I thought I would do a fun, different style show—Brad’s Olympic Track & Field summary wrap up show!

Track is my passion and in this episode, I go over some of the highlights, great performances, and fun backstories from this year's Olympic Men's Track & Field Competition. 

Enjoy the show!

 

TIMESTAMPS:

The import thing is not to win but to take part in the Olympics. [04:23]

The coverage was excellent. However, the focus should be on all athletes wherever they are from rather than so much on athletes from USA. [10:18]

Long distance running has been dominated by runners from East African nations in the past, but Grant Fisher came through. [13:09]

Jamaica is amazing, being such a small country, producing amazing athletes. [14:50]

Medal counts is not the most important part of the Olympics. [17:16]

Noah Lyles and Fred Kerley have amazing performances. [23:01]

Leslie Tebogo from Botswana and Kenny Bednarek are two guys to keep an eye on. [28:37]

The human can only deliver a maximum effort for around seven seconds, and then at around 20 seconds you get overcome with lactic acid and you have to slow down further. [31:40]

Sometimes a wind meter is involved to compute the records. [34:48]

There is a significant advantage in drafting in the running races, not just Tour de France and swimming. [41:09]

Why is being a gracious loser important? [46:27]

There are a lot of older records on the women’s side that should be wiped out. [54:58]

The steeplechase is very unusual but exciting. [56:55]

The 4 x 100 relay event is very controversial. [01:00:05]

The Marathon is dominated by runners of East African descent. The 20-kilometer walk was an event folks trained well for.  [01:10:41]

The high jump was fun to watch. The finalists had to have a jump off. [01:12:19]

Pole vaulter Mondo Duplantis is coached by his parents. He started pole vaulting when he was three years old. [01:14:26]

The long jump and the triple jump had amazing performances. [01:17:49]

The shot put was dominated by Ryan Crowser. Discus gave Jamaica another gold. Hammer throw gold went to Katzberg from Canada. [01:19:49]

The javelin throw was a surprise winner, Neeraj Chopra from India. [01:20:54]

The winner of the decathlon, Markus Rooth from Norway was a huge upset. [01:21:53]
