But we try! In this show, we look at the Nutella doping defence of an Italian biathlete. We discuss the dramatic performance of favourite Ilia Malinin, who confessed to "traumatic thoughts" before his ill-fated free-skate performance in Milan.There was no scoring controversy in that men's figure skating programme, but there have been in other events - Ice Dance and Big Air were affected by allegations of nationalistic bias, and then in the moguls, there was tie for gold, leading Ross to wonder about the credibility of a scoring system that uses subjective scoring to produce a tie down to the 1/100th of a point. Just share the gold, we reckon!One athlete who has had no problems, either with pressure or opponents, is Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo, now the most decorated Winter Olympian ever, and basically unbeatable in shorter races. Can he deliver the 50km too? Another who has delivered on the promise is Jordan Stolz, though he was denied the 1500m speed skating gold. Reports of his cycling process have led to speculation that he could have a great career in cycling, should he fancy it. We discuss the barriers to that transition, and wonder how he might go about it.Away from the Games, there's an indoor world record in the 800m, which augurs well for Keely Hodgkinson's longer term aspirations of the outdoor World Record, and which puts Femke Bol's aspirations into perspective. The head to head rivalry may be a season or two away - we explain why Bol needs more than a single season.And Finally, we return to the snow, where Ski Mountaineering made its debut at the Olympics and left us feeling considerably underwhelmed and disappointed in the structure of the event.LinksThe Nutella defense - report on Rebecca Passler's doping caseThe CAS 'non-decision' on Passler's case, but with a few details of what was being argued in her defenceA New York Times article on Ostarine and accidental doping ($ paywalled)The research paper that arose out of the "sweat contamination" defence against an ostarine positive testArticle on Malinin's free skate dramaDavid Epstein's article on Malinin and chokingJordan Stolz the cyclist: An article discussing his prospects on two wheelsHodgkinson's 800m World Indoor Record Hosted on Acast.

The conversation continues on Discourse, for our Science of Sport Supporters. Join now with a small monthly pledge for access to the best sports science discussion community aroundIn the Spotlight this week, we revisit a recurring theme to explore whether a paper claiming no advantage for males who identify as women has any validity, and we cover some news from the world of sport and health.17:31 Our main focus is on a systematic review, published last week, claiming that evidence suggests no physical differences and thus no sporting advantages in trans identified males. We explain why the paper is misleading, and how the authors and journal ignored very obvious flaws in the research to arrive at their concussion.1:31 We also discuss an interview given by Imane Khelif in which the Algerian boxer confirms what was already widely known about male advantage, as well as some surprising details about suppressing testosterone, and defiance and denial about male advantage.36:44 In sports action, Femke Bol made an 800m debut indoors - we discuss the performance and what it tells us of her ceiling.43:20 Serena Williams is making a return, but appeared in a Superbowl halftime advertisement to promote ozempic for weight loss, which triggered a wave of criticism and fear about the displacement of exercise, diet and responsibillty for weight loss. We consider the arguments.50:52 Continuous glucose monitors are in the spotlight, after a range were recalled for providing inaccurate data, which has lead to death and injury in people misled by dodgy data. We discuss the matter in the context of how wearables have to, at a minimum, provide accurate information when decision making will change on the basis of that information.And finally, a Lance Armstrong movie is imminent, and Hollie Davidson referees a Six Nations match at the weekend. We end with brief thoughts.LinksThe systematic review on transgender womenA previous systematic review, minus the meta-analysis, that reaches the opposite conclusion by focusing on non cross-sectional researchThe Imane Khelif interviewThe Serena Superbowl AdvertStory on the recall of continuous glucose monitorsHollie Davidson interview ahead of her Six Nations debut this weekend Hosted on Acast.

