. In the ninety

1399
01:08:01,320 --> 01:08:04,520
Speaker 1: two Olympic Quincy Watts ran a forty one one of

1400
01:08:04,600 --> 01:08:06,600
Speaker 1: forty three. I keep saying forty one, ran forty three

1401
01:08:06,680 --> 01:08:09,920
Speaker 1: one and then ride today. So what we saw today,

1402
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:13,920
Speaker 1: it doesn't normally come down like this. Well boy, that

1403
01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:15,880
Speaker 1: was that's what we want to see because normally we

1404
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:17,200
Speaker 1: just run away with the thank you.

1405
01:08:17,360 --> 01:08:19,439
Speaker 20: Yeah we already were just run away with But I

1406
01:08:19,600 --> 01:08:22,200
Speaker 20: kind of seen it from the uh from the pre

1407
01:08:22,240 --> 01:08:24,000
Speaker 20: Lims and then from the from the go to good

1408
01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:25,760
Speaker 20: that Boswana got a good team.

1409
01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:27,679
Speaker 19: You know what I mean, it's just now you has

1410
01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:28,360
Speaker 19: just got some dogs.

1411
01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:31,040
Speaker 20: Boswana got a strong team and they got like five

1412
01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:33,880
Speaker 20: six guys at the run. Forty four men and forty

1413
01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:36,080
Speaker 20: four mini translates to forty three in the split. So

1414
01:08:36,200 --> 01:08:39,000
Speaker 20: now we knew Boswana was gonna be strong and stuff

1415
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:41,120
Speaker 20: like that. But without me being on the relay, I

1416
01:08:41,200 --> 01:08:43,439
Speaker 20: knew we could win it just because we got some

1417
01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:46,080
Speaker 20: dogs too. I mean, I know Quincy Wilson, he split

1418
01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:48,559
Speaker 20: forty seven, but it's his first time being out here.

1419
01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:49,360
Speaker 4: On the global stage.

1420
01:08:49,400 --> 01:08:52,280
Speaker 20: And uh, I say, he's been dealing with some hamstring

1421
01:08:52,280 --> 01:08:54,639
Speaker 20: injury too, But it's it's just like I said, it's

1422
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:57,519
Speaker 20: learning experience. But any anything we put out there, I

1423
01:08:57,520 --> 01:08:59,559
Speaker 20: had my money on our team.

1424
01:08:59,840 --> 01:09:02,719
Speaker 1: You do know, if y'all, if you run on that relay, y'all,

1425
01:09:02,720 --> 01:09:04,679
Speaker 1: that royal record might be two fifty three.

1426
01:09:05,320 --> 01:09:07,639
Speaker 3: You know that, right? You ain't right.

1427
01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:09,720
Speaker 20: I've been seeing a lot of comments about it, but

1428
01:09:10,040 --> 01:09:11,320
Speaker 20: I don't like to think of it what it could

1429
01:09:11,360 --> 01:09:12,680
Speaker 20: have should because I'm not that type of guy.

1430
01:09:12,720 --> 01:09:14,439
Speaker 19: I'm a I'm a what happened? You know what I mean?

1431
01:09:14,520 --> 01:09:17,280
Speaker 19: So I don't like to put myself. It's not about

1432
01:09:17,280 --> 01:09:17,800
Speaker 19: me right now.

1433
01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:20,080
Speaker 20: It's about them four guys that step up line and

1434
01:09:20,400 --> 01:09:22,400
Speaker 20: ran that race and wanted so it's not about me.

1435
01:09:22,840 --> 01:09:24,599
Speaker 19: I run, I won a four hundred. Yeah, that's cool.

1436
01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:26,280
Speaker 20: But I didn't step out the day because I didn't

1437
01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:28,639
Speaker 20: feel I didn't feel comfortable with my hamstring.

1438
01:09:28,680 --> 01:09:29,200
Speaker 19: I didn't want to.

1439
01:09:29,400 --> 01:09:31,200
Speaker 20: I didn't want to be tight or like happen to

1440
01:09:31,240 --> 01:09:33,599
Speaker 20: stop running in preventing the USA from being the gold medal.

1441
01:09:33,640 --> 01:09:36,200
Speaker 20: So that was just a business move and just being

1442
01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:38,080
Speaker 20: being a bigger person, being a good teammate.

