About this episode
What a week. We had a crazy and marvelous World Cross Country Championships in Australia with a tough course, brutal weather, Letesenbet Gidey collapsing, greatness from Jacob Kiplimo and two USA junior medals. Then it was world records galore on the track with Ryan Crouser crushing it , Femke Bol taking down the oldest track record on the books, and Lamecha Girma breaking Daniel Komken's world record. USATF Indoors was a bit of an afterthought but it delivered with some controversy and Sam Prakel leaving as a double champion.