Femke Bol made her 800m debut. What did we think? Grand Slam Track's bankruptcy plan will pay the athletes nearly everything they are owed, but vendors only 1.5%. Plus: Why track and field will never be popular year-round (and why that's okay), USATF Outdoor Championships are coming to New York for the first time since 1991, and Robert shares his thoughts on ski jumping regulations that you won't believe. The guys also preview this weekend's stacked meets including the ASICS Sound Invite featuring Cole Hocker vs. Sam Ruthe in the mile and Cooper Lutkenhaus in the 800m, answer listener emails, and debate whether cross country running belongs in the Winter Olympics.
In aflevering 217 van FC Mediacircus duiken we weer diep in de wereld van sport, media en fenomeen-denken. Van ESPN-Seinfeld vibes tot existentiële sportjournalistiek. Een talkshow about nothing? Dat leek Bas wel iets, maar hoe ging dat gesprek bij ESPN? Verder vragen we ons af wat er aan de hand is met de coaches. Ze vinden alle geweldig, maar klopt dat wel? En waarom is dat Studio Olimpico zo saaaai? Dat heeft alles te maken met een boodschappenlijst. We bellen met Arjan Schouten; de fenomeenschrijver zelf over Jutta, in het rijtje na Max Verstappen en Femke Bol. Wanneer is iemand eigenlijk een fenomeen? Bij The Washington Post heffen ze de sportredactie op, maar denken ze daar na over een nieuw plan? De ESPN-documentaire over Pelle die toch de stad op zijn kop zette.

Today is the news segment, which covers:3:02 A look back at the New York City Marathon, won by Kenyans Hellen Obiri in a course record, and Benson Kipruto in a photo finish. We talk pacing micro-adjustments, late end spurts and misjudged fatigue and sprint finishes17:44 Joe Klecker ran a 2:10 in NYC, but caught our eye because he planned to take in 175 g per hour of carbs in the form of almost 3 L of fluid. An insanely high intake, but one that he discussed in a recent podcast with The Coffee Club. We talk about that strategy, his experience of it, and how it fits in the new carbohydrate paradigm35:22 WADA are making moves to consider banning Ozempic and drugs like it. Gareth and Ross discuss whether WADA are over-reaching, or whether they need to pay attention to the possible impact of the weight loss drug in sport, with Ross expressing doubts that it has long term performance benefits given how it works44:53 Elite athlete Laura Hottenrott recently raised concerns about the frequency of blood testing doping controls she has been subjected to. We discuss whether that concern is legit, and whether performance might be harmed as a result of frequent blood sampling for doping control?53:00 Gareth wonders how you could go about establishing who the greatest sporting nation in the world are? We discuss how you might weight sporting events and figure out who the ultimate all-round sporting champion is57:27 Gareth's gears are grinding at the short short list for women's track athlete of the year - Femke Bol and Sydney McLaughlin Levrone, neither of whom had the seasons that Melissa Jefferson Wooden or Beatrice Chebet had.

Support us on DiscourseAs Gareth mentioned, Discourse is our "sponsorship", our sole source of income. But it's way more than that - it's a community of experts and enthusiasts who share knowledge on everything sports science related. To become part of that, become a Patron of the site and join the conversationShow notesThis week on Spotlight, we dive DEEP into the world of physiology, pacing, fatigue and the brain. Using some enthralling races from Kona and Chicago at the weekend, and your Discourse questions and comments, we explore how pacing 'errors' happens, and the physiological consequences of those mistakes. We kick off of with our Discourse Digest segment (00:00) and news that Femke Bol will take a swing at the 800m next year. An exciting development, but what will it involve in terms of training and tactics, and what can we expect from the Dutch star?We then move on to the Chicago Marathon (15:56), won by Jacob Kiplimo, emerging as a real star of the Marathon. His success contained a very specific type of "failure" though, as he was on course to break the World Record right up to 35km, and then...physiology hit. Ross explains how fragile pacing is for elite marathoners, and why physiology collected on its 'loan' for Kiplimo. Another physiological "failure" happened in the Kona Ironman (29:26) where Lucy Charles-Barclay and Taylor Knibb raced so aggressively that they first rode and then ran each other to the point of proverbial physiological destruction. We explore how pacing in the context of a warm day caused those dramatic scenes.In Centre Stage (44:57), it's all about the carbs. Tim Noakes has a paper arguing that you need only 10g/h of glucose during exercise. He uses his "Central Governor" model to explain how the brain is monitoring and regulating blood glucose level to protect the brain, such that the 90g per hour or more being consumed by elites is wasteful and unnecessary, part of an 'old model'. We don't see it the same way, and Ross explains concepts of regulation of performance by the brain, a subject he did his PhD thesis on. We discuss heat, altitude, and fuel, to unpack how the truth behind fatigue, performance and pacing regulation, unlocking more insight on those pacing implosions in Chicago and Kona.In Ross Replies (1:06:59), listener Ian asks a great question about using data from a specific test where you lie down then stand up, and use HR to tell you how recovered you are. Ross explains why that test exists, its limitations, and offers tips for how to make more of data, while avoiding some traps.And Finally (1:21:31), we see again that cycling is allergic to the truth, Gareth learns the truth about NZ Rugby Representation, and we tip our hats to Natalie Grabow.LinksA race report from that dramatic Kona women's raceThe full Taylor Knibb statementThe Noakes TweetRoss' PhD thesis on Anticipatory RegulationArticle on orthostatic testing for HR and HRVThe Six who Sat podcast that Gareth mentioned on the show Hosted on Acast.

