The return of the Rundown! In this special edition of The Shakeout Podcast, host John Gay is joined by Canadian Running staff writers Cameron Ormond and Marley Dickinson to recap an exciting winter of racing on the indoor oval and set the stage for the fast-approaching spring season on the track and roads.2025 got off to a flying start and the team at CR takes you through their favourite moments thus far, from Canadian dominance at NCAAs to Sarah Mitton's title defence at the World Indoor Championships and Evan Dunfee's incredible new World record.With a full slate of pro meets and marathon majors coming up, Cami, Marley & John also break down some of the biggest storylines heading into the Spring, including which Canadian's to keep an eye on along the road to the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo this summer.
It's been nearly two months since Paris 2024, but athletes who have spent years training for the Games are still processing what happened there. Today we're talking with Canadian race walker Evan Dunfee about his Paris 2024 experience. Paris was Evan's third Olympics and marked a radical shift in his race schedule--for the first time his marquee event--the 50K walk--was off the program, and he'd be racing the 20K as well as the race walk mixed relay, a new event for the Olympics. We've talked with Evan before about the change in race distances, but how did it turn out? Evan joins us again to break down his 5th place finish in the 20K, which, if you loved our Paris 2024 Toilet Talk segments, this also has something for you. But in all seriousness, Evan's experience is a story of adaptation, perseverance and dealing with a situation you can't control. Be sure to follow Evan on Insta and X! In Paris 2024 news, the Olympic Rings are no longer on the Eiffel Tower, but will they make a comeback? Jessica Long responds to the bullying situation at the Paralympics.

When we think of athletes being professionals, we often think of the big bucks that are in major sports. But for most Olympic and Paralympic sports, the pot of money is pretty small and that's because the National Governing Bodies (NGBs) behind them are running on shoestring budgets. On this episode we talk with Ramsey Baker about the challenges small NGBs face and how they think about sponsorship and broadcast rights in working to increase their budgets. Ramsey is a SVP at Aggregate Sports, a consulting firm that helps NGBs find sponsors and broadcast partners. Prior to joining Aggregate Sports, Ramsey spent 18 years at US Figure Skating in various leadership roles including Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Director. Also, a doping case has rocked the swimming world. The World Anti-Doping Agency just confirmed that 23 Chinese swimmers tested positive for TMZ ahead of Tokyo 2020, but took those positives to be inadvertent and dismissed the cases. However, this has many up in arms. We have plenty of news from Paris 2024, including: More hospitality houses An installment of our new medal-payment novela, in which the Association of Summer Olympic International Federations is furious with World Athletics (get your popcorn for this one!) Intel has an number of AI initiatives ready for Paris A Russian modern pentathlete wants to go neutral, and gets a rude awakening NBC will give some athlete parents heart monitors so TV viewers can see their reactions Paris police have cleared out another group of refugees In our visit to TKFLASTAN, it's been a slow week, but race walker Evan Dunfee has some great news!

Stop Me… Ep96 - 2020 Olympic Medalist Evan Dunfee On Tokyo Memories (12 27 '22) by Todd Hancock
#Olympian #councilor #medalist #Happy #healthy #fulfilledlife Thanks for tuning in to watch and listen to Evan Dunfee a highly successful, inspiring world class athlete and aspiring politician. This was a special podcast episode with the Canadian Olympian Evan Dunfee. Evan developed a passion for sport and in particular long distance race walking at the age of ten. He set a goal to become an Olympian at that young age and accomplished that years later. He then much to his surprise became one of the stories of the games because of his selfless act of sportsmanship. When Evan finished 4th and just out of the medals and then was awarded 3rd place after a review the country celebrated. That celebration was short lived as he was then subsequently stripped him of that medal and he decided to not appeal that decision. You have to watch and listen to his story around those events. Eventually Evan continued his athletic pursuit and has travelled the world and continued his goal of being the best in the world at something. He won races and was on the podium at others and then finally got a chance at redemption at the Olympics and was able to get onto the podium and celebrate a bronze medal! His story is inspirational and heartwarming because his passion and hard work have created a happy, healthy and fulfilled life so far! Evan was born and raised in the city of Richmond, BC Canada and in training has walked over 50,000 KM(over 31,00 Miles) in this community. He gained a new perspective of this community when the pandemic hit and he had an opportunity to live stream the political meetings in Richmond. He got inspired to make a difference and decided to throw his hat in the ring and run or in his case walk for a seat as a city councilor. He is in the last week of his campaign and joined us to discuss this pursuit and speak about his athletic accomplishments! Thanks Evan for your valuable time and energy we really appreciate it. Thank you to all of our loyal viewers and listeners for watching and listening to this great episode, For more great episodes and sports content go to our website at www.completesportsmedia.com Our parent site is www.completemedianetwork.com and you can find something there to interest you.

