After illness and injury slowed the start to his 2025 season, Kerr showed he's back to full strength with a statement in Miami—winning the 1500m, then dropping a 1:45.01 lifetime best in the 800m to edge Marco Arop by just two points in the overall Slam standings. Melissa Jefferson-Wooden locked up her second Slam title by winning the 100m then coming back for third in the 200m in a lifetime best of 22.15. That was just enough to hold off Gabby Thomas, 18 points to 17.Ackera Nugent looked sharp with a 12.34 season's best in the 100m hurdles, but it only got her third. She made up for it in a big way, bouncing back the next day to run 11.09 in the 100m, sealing the overall short hurdles title in dramatic fashion.Jereem Richards took the long sprints crown with a 19.86 win in the 200m and a 44.32 season's best in the 400m, finishing with 20 points and $100,000 to show for it.From comebacks and personal bests to tight title races, Day 2 in Miami delivered—and the momentum is only building.Catch all the highlights, interviews, and behind-the-scenes moments from Grand Slam Track: Miami as the action continues tomorrow for Day 3.

Julien Alfred recently ran 21.88 in the 200m, which builds off the silver medal she won at the Olympic Games last year in Paris. This time was just 0.02 off her PB of 21.86 set last year and likely indicates she is ready to potentially challenge Gabby Thomas in the event. A potential Julien vs Gabby rivaly has some parallels to the Veronica Campbell-Brown vs Allyson Felix rivalry we saw in the 2000s.-------------------------------Host: Anderson Emerole | ⁠⁠⁠⁠@emeroleanderson on TwitterSUPPORT THE PODCAST

Chris Chavez, Aisha Praught-Leer, Eric Jenkins and Anderson Emerole unpack all the action from Day 2 of Grand Slam Track: Kingston.Kenny Bednarek — Mr. 2x Olympic Medal, now Mr. Slam Champion — swept the short sprints and made it look easy. 100m? Win. 200m? Win. $100k? Yes please. Not bad for a weekend in Jamaica.Gabby Thomas? She didn't just win. She leveled up. A massive 400m PR (49.14!) — behind only a world-leading time from Salwa Eid Naser — locked down the Women's Long Sprints crown. Two races. One trophy. Another six-figure payday.But it wasn't just the Americans cleaning up. Matthew Hudson-Smith of Great Britain edged out the 400m crew to win the Men's Long Sprints Slam. Diribe Welteji outkicked Nikki Hiltz to take the Women's Short Distance title in a spicy 1500m. And oh yeah — there was that absolutely loaded men's 1500 field where 800m Olympic champ Emmanuel Wanyonyi stepped up in distance and beat the entire Paris medal stand.Tonight was the night that we believe fans started to rock with the brand-new league format. Fast, fresh, and fun. It's a modern take on track with real stakes — and real checks — on the line.And it's only Day 2.Let's talk about the money. The medals. The matchups. And why this might be the shake-up the sport's been waiting for.

Overcrowded and understaffed-- that's what critics say has been the state of affairs at Washington's Reagan National Airport -- and Wednesday night it turned deadly. But in the wake of the tragic crash between an army chopper and that American Airlines jet, we've learned of a number of near misses between helicopters and planes. And for family members of those lost, the grief is only beginning to set in. And among the losses are two 11-year-olds who became best friends doing what they loved most - competing in skating events. Plus, Health Secretary nominee RFK Jr. makes no bones about the fact that he was a heroin addict for 14 years. But questions are being raised about some small pouches he was popping in his mouth during his confirmation hearing. And gold medal Olympic track star Gabby Thomas is afraid she's being stalked. Thomas says a group of strange men has been following her when she travels, showing up at airports all over the country. And it turns out she's not the only star athlete saying she's being targeted.

"We go to bed too late, we wake up too early, we don't eat enough, and we have an awesome time." It was a New York City Marathon to remember. It was one of the best weekends of my life, and certainly the greatest weekend of my career. I hosted two live shows (one with Gabby Thomas and New Balance at Carnegie Hall, and one at Volvo Studio Manhattan with Keira D'Amato), I was on the ESPN and ABC broadcasts on race day, and I was on top of the world the entire time.

"I had to trick myself into believing that I could win a gold medal." Career highlight. Life highlight. Welcome to Ali on the Run Show LIVE with Gabby Thomas, presented by New Balance, held at Zankel Hall at Carnegie Hall in New York City, two days before the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon. (What a big sentence!)  Gabby Thomas is a three-time Olympic gold medalist, and an Olympic silver and bronze medalist. She's a 200m specialist with a Harvard University degree in Neurobiology and a Masters in Public Health from the University of Texas. She is one of the starts of the Netflix documentary Sprint, and Sprint Season 2, out next week. Gabby was the grand marshal at this year's New York City Marathon, and, allegedly, she makes a great salad. Biggest THANK YOU to the New Balance team (Kristen, James, Sean, Summer, and so many more), the Mirror team, and the team at Carnegie Hall. This live podcast audio was recorded by Noriko Okabe. The pre-show musicians (enjoy the opening rendition of "Shake It Off!") were Mikhail Romanov and Galina Romanova.

While in Paris, we had the chance to chat with Alexis Ohanian about his latest venture, ATHLOS NYC – a women's track event aiming to inspire the next generation of athletes.

Ohanian emphasizes the potential of track and field to captivate audiences beyond the Olympic Games. The meet has already attracted an impressive roster of athletes competing including world record-holder Faith Kipyegon and Olympic medalist Gabby Thomas. The event promises to be more than just a typical track meet. In addition to featuring top-tier competition and substantial prize money, there will also be a musical performance by Grammy-winning artist Megan Thee Stallion.

After much deliberation, Vice President Kamala Harris announced Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate on Tuesday. The two debuted together later that evening at a joint rally in Pennsylvania. Walz, who's nearing the end of his second term as Minnesota's governor, describes himself as moderate. But during his time in office, he's signed some major progressive legislation into law, like protecting access to abortion and gender-affirming care, expanding gun control, and guaranteeing paid family leave. Larry Jacobs, director of the Center for the Study of Politics and Governance at the University of Minnesota, explains what Walz brings to the Democratic ticket.And in headlines: Hamas named the architect of the Oct. 7 attack on Israel as its new leader, stock markets rebounded after multiple days of losses, and Team USA's Gabby Thomas took home her first gold medal with a win in the women's 200-meter race. Show Notes:Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

In Hour 1… [03:38] WE'RE IN DAY 2 OF AIYUK WATCH It's really like day 62, but GoJo and Golic react to Jerod Mayo channeling his inner Belichick when he spoke about Brandon Aiyuk yesterday after reports say the Patriots have "decided not to explore any further trade possibilities" for Brandon Aiyuk. So there's still a chance for the Steelers, right? [14:55] SIRIANNI'S RELATIONSHIP WITH JALEN HURTS With the 2024 season on the horizon, new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore might help bridge the gap between Hurts and Sirianni. GoJo and Golic discuss the next stress test for the QB-HC relationship as Sirianni coaches for his job and Hurts fights to reclaim MVP form. [22:33] SEC COLLEGE FOOTBALL PREVIEW: BAMA GoJo and Golic ponder five questions going into this season for the SEC, starting with Alabama. Can Kalen DeBoer live up to expectations in Tuscaloosa? He's never lost more than three games in a season, and Alabama is ranked fifth in the preseason coaches poll, their lowest since 2009. [25:49] CAN BRIAN KELLY CONTINUE HIS SUCCESS IN YEAR THREE? Kelly is 33-5 in his third year in his last three spots. Can he replace Daniels and Nabers? Garrett Nussmeier takes over at QB, and the defense needs to improve. LSU gets Alabama and Oklahoma at home, so their schedule is favorable. [28:07] HOW DO TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA FIT IN? Texas and Oklahoma join the SEC, but are they top-tier or second-tier teams this season? While Oklahoma faces a tough road with all five starting OLs gone, their counterparts in Texas are ready to make a playoff bid, adding to what we expect will be a number of playoff-bound SEC teams. [33:53] USMNT CAPTAIN TYLER ADAMS JOINS Bournemouth midfielder and USMNT captain Tyler Adams talks about recovering from back surgery, team dynamics following coming up short in Copa America, and the recent USMNT coaching situation. Adams shares his thoughts on the future of USMNT and the consistency and pride he has in our USWNT as they compete for Gold in the Olympics. [43:45] GOJO & GOLIC GOLD ZONE: OLYMPIC RECAP The USA leads the gold count. Flavor Flav's US Women's water polo team will face Australia in the semis, but GoJo and Golic focus on Women's soccer, moving on to the gold medal game with an extra-time goal against Germany.

“It's bigger than me. It's about my purpose and what I want to show in track and field, what I want to show people who are watching, and the younger generation. It's about that. If you get caught up in, ‘I need to prove to everyone that I belong here and deserve this,' it's not really about that.” 2x Olympic medalist and 2x world medalist Gabby Thomas joins us live in Eugene after defending her Olympics Trials 200m title to secure her spot on another Olympic team. Gabby walks us through the sequence of her 200m rounds, why she decided to go all-in on the 200m for the Olympic Trials, how she handles the pressures of racing, her purpose for competing, her goals for Paris, and how she hopes to inspire the next generation.

A fitting theme for the penultimate day of competition at the 2024 Olympic Trials: it ain't over ‘til it's over. Just ask Monae' Nichols, who sat in fourth place in the final of the long jump competition. Nichols has a 6.97m personal best from 2022, but heading into Trials she was one centimeter shy of the Olympic qualifying standard with a 6.85m season's best. In her last jump of the competition, Nichols came up clutch in multiple ways, jumping her way from 5th into 3rd and improving her season's best to the 6.86m auto-qualifier. The long jump was full of drama, with eventual champion Tara Davis-Woodhall needing a mark in the third round just to keep jumping and eventually pulling out a 7.00m leap in the fifth round to defend her national title. And three different women held the third position in the final round of competition, with Lex Brown starting the round in third at 6.77m, then Quanesha Burks landing a 6.80m jump, and finally Nichols taking the critical final spot with her final effort. There's plenty of discourse around what role field events should play in the sport, and the women's long jump final was a perfect example of why the stakes, drama, and rivalries of the field half of the sport deserve a bigger spotlight. At the top of the ticket, the 200m finals went largely according to form with Gabby Thomas and Noah Lyles defending their U.S. titles in speedy times — 21.81 and 19.53. Both Thomas and Lyles finished third in Tokyo but head into Paris the favorite for gold. Behind Thomas, however, was a wild ride as #2 seed Sha'Carri Richardson was bested by 2019 World silver medalist Brittany Brown and NCAA champion McKenzie Long. Brown is an incredible gamer, making the team with a lifetime best of 21.90, and Long bounced back well after missing the final in the 100m. The 10,000m drama isn't just late-breaking; it may continue after the Trials end as Trials champ Weini Kelati secured her spot but 2nd- and 3rd-placers Parker Valby and Karissa Schweizer will have to await the final world rankings to know if they have a spot on the Olympic starting line. In the women's shot put, Tokyo silver medalist Raven Saunders set their third season's best in the competition after improving from 19.17m to 19.54m in the qualifying round, throwing 19.88m in the first round of the final and 19.90m on the last throw to finish 2nd and secure another spot on Team USA. Trials champ (and 2x World champ) Chase Jackson took home another U.S. title, but it also took her a little extra time and effort as she sat in fourth place halfway through the competition and only secured her Olympic spot with a 20.10m throw in the fourth round. Even when the eventual outcome is the top seed comes out victorious, a lot of anxiety, drama, and excitement can emerge along the way. The beauty of watching any track and field competition from start to finish is being able to take the roller coaster ride along with the athletes, and to feel the rush they feel when the script gets flipped in the final moments.

The track is HOT. Okay, it's actually quite pleasant by Eugene-in-June standards, with temperatures in the high 70s and a pleasant breeze that always seems to be a tailwind in Hayward Field. But the performances laid down last night in Day 8 of the Olympic Trials sure heated up the stadium — even in events where we're not on finals yet. For the first time in history, three men broke 13 seconds in the same 110m hurdles race as Grant Holloway picked up his second national title, made his second Olympic team, and clocked the fourth-fastest performance in history ahead of Freddie Crittenden and Daniel Roberts's lifetime bests. Five men broke 20 seconds in the 200m semifinals led by Noah Lyles's wind-aided 19.60, and another epic battle between Gabby Thomas and Sha'Carri Richardson is set up in the women's 200m final. While middle-distance rounds can sometimes get tactical, they sure didn't tonight. It took 4:05.36 to make the final of the women's 1500m, and the “heavy hitters” heat did not disappoint with Nikki Hiltz making a statement with a 4:01.40 win and five finishes at 4:02.14 or faster. The 1500m final will be absolutely stacked, and in the mixed zone competitors were suggesting that it may make times well under 4 minutes just to make the team. In the men's 800m, it's clear that qualifying for the Games in the 1500m has lifted a weight off Hobbs Kessler's shoulders, as he seems to be absolutely elated in each round of racing and led all semifinal qualifiers with a huge personal best of 1:43.71. Kessler skipped the 1:44s entirely as his PB heading into this weekend was 1:45.07. It's now officially the weekend and, bittersweetly, our final two days of action, so make sure you don't miss any of these incredible competitions over the last few finals. If we've learned anything form the action we've seen so far, we're in store for something very, very fast in multiple events.