What. A. Day. Uganda's Jacob Kiplimo and Ethiopia's Hawi Feysa unleashed two of the fastest marathons in history in Sunday's Chicago Marathon. Kiplimo's 2:02:23 makes him the seventh-fastest man ever and he did it in only his second career marathon. Feysa's 2:14:56 announced her arrival as one of the five fastest women of all time with a perfectly paced negative split.Behind the fireworks, storylines kept coming: Kenya's Amos Kipruto and Alex Masai rounded out the podium, while Conner Mantz lit up home soil fans with a North American record of 2:04:43. On the women's side, Megertu Alemu and Magdalena Shauri joined Feysa in a flurry of personal bests. It was a good day to run fast.

Let's quickly breakdown everything that went down in the sprints, hurdles and jumps at the 2025 Monaco Diamond League-------------------------------Host: Anderson Emerole | @emeroleanderson on TwitterSUPPORT THE PODCAST
This week, Chris Chavez and Preet Majithia unpack: Rabat Diamond League Highlights:— Beatrice Chebet drops 8:11.56 in the women's 3000m, the second-fastest time in history and maybe the clean world record. She won by 15+ seconds.— In an absolutely stunning upset, Jonah Koech wins the men's 1500m in 3:31.43, running a 7-second PB in his Diamond League debut. Went from 13th to 1st on the last lap.— Germany's Frederik Ruppert nearly breaks the European steeplechase record with a shocking 8:01.49 behind Olympic champion Soufiane El Bakkali, who ran a world-leading 8:00.70, who is rounding into form.— Tshepiso Masalela continues his rise, beating Olympic champ Emmanuel Wanyonyi with a world-leading 1:42.70 in the 800m. He is the real deal.— Femke Bol extends her Diamond League win streak with a 52.46 in the 400m hurdles — her fastest-ever season opener. Sound Running Track Fest Highlights (Los Angeles):— Olympic champ Athing Mu returns to racing, placing 2nd in a tactical 1500m (4:10.70), showing signs of progression.— Mexico's Eduardo Herrera steals the show with a 12:58.57 5000m to break Arturo Barrios' outdoor national record, closing in a blistering 57.38.— Jake Wightman, in his first race without his father coaching him, takes the men's 1500m in 3:35.26 — a controlled, confident return to form.— NCAA standout Klaudia Kazimierska clocks 4:03.26 to become the third-fastest collegian ever in the women's 1500m.— Sage Hurta Klecker wins the women's 800m in 1:59.02 and is in a good spot for this point in the season. Mark English wins the men's race in 1:44.75.+ More takeaways and thoughts in the show.Hosts: Chris Chavez | @chris_j_chavez on Instagram + Preet Majithia | @preetmajithia on InstagramSUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Olipop is a prebiotic soda that tastes like a throwback to your favorite childhood drinks, but it's loaded with benefits that your body will thank you for.