1443
01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:42,759
Speaker 9: I'm curious, how did you we saw the four hundred, Yeah,

1444
01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:45,200
Speaker 9: we saw come off that last curve.

1445
01:09:45,560 --> 01:09:48,400
Speaker 3: Who you are? Forget that part.

1446
01:09:48,800 --> 01:09:50,880
Speaker 9: I need to know how did you mainly prepare for

1447
01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:54,600
Speaker 9: the pressure of competing on the world biggest stage. I

1448
01:09:55,360 --> 01:09:57,760
Speaker 9: just want to know that first. Then we'll get to

1449
01:09:57,800 --> 01:09:59,719
Speaker 9: the to the race and the end results.

1450
01:10:00,280 --> 01:10:00,519
Speaker 12: Well.

1451
01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:04,080
Speaker 20: Uh, like I said, man, I don't, I don't. I

1452
01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:06,120
Speaker 20: don't really like talking about the track. I don't really

1453
01:10:06,200 --> 01:10:08,880
Speaker 20: like talking like that. But I consider myself like being

1454
01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:11,800
Speaker 20: one of the mentally strongest pressons out there, and I

1455
01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:13,559
Speaker 20: don't know, I don't think there's no.

1456
01:10:13,479 --> 01:10:14,080
Speaker 19: Pressure on me.

1457
01:10:14,160 --> 01:10:16,320
Speaker 20: Like every time I go out there, it's like me

1458
01:10:16,520 --> 01:10:19,240
Speaker 20: racing in the small meat of somebody else. I don't

1459
01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:21,599
Speaker 20: really I don't feel no pressure like that. I don't

1460
01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:23,680
Speaker 20: know about the mother. I don't feel no pressure. All

1461
01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:26,800
Speaker 20: I feel is that I practiced by myself. So when

1462
01:10:26,800 --> 01:10:28,559
Speaker 20: I'm out there and i'm out there grinding, I'm out

1463
01:10:28,560 --> 01:10:30,720
Speaker 20: there doing my my my my meters, and I'm out

1464
01:10:30,720 --> 01:10:32,479
Speaker 20: there doing my heels and all of that stuff. And

1465
01:10:33,400 --> 01:10:35,160
Speaker 20: I just feel like if I'm out there by myself,

1466
01:10:35,160 --> 01:10:37,960
Speaker 20: because my coach is always Califorida cars own, and I'm

1467
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:39,960
Speaker 20: out there by myself. So when I'm out there just

1468
01:10:40,320 --> 01:10:42,200
Speaker 20: putting me in my work and do my ground, I'm

1469
01:10:42,240 --> 01:10:44,000
Speaker 20: out there telling myself to like, come on, cute, let's go.

1470
01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:45,800
Speaker 20: You know, you gotta get up, let's go. So if

1471
01:10:45,800 --> 01:10:47,519
Speaker 20: I don't want it myself, then nobody's gonna want it

1472
01:10:47,560 --> 01:10:49,480
Speaker 20: for me. So it's not really a mental standpoint.

1473
01:10:49,880 --> 01:10:50,400
Speaker 4: It's just me.

1474
01:10:50,760 --> 01:10:51,960
Speaker 19: I got bills to pay, you know what I mean,

1475
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:52,479
Speaker 19: I got daughter.

1476
01:10:54,479 --> 01:10:56,160
Speaker 4: I'm just keeping it real with you know, yeah, yeah,

1477
01:10:56,240 --> 01:10:56,919
Speaker 4: yeah yeah.

1478
01:10:56,960 --> 01:10:59,160
Speaker 20: I look at it like as the bills every day

1479
01:10:59,240 --> 01:11:01,400
Speaker 20: on the first. So I pick myself up, I tell

1480
01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:03,800
Speaker 20: myself to do it. I encourage myself. You can't encourage yourself.

1481
01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:05,960
Speaker 20: Nobody else cancurage it for you. So it's not really

1482
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:08,639
Speaker 20: a mental standpoint on how I can get myself ready.

1483
01:11:08,640 --> 01:11:10,760
Speaker 20: It's just that do all mentality, you know what I mean.

1484
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:12,439
Speaker 20: You gotta you gotta want it yourself.

1485
01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:12,759
Speaker 19: Man.

1486
01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:14,920
Speaker 1: The volume
