Summary
WE ARE SPEECHLESS – BUT NOT ACTUALLY BECAUSE THIS IS A PODCAST.
Chris, Kyle and Dana try to process the men's 400-meter hurdle final, which may go down as one of the greatest Olympic final races ever. Karsten Warholm just shattered his own world record and the 46-second barrier to win gold in the men's 400-meter hurdles over Rai Benjamin.
Also discussed:
– Sifan Hassan toyed with the women's 5,000-meter field just 12 hours after falling in her 1,500-meter race
– The men's steeplechase ended up going as predicted
– The women's long jump final was epic and the world needs to appreciate the brilliance of Brittney Reese more
– Tara Davis' personality was on full display
–Sydney McLaughlin and Dalilah Muhammad set the stage for an epic finale
– We discuss whether you're allowed to call yourself an Olympian if you don't compete at the Games
-Nick Willis' wave at the starting line was one of the best moment
-A special guest phone call from Tokyo from ESPN's John Andersen