Between the Rabat Diamond League, Zagreb Continental Tour, Pure Athletics Sprint meet and a ton others, there were so many high quality performances from athltes around the world this past weekend. Let's take a look at a few of the notable results, specifically in the 100m, along with a quick highlight of Femke Bol's 400mH opener.-------------------------------Host: Anderson Emerole | @emeroleanderson on TwitterSUPPORT THE PODCAST
Today's podcast features Laurent Meuwley. Laurent is the Head Coach for sprints, hurdles, and relays for the Netherlands. A former Swiss national coach and European Athletics Coach of the Year, he's known for guiding world-class athletes like Femke Bol and Dutch relay teams, pioneering the “Flyers vs. Diesels” sprint-type analogy and his comprehensive approach to training. Often in sprinting and speed training education, we get a small piece of the equation based on our social media algorithms or our immediate training culture. To fully understand speed training, we must look at both speed and environmental coaching concepts that span cultures. On today's podcast, Laurent discusses speed building on the level of the weight room, overspeed, speed endurance, and individual training factors. Laurent also talks about building a relay-based culture and a powerful training environment, along with many more nuances of building elite sprinters.

And those are based on a test they do called the tensomeography test, where we check all the muscles individually and see how fast or slow they are, how strong or weak they are, how quickly they react, they can be activated or not." - Laurent Meuwly (13:14) "Because a lot of strength program are thought in terms of which muscles are specifically used for the movement. But we also have to think in which kind of muscle contraction, what kind of Muscle contraction is then used and for different muscle groups it's a different contraction. It might be concentric for some, eccentric for others, isometric for some muscles. So in the specific work this needs to be taken into account." - Laurent Meuwly (16:37) "If I take a hamstring exercise, when someone has struggled to activate the hamstrings quick enough, they might have an exercise where they are standing, laying on their shoulders up, one leg on the skateboard, the other leg in the air and they have to bring the skateboard back and forth under their butt as fast as possible." - Laurent Meuwly (22:07) "The propulsion phase is really important in running and especially in sprinting." - Laurent Meuwly (23:43) "The individualization in the gym is more to the way athletes are reacting in terms of hypertrophy. Some athletes would go a bit quicker away from max strength exercises, hypertrophy to be more in a velocity-based training, more in power than in strength development." - Laurent Meuwly (33:00) "I think in Europe we are using overspeed quite more than in the US at least in track and field, I would say every 10 to 14 days." - Laurent Meuwly (42:20) "A “flyer”, an athlete who is more speed based needs to be fast. And because speed is his or her strength, they also are going to recover from speed or even strength or whatever stimulates highly the nervous system quicker than athletes who are more endurance based and who are less talented for speed." - Laurent Meuwly

Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone broke the world record en route to Olympic gold in the women's 400m hurdles and Tara Davis-Woodhall claimed gold in the long jump. In tonight's edition of Torch Talk, the team breaks down... – Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone won her second Olympic gold in the women's 400mH and broke the world record for the sixth time, running 50.37. She is the first woman to ever win back-to-back Olympic golds in this event. Anna Cockrell set a huge PB to upset Femke Bol for silver. Bol settled for bronze in 52.15. – Letsile Tebogo upset Noah Lyles and Kenny Bednarek to win gold in the men's 200m, running an African record of 19.46. It's the first time the 200m Olympic crown has ever been won by an African man. Bednarek won silver for the second Games in a row and Lyles took home bronze. After the race, Lyles revealed he had tested positive for COVID earlier in the week. – Grant Holloway finally got an Olympic gold to go with his three world titles.

Daniel Roberts beat out Rasheed Broadbell by .003 seconds to win silver, making it another 1-2 for the U.S. – Tara Davis-Woodhall won the women's long jump competition with a best mark of 7.10m, her first global title outdoors.