Evan Dunfee is one of Canada's most decorated Track and Field athletes: he has won medals at the Pan Am Games, the World Championships, and the Olympics. But the one piece of hardware that has eluded him is a medal from the Commonwealth Games. Evan has spent his career as a 50K race walk specialist, so when World Athletics announced that it would be dropping the 50K and replacing it with a 35K distance, Evan was crushed. He thought his career might be coming to a close. But then he surprised himself with not only a 6th place finish at this summer's World Championships, but also a Commonwealth Games gold medal, and Games and Canadian record in the 10K walk one week later.Follow Evan Dunfee HERELearn more about The Shakeout Podcast and Canadian Running Magazine on our website https://runningmagazine.ca/category/shakeout-podcast/Follow The Shakeout Podcast on Twitter https://twitter.com/ShakeoutPodcastInstagram https://www.instagram.com/shakeoutpodcast/ andFacebook https://www.facebook.com/theshakeoutpodcast/Subscribe to our weekly show on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-shakeout-podcast/id1224828899243

Also on tap, we've got news from TKFLASTAN, including updates on Evan Dunfee, Dawn Harper Nelson, Connor Fields and Stephanie Roble. In our Beijing 2022 update, the Olympic Flame is officially lit and has traveled to Beijing, though not without controversy. The Torch Relay, of which there are few details, includes the inspiring slogan "Health, Joy and Energy." Alison is not impressed by Jill's attempts to spruce that up. And we have news from Milan-Cortina 2026, in which we are completely unsurprised to learn of venue changes due to cost containment needs. The Games aren't even for another 4+ years, but maybe it's a good thing that they've figured this out now. Thanks so much for listening, and until next time, keep the flame alive!

Have you ever wondered how the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) decides what substances are banned in professional sport? Or what it's like to get tested for prohibited substances? In this episode of Raw Talk, we interview experts on anti-doping and the use of performance enhancing drugs. James Fitzgerald explains the many tools that WADA uses to combat doping in sport, from dried blood spot analysis to machine learning. We also speak to two Canadian Olympic athletes, Evan Dunfee and Maddy Kelly, about their experiences getting tested, what kinds of pressures they felt to perform, and the tainted beef controversy. Lastly, Dr. Dean St. Mart tells us about the health risks of steroids - in the context of bodybuilding - from androgen receptors to “blasting and cruising”, and explores whether its possible to use such performance enhancing drugs safely. We hope you enjoy the expertise and diverse perspectives our fascinating guests shared with us on this week's episode.

Evan Dunfee (Tokyo 2020 Race Walk Bronze Medalist) - THE FULL 22 MIN CONVO by Todd Hancock
Evan Dunfee walks us through his step-by-step journey from premature birth to being a sore loser to creating an iconic moment of Olympic sportsmanship. He shares why missing out on the podium in Rio taught him he doesn't need medals to be successful, and how five years later, he finally earned the bronze medal in Tokyo. With his uniquely strong voice and self-deprecating humour, Evan shares his conflicted feelings about the Olympic movement, just how far he walks in a week, why he values the solitude of a long training walk, and why you don't want to take his diet advice.

Evan Dunfee is the fastest walker I know! He wanted to go to the Olympic Games from the age of 9 and started race walking at the age of 10. At the 2016 Olympics he place 4th in the 50km race walk, then was upgraded to third after a disqualification from a Japanese racer, but then an appeal reinstated the disqualified racer and our guest let the results stand keeping 4th place. He’s a Pan American Games gold medalist, World Athletics world championship bronze medalist, a 2x World Race Walking Team Championship silver medalist with his Canadian Teammates and has qualified for the Tokyo Games. We DROP IN with Evan on E. 33.

For many athletes and teams who have yet to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics, the global virus outbreak is spoiling plans and ruining hopes.Qualifying events are being canceled or postponed almost daily, and time is running out for athletes to prove they meet the standard.Rowing was the latest sport to find itself in flux yesterday when it canceled two World Cups, the European Olympic and Paralympic qualifying regatta, and the final Paralympic qualifier. All were to be held in Italy from April 10 to May 10. World Rowing said it wants to relocate the qualifiers and was talking with other countries. It hoped to offer good news next week.For now, the Asia and Oceania qualifying regatta, and the final qualifying regatta are still going ahead on from May 17-19 in Lucerne, Switzerland.On Monday, the International Judo Federation canceled all Olympic qualifiers through April 30, including a Grand Slam and two Grand Prix. Another Grand Prix last weekend, in Morocco, was canceled earlier. Judo qualifying ends on May 25."It is of paramount importance to keep the judo family safe in these difficult times, and also to ensure fair chances for all athletes engaged in the Olympic qualification," the IJF said.Other sports as diverse as weightlifting, swimming and badminton have also been postponed indefinitely or canceled outright.The African weightlifting championships in Mauritius next month were postponed on Tuesday. The Asian champs set a week later in Uzbekistan were canceled last week.Because of the virus, the international governing body is allowing lifters yet to qualify, to register for major qualifying competitions out of their region, such as the European, Pan American or even the Oceania champs.The Badminton World Federation, however, has refused to extend the qualifying period, and noted players from its leading nation, China, have been healthy and passed tests for COVID-19.Badminton has lost three tournaments alone this month in Europe — in Germany, Portugal, and Poland — with the end of qualifying rapidly approaching on April 26.One of its biggest events outside of the world championships, the All England Open, is going ahead on Wednesday in Birmingham.Chinese teams have pulled out of numerous events worldwide, and others like Russia gymnasts teams have cut back their schedules.For most people, the new coronavirus causes only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia.The vast majority of people recover from the new virus. According to the World Health Organization, people with mild illness recover in about two weeks, while those with more severe illness may take three to six weeks to recover. In mainland China, where the virus first exploded, more than 80,000 people have been diagnosed and more than 58,000 have so far recovered.International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach wrote an open letter to athletes last week saying the IOC was working with other sports bodies "to ensure a fair Olympic qualification," but didn't say how it might work."I want to personally thank you for all this flexibility and solidarity, which is the true Olympic spirit," he added.When the virus was still largely confined to China earlier in the year, events were moved — boxing and taekwondo qualifiers to Jordan, basketball to Serbia, triathlon to Spain. Now the little space left in the calendar is vanishing. The Olympics open July 24.When qualifying events do take place, athletes may compete in unequal conditions. Many countries require quarantine for visitors from areas affected by the virus.Endurance athletes in particular are feeling the pinch.Evan Dunfee of Canada is the world championship bronze medalist in the 50-kilometre walk, the longest event on the Olympic athletics program. Athletes need weeks of recovery between races. Rescheduling qualifiers will be of little use, he a...
Evan Dunfee is a top name in the sport of elite race walking, but perhaps more importantly, he is an outspoken advocate for both clean sport and athlete rights. Evan finished an agonizing 4th at the Rio Olympics in the 50K race walk and then came back to earn the coveted bronze medal at the World Championships in Doha in 2019. Kara and Chris interview Evan, and they discuss both experiences including the one thing that made that 4th place finish in Rio particularly satisfying (hint: clean athletes), plus how he prepared for the extremely hot and humid conditions in Doha. We discuss his beginnings in the sport of race walking, which actually started with him as a runner at an early age. Evan gives us a lesson in how race walking - "running with rules" - actually works and how he progressed from a national talent in Canada to an athlete who could compete with the best in the world. Evan holds nothing back as he discusses doping in race walking, the Russian ban, and what can be done to elevate the athlete's voice through all of it. If you know nothing else about Evan Dunfee, then you will want to listen to hear his story about getting kicked out of a competitive venue for yelling doping accusations at an athlete who would later be banned. Evan isn't afraid to tell it like it is, and we could certainly use more athletes like him in the fight for clean sport.
An outsiders view of the coming together of Canadian Olympic race walker Evan Dunfee and CBC sports broadcaster Devin Heroux. I tell my story on how I managed a half marathon. It’s not how you think it went.
In this episode, CSI Pacific Athlete of the Month and Olympic race walker Evan Dunfee joins us to discuss his sporting career. From being a 10 year old with thick glasses, curly hair, and no hand-eye coordination, to being the Canadian record holder in the 10k race walk, Evan has become the best at something he loves to do. Over time, he grasped onto the idea that the process and journey outweighs the rules, and that sport is a safe and unique environment to all. Evan also talks about his community involved with KidSport which helped him reframe his philosophy around sport. He gives us goosebumps when discussing his experience watching fellow Canadians qualify for the Olympics, and what his sport will look like at Tokyo 2020. Trust us, you don’t want to miss this one!
Canadian World Championship medallist Evan Dunfee joins us this week to give us his views on the IOC decision to move the marathons and race walks from Tokyo to Sapporo during the 2020 Olympic Games due to concerns over the temperatures. Evan tweeted a number of observations and factual comments this week about the history of Olympic and World Championship marathon running and tells Anything but Footy why he thinks the decision needs to be looked at again. Evan won bronze in the 50km race walk in Doha at the 2019 World Championships.The IPC World Athletics Championships begin this week in Dubai. We look at how the event will pan out after the success of the staging in London in 2017. There's a run down of the main athletes to watch from home and abroad and we hear from Kare Adenegen and Hollie Arnold who will be representing Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Great Britain has qualified for the Olympic Hockey tournament after both the men and women came through their play off games held in London. Team GB's women won gold in Rio in 2016 memorably but face a huge task to retain that title. There were plenty of British medals at Cycling's World Cup event in Belarus and at Taekwondo's European Championships in Italy.

