Summary
The golden hour of track and field on Day 4 included shared gold medals between friends Gianmarco Tamberi and Mutaz Barshim, a world record in the triple jump by Yuliar Rojas and a former long jumper winning the men’s 100m in the post-Usain Bolt era. Team Torch Talk is back at it and breaking down an incredibly exciting evening session of Day 3 and morning session of Day 4 in Tokyo. Medals were won, favorites didn’t make it through and apparently it is possible to have enough energy to run, fall down, do a somersault and get up and win your 1500m heat less than 12 hours before a 5000m final. Plus: Chris has a viral tweet...for now.
Also discussed in this episode:
- The fall between Isaiah Jewett and Nijel Amos that cost only one of them a trip to the finals
- Long jump madness that results in a Greek champion
- Fred Kerley's risk pays off massively and why he decided to go for the 100 meters in the first place
- Big Italian energy
