Michael Phelps BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Michael Phelps continues to make headlines, shifting the spotlight from Olympic pools to golf greens. Just this week, GolfPost and the PGA TOUR released a new video showing Phelps displaying impressive golf yardages, hinting at real potential in his athletic crossover and sparking widespread curiosity about whether his legendary training regimen will carry him to new heights in the golfing world. Sports fans and insiders are abuzz over his intense focus as he makes this transition, with many noting the competitive fire and discipline visible in his golf routines.Adding sizzle to the sporting scene, Phelps made a public appearance at the World Wide Technology Championship 2025 in Cabo, where Getty Images caught him smiling and concentrating on the course, teeing off alongside some of the world's best. These shots, circulating on social media, have driven a surge of interest and supportive commentary from longtime fans and the golf community, who seem to relish each glimpse of the aquatic icon mastering a new domain.In another meaningful chapter, Michael Phelps recently used his platform for a deeply personal message. This month, Sportskeeda highlighted his advocacy around men's mental health, with Phelps posting a powerful Instagram story for Men's Mental Health Month, urging men to embrace vulnerability and self-care. He reminded his millions of followers: "Men cry. Men have trauma... Men deserve support," and signed off with his mantra "Mental plus physical health equals superhero." This evolving role as a mental health advocate, shaped by his own battles with depression—openly shared since retirement—continues to build his legacy beyond sport.On the home front, Good Morning America covered heartfelt family milestones. Phelps and his wife Nicole recently celebrated their youngest son Nico's first birthday, sharing joyful photos from the party and recalling their family adventures at last summer's Paris Olympics. Their openness about family life, particularly Phelps' efforts to encourage emotional intelligence and communication in his four sons, frequently shines in his interviews and social media posts, endearing them to a new generation of fans.Professionally, Phelps' commitment to innovation and mentorship was underscored at the recent Goldman Sachs 10000 Small Businesses Summit in Washington D.C. Bdaily reports he appeared alongside figures like Michael Bloomberg and Martha Stewart, sharing his experience as an entrepreneur and continuing his work in philanthropy, swimming, and wellness. This blend of public persona—athlete, advocate, entrepreneur, and family man—keeps Phelps in the headlines and cements his influence in sports and beyond.Finally, the swimming world mourned a recent loss as reported by People and Team USA, with Phelps publicly honoring his longtime Olympic massage therapist Brian Campbell, whose support spanned two decades. The swimming community, led by Phelps' tribute, reflected on Campbell's impact, a poignant reminder of how Phelps' legacy is interwoven with those behind the scenes. As social media amplifies every move, headline, and heartfelt gesture, Michael Phelps remains a dynamic and inspirational figure in and out of the spotlight.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Conner and Kylie Mantz are redefining what it means to chase big dreams as a team.They're two runners with one purpose–moving stride for stride through life.Conner Mantz has become the new standard-bearer for American marathoning. After winning the 2024 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials and placing 8th at the Paris Olympics (2:08:12), he stunned the running world in 2025–running 2:05:08 for 4th place at Boston, winning the Beach to Beacon 10K in a course record time of 27:26, and setting the American marathon record of 2:04:43 at the Chicago Marathon. His career arc, which was shaped by BYU coach Ed Eyestone's patient approach, reflects eight years of steady growth from NCAA champion to global contender.Kylie Mantz, meanwhile, has forged her own remarkable path. A latecomer to competitive running, she joined BYU's women's distance program in 2025 and quickly ran 34:57 for 10,000m and 16:49 for 5000m–astonishing progress for someone who didn't run track in high school. Her joy-driven approach, grounded in curiosity and consistency, mirrors Cennor's faith in long-term development.Their parallel journeys (Conner's disciplined pursuit of podiums and records; Kylie's joyful rise into Division I competition) intersect in a shared belief that running is both art and anchor. Together, Conner and Kylie Mantz are proving that love, faith, and discipline can fuel world-class performance.Tap into the Conner and Kylie Mantz Special.  If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review! I would also appreciate it if you share it with your friend who you think will benefit from it. Comment the word “PODCAST” below and I'll DM you a link to listen. If this episode blesses you, please share it with a friend!S H O W  N O T E S-The Run Down By The Running Effect (our new newsletter!): https://tinyurl.com/mr36s9rs-Our Website: https://therunningeffect.run -THE PODCAST ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClLcLIDAqmJBTHeyWJx_wFQ-My Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/therunningeffect/?hl=en⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-Take our podcast survey: https://tinyurl.com/3ua62ffz

