Marie Claire article: https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/shelly-ann-fraser-pryce-interview-2025/Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is the greatest 100m sprinter of all time, and one of the greatest track and field athletes in history. She recently announced that 2025 would be her final season competing in the sport, and that last year's Paris Olympics was her final Games. At those 2024 Olympics, Shelly competed in the first round of the 100m, but surprisingly did not show up to compete in the semi-finals and ultimately left Paris, ending her 16 year long Olympic career. This was a shock to the track & field world, and for almost a year she never provided a clear explanation as to why she chose not to compete. In July 2025, she sat down with Marie Claire and finally explained what occurred in Paris last year.-------------------------------Host: Anderson Emerole | @emeroleanderson on TwitterSUPPORT THE PODCAST

Christian Coleman is the 2019 World Champion and one of the fastest 100m sprinters in history with his personal best of 9.76. But since winning his world title, he has yet to return to the podium at either Worlds or Olympics. In 2025, Coleman hasn't been running as fast as he usually does, but many other Americans have consistently run faster times and also finished ahead of him in various races. With a few weeks ahead of the USA Championships, will Christian Coleman be able to finish top 3 in the 100m and book his ticket to the 2025 World Championships?-------------------------------Host: Anderson Emerole | @emeroleanderson on TwitterSUPPORT THE PODCAST

Breaking the 9.80 second barrier in the 100m Dash has always been seen as one of the most remarkable accomplishments in Track & Field. Over the past 40 years, since Ben Johnson first illegally ran 9.79 at the 1988 Olympics and Maurice Greene officially ran 9.79 in 1999, we have progressively seen more and more athletes run 9.7 seconds for faster. This was most notable during the Usain Bolt Era where a plethora of sprinters broke the barrier on multiple occasions. Since then, there has been a drop off in number sub-9.80 second performances in recent years.Kishane Thompson recently ran 9.75 seconds in Jamaica, the fastest time in 10 years, and an indication that we may see more athletes dip under the barrier once again, similar to like we had seen in years past.-------------------------------Host: Anderson Emerole | @emeroleanderson on TwitterSUPPORT THE PODCAST
