Christian Coleman Strike 3? Guest Nia Akins Joins The Brooks Beasts + Rojo's Coaching Tree


Listen Later

Christian Coleman, the world's fastest man and the favorite for Olympic gold in 2021, may be banned from the sport after he is alleged for the second time to have missed drug test #3. Pro track and field is back with the Impossible Games, Rojo has a coaching tree and more.

Our special guest at 61:26 is recent Penn graduate Nia Akins, who became the first 2020 collegian to sign a pro deal. Akins discusses her decision to join the Brooks Beasts, how she balanced training in college with 12-hour clinical rotations as a nursing major, what it's like being a Black female runner in 2020, and her fight to increase voter registration.
