Last week marked the 60th anniversary of one of Canada’s greatest sporting moments. On July 15th 1960, Harry Jerome won the 100m at the Canadian Olympic Trials in 10.00. In doing so, he tied the world record and qualified for the Rome Olympics. Jerome went on to set 6 more world records, compete in 3 Olympic Games, and win international medals for Canada. 

In this episode we speak with author Norma Charles about the life and legacy of Harry Jerome, and about why we should celebrate him far more than we do. In 2017 she published a young adult novel entitled “Runner: The Life of Harry Jerome, World’s Fastest Man”. This book was written in the hopes of sharing Jerome’s story and legacy with readers across the country, particularly young people who might look to him as a role model.

A new mandate by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has been making waves amongst many Tokyo 2021 hopefuls. Rule 50 of the Olympic charter prohibits political demonstration or protest within the Olympic village, competition venues, or medal podiums. In this episode we speak with Dr. Janelle Joseph about the implications of this rule, and what might be lost or gained from maintaining, as the IOC does, that the Olympic Games are a neutral, apolitical event.

STATEMENT FROM THE SHAKEOUT PODCAST:

On behalf of The Shakeout Podcast and Canadian Running Magazine, we want to express our collective grief following the murders of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and countless other Black and Indigenous peoples across North America at the hands of state sanctioned violence. We also recognize that we have failed to adequately and responsibly represent the diversity of our audience, and of the running community at large. We have spent the past weeks exploring ways to remedy this inexcusable problem. We have a renewed commitment to sharing diverse stories from the running world, and using our platforms to amplify melanated and marginalized voices. If you, or someone you know has a story you think should be shared on The Shakeout, please feel free to email us at [email protected] You can also connect with us on IG, Facebook and Twitter at @ShakeoutPodcast.