His athletic achievements are certainly notable; multiple Canadian race walk records, a 4th place in the Rio Olympic 50km race walk, medals from an assortment of international competitions, but what really rounds out the entire person is the energy that Evan has put into different causes, including Kidsport, for who he walked 25km a day for 25 day. It is fair to say that Evan has really elevated the profile of race walking in this country, sometimes wearing his heart on his sleeve, and certainly always showing his true grit. We caught up with Evan this week before he competes at the Canadian Championships in Montreal, from there he is off to Peru to chase a win at the Pan-Am games, and rounding off his season in Doha at the World Champs.
The ketogenic diet, a.k.a. “cutting carbs,” is all the rage in the fitness world. But is it better for you than any other kind of diet? And does it actually make athletes stronger or faster? These questions have been debated for hundreds of years, and every few decades the idea that cutting carbs can unlock your true athletic potential comes back into fashion. Canadian race walker Evan Dunfee was part of the most recent and most rigorous testing of the low-carb high-fat diet, which took him straight to the top of his sport. Just not for the reasons everyone expected.
A conversation with Canadian racewalker, Olympian, Canadian record holder and really nice guy Evan Dunfee.
KidSport is a not-for-profit organization that offers financial assistance to help get and keep kids in sport. Evan Dunfee of Richmond, B.C. is an Olympic race-walker and KidSport ambassador. Throughout October, he's on a mission to raise $25,000 for the organization by walking 25km per day for 25 consecutive days. He's also doing 25 school talks to share his journey through sport and to inspire the next generation of Canadian athletes. In this episode, we chat with Evan about his epic fundraising campaign, and the responsibility he feels to give back. Evan discusses his own journey as an athlete and relives his race at the Rio Olympic Games where he briefly a medalist. We also do a short recap of last weekend's Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon where Cam Levins broke the 43 year old Canadian record.
Talking with Evan Dunfee off the record, a guest on this week’s show, we both agreed that we’re in the middle of an embarrassment of riches in the running world. So many great performances, athletes doing amazing things, we have barely enough time to cover all of the action. Of course, we’re going to try to, but all around, it’s a pretty good problem to have. On this week’s show, as previously mentioned, Evan Dunfee, the 2016 Olympic 50km 4th place race walker, walking 25km a day for 25 days for Kidsport. He talks about the cause, his value as an athlete and a lot more! Also, we’ll chat with Eric Bang, he ran a new personal best in the Chicago Marathon, a scorching 2:19:03, we’ll check in with him to talk about the Toronto running scene, self belief, and the best laid running plans.

Some of you may remember the story of a Canadian race walker in the 2016 Rio Olympics who had a chance to appeal for a bronze medal but instead chose to let his opponent have it. We go into all the particulars of that race but also discuss the realities of training, being an athlete for a living, as well as why Evan is far from done his journey.
What a wild week it has been. The 2017 Canadian Track and Field Championships are all wrapped up for another year, after days of top level action in Ottawa brought to you by the Ottawa Lions and Athletics Canada. I was lucky enough to take a few days in, enjoy the action, listen to some great stories, and package it all up into this file you're currently listening to. This episode doesn’t quite follow the regular format of long form interviews, in fact if I had to describe it, I’d say it’s something like one of those old time christmas variety shows with a ton of surprise cameos along the way. This week, we catch up with Kevin Nault from One Track Mind, Rob Denault and Justyn Knight battle for trivia supremacy...again, Evan Dunfee talks about broadcasting, walking and his place in the world as an athlete, Jeff Tweedle, Corey Bellemore, Rachel Cliff, Chris Winter, they’re all on the show this week.
In this special episode of Off The Podium we talk to Evan Dunfee, the Canadian Olympian whose record breaking 50k Racewalking performance in Rio made him one of the most talked about athletes of the Summer Games. In this interview Evan goes behind the scenes to tell us about how a dramatic "bump" resulted in a flip flopping of appeals over there Bronze medal. We also find out how Evan entered the sport, his memories of Rio, and just what he is doing in Australia for the second winter in a row.
It seems that there are moments in sport that, while rare, find a way of universally resonating. Tying both fans and non fans together, sweeping up even the most apathetic viewer. One that immediately comes to mind is the game winning goal scored in overtime by Sidney Crosby at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, winning the gold medal in front of a nation looking nervously on. Another one, equally significant for me, is from last summer’s olympic games, watching as race walker Evan Dunfee battled for 3rd with about a kilometer left in the 50km race walk event, appearing to give everything he had within himself, walking himself to the verge of collapse, even when the medal was out of reach. Looking back, it’s what I imagine the Greek soldier Pheidippides looked like as he completed his famed journey from the battle of Marathon to Athens. It’s with that imagery, I tell you that Evan joins us on the show this week to talk about training, racing, finding balance and even a little bit of the business side of things.
Bruce Dowbiggin named Evan Dunfee (shown after finishing fourth in the Men's 50km Walk Final during the 2016 Rio Games) as his Canadian athlete of the year.
For fans of Canadian Track and field, this spring has almost been an embarrassment of riches, whether it’s been watching the high flying Shawn Barber pole vault his way into the record books, witnessing Canada’s latest sprint star, Andre De Grasse do his thing in the 100 and 200, or Cam Levins run an expertly executed 10000 to take home the Canadian record. Not to be left out, the women of Canadian track have been doing incredible things as well! On this week’s show we sit down with with Natasha Wodak, Canada’s queen of the 10000. We’ll also chat with elite race walker and clean sport advocate Evan Dunfee about the latest developments doping in athletics, Canada’s place in doping, and his training for the summer season.