Chris Chavez, Anderson Emerole and Paul Hof Mahoney recap the Monaco Diamond League, which is always one of the best meets of the year and the 2024 edition certainly did not disappoint with a women's 2000m world record and the meet's annual fast 1500m. – Jess Hull Breaks The 2000m World Record – Jakob Ingebrigtsen Makes A Statement With 3:26.73 Personal Best – Rai Benjamin Takes Down Karsten Warholm, Alison Dos Santos In Olympic Preview – Djamel Sedjati Is The Olympic 800m Favorite – Quincy Hall Moves To No. 1 In The World This Year, No. 9 U.S. All-Time + More Plus: World champion Femke Bol ran 50.95 to break her own European record in the 400m hurdles at the Resisprint La Chaux-de-Fonds meeting in Switzerland. Is the showdown with Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone on? Host: Chris Chavez | @chris_j_chavez on Instagram Host: Anderson Emerole | @atkoeme on Instagram SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS
Did you miss us?! The U.S. Olympic Trials are back and better than ever in the second half of the 8-day program, with incredible drama, upsets, and underdog stories across the board. The race of the day (and perhaps the week?) was the women's steeplechase, where a fast early pace and a topsy-turvy final lap ended with a whole slew of personal bests and rewriting of the record books. Tokyo Olympian Val Constien ended up on top thanks to a phenomenal final 400m, running 9:03.22 to PR by 11 seconds and land at #3 on the U.S. all-time list. Constien had ACL surgery last year and after a long road back is better than ever. We got our first peeks at the 400m hurdles crew, and the main takeaway from the first round is that Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone and Rai Benjamin are looking like world beaters out for an easy jog. McLaughlin-Levrone in particular shut it down entirely over the final two laps and still ran 53.07, the third-fastest performance in the world this year behind her own season's best and Femke Bol's world lead. Speaking of first looks, Erriyon Knighton doesn't seem to have missed a step as he ran his first 200m in four months, cruising through the first round with a 20.15 just behind Noah Lyles's 20.10 in an earlier heat. And a stacked final is set for the 5000m, where reigning U.S. champ Abdi Nur takes on two of the three members of Team USA in the 10,000m, the 1500m Trials champ, and two NCAA champs. The middle-distance rounds will continue to get more and more cutthroat, with the women's 1500m featuring Elle St. Pierre, Heather MacLean, Cory McGee, Emily MacKay, Elise Cranny, Nikki Hiltz, Sinclaire Johnson, and more heading to the semis and Olympians Bryce Hoppel and Clayton Murphy looking ready to once again do battle in the 800m.
Recapping all of the biggest results from the Edwin Moses Legends Meet, Oslo Diamond League, Stockholm Diamond League and Racers Grand Prix. Highlights and Topics Include: – World Athletics officially announced the 2026 global championship that they've been teasing for a while. It will be called the World Athletics Ultimate Championship and is offering up $10M in prize money with $150,000 going to the winners of each respective event. Think of it as a more compact World Championships – semis and finals for the track events / straight finals for the field events with more money and over less days. The inaugural version of the championships will be three evening sessions from Sept. 11 through Sept. 13, 2026 in Budapest. It will be every two years after that. Read more here: https://citiusmag.com/articles/world-athletics-ultimate-championship-2026-what-you-need-to-know – Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone is back over hurdles and looks like she never left with the easiest-looking 52.70 in Atlanta. Anderson was on-site and will give us a report of what he took away from the meet. Read more here: https://citiusmag.com/articles/bobby-kersee-explains-why-sydney-mclaughlin-levrone-doesnt-race-more – The Oslo and Stockholm Diamond Leagues took place so we also got to see Femke Bol open up with a 53.07. Mondo Duplantis gave his world record a scare again. Jakob Ingebrigtsen dove for the win in 3:29.74. The ageless wonder of Hagos Gebriwhet went 12:36.73. Shericka Jackson started looking like herself a bit more with a win in Stockholm. Oslo Takeaways: https://citiusmag.com/articles/bislett-games-oslo-diamond-league-recap-2024 Stockholm Takeaways: https://citiusmag.com/articles/stockholm-diamond-league-2024-recap-analysis – Over in Jamaica, we finally got the hot times to the 100m that we've been hoping for. Julien Alfred went 10.78, which is the fastest time by a pro this year. Extra fireworks on the men's side as Jamaica's Oblique Seville took down world champion Noah Lyles 10.82 to 10.85. This is getting good. Host: Chris Chavez | @chris_j_chavez on Instagram Host: Anderson Emerole | @atkoeme on Instagram SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS
