We welcome great friend of the pod, Jordan Kutzer back to talk all things USATF Olympic Trials.  Jordan, otherwise known as Boyfriends of Oiselle (he is the BF of Little Wing athlete and 1500 meter superstar, Rebecca Mehra).  In this episode we talk about what it was like to have a front row seat to the biggest meet of a track and field athlete’s career.
Some highlights from our conversation include:
😎 Cooling down from the record temperatures in Eugene
🐱 What it’s like to support a pro athlete as they get ready for the trials
⏰ The oddity of an athlete’s entire career boiling down to just a few minutes or even seconds
🌍 The outsized importance we all put on global championships, especially the olympics
📈 How the USATF can help grow the sport by allowing athletes to better represent their sponsors during the events
💘 Our favorite performances
🐦 Rebecca’s race plans during the trials
👟 Bouncing back from the 1500 to run the 800
🧀 The now infamous “Will run for cheese” tweet and subsequent response
🌲 Stanford pride and the way they represented at the trials
🔥 Our obsession with Sha’Carri Richardson and why we think she is the future of this sport, regardless of the whole THC thing (we love you Sha’Carri and we can’t wait to watch you set the world on fire for years to come)
The tl;dr of it all is that we love track and field!