Michael Phelps BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Michael Phelps has made headlines this week not for his accomplishments in the pool, but for his outspoken commentary on the landscape of professional swimming and his very public support for athletes maintaining their integrity. According to Sportskeeda, Phelps recently praised Australian world champion Kyle Chalmers for rejecting a multimillion-dollar offer to compete in the upcoming Enhanced Games, an event allowing athletes to use performance-enhancing substances with few restrictions. On Instagram, Phelps called Chalmers' decision “well said mate,” supporting the notion that a sporting legacy matters more than short-term financial gain. This backing comes at a time when the Enhanced Games, set for Las Vegas in May 2026, are stirring global controversy in athletics. Chalmers himself revealed the immense financial temptation of a million-dollar prize for breaking world records, contrasting that with the paltry sums paid for previous Olympic achievements, but ultimately resolved to stay true to the sport's traditions.Phelps was also notably critical of USA Swimming's current leadership, venting to Indian news outlets about what he described as “cracks in the operating system” and calling out poor operational controls and weak leadership. He suggested these failures were directly responsible for the American team's disappointing results at the Paris Olympics, their lowest medal haul since 2004. Specifically, Phelps insisted the blame lies squarely on executives rather than athletes, highlighting his role as a vocal elder statesman willing to challenge the system for long-term change.On the domestic front, Michael Phelps' family life was unexpectedly thrust into the spotlight thanks to Nicole Phelps' candid interview on the Between Us Moms podcast, as covered by People. Nicole revealed her emotional journey after finding out she was expecting their fourth child, Nico, last year. She had not planned for another baby and admitted she was initially overwhelmed, even scared to tell Michael. Despite her anxiety, Nicole described Nico as their “bonus baby” and is now grateful for the surprising twist in their family's story. The Phelps family, including Boomer, Beckett, Maverick, and Nico, continue to share snapshots of their life on Instagram, giving fans a rare look behind the poolside fame.On social media, Phelps remains outspoken; his Instagram story about Chalmers made waves in the swimming world and generated active discussion about athlete integrity versus financial opportunities. Separately, a minor controversy swirled after trans swimmer Lia Thomas publicly lashed out at Phelps' statements, questioning his place to judge, according to US Spotlight News. The spat was widely shared on Threads and prompted broader conversation about inclusion and the changing nature of competitive swimming.No confirmed news of business ventures, major public appearances, or partnerships involving Phelps surfaced in reliable financial outlets or corporate bulletins during this period. Recent developments have focused squarely on his public commentary and family narrative, both of which are likely to resonate long-term in the ongoing debates around sportsmanship, equity, and athlete welfare in modern swimming.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Almost 2 years ago to the day Dan Evans and I chatted via Zoom- I was in New York, he in Stockholm. He was ranked around 35 in the world, getting ready to play the Swedish Open. That summer he won Washington, got to a career high 21, and had dazzled the tennis community with his play against Carlitos Alcaraz at the US Open and then again in China. Since that moment he has faced multiple injuries, incredibly difficult draws, and the mere reality of the pro tennis tour, where week in and week out every player, on any given day, is a threat. But he's also had incredible moments mixed into this challenging stretch including a remarkably fun ride in the Paris Olympics with Andy Murray, an epic win in the longest match in US Open history, and just this past grass court season, wins over Tiafoe and Tommy Paul in consecutive weeks. Dan and I had an earnest chat, and he pulled no punches. By going back in time we hit many of the tour's water cooler topics; the quality of this generation, ball quality, surface speeds and the absolute lack of stylistic variety amongst his peers.

In this inspiring episode of Waterpolo Expert Talk, I reconnect with Jessica Gaudreault, goalkeeper of the Canadian women's national team, to explore her remarkable path from the Pan American Games in Toronto to her continued Olympic aspirations. Jessica reflects on the unforgettable experience of competing on home soil, the intensity of playing five games in five days, and how the Pan Ams serve as a “mini Olympics” for North and South American athletes. She also compares the atmosphere of the Paris Olympics to the Pan Ams, sharing insights on what it's like to perform in front of thousands of spectators and how these experiences have shaped her mindset. Beyond competition, Jessica opens up about the realities of resilience and setbacks — including missing the Tokyo Olympic roster — and how she turned that challenge into motivation to reach new personal heights.

At the World Wrestling Championships in Croatia, India's Olympic medallist Aman Sehrawat was shockingly disqualified ahead of his opening bout on September 14. At the official weigh-in before his match, Aman was found to be 1.7kg over the 57kg limit. The Wrestling Federation of India on September 22 served a show-cause notice to Aman, asking his staff to explain his disqualification. This is the third time in just over a year that an Indian wrestler has failed to make weight, beginning with Vinesh Phogat's infamous miss at the Paris Olympics. Neha Sangwan, who is just 18, was the other wrestler to not make weight at the U20 world championships. She was suspended for two years. Why does this keep happening despite the money and resources poured into Indian wrestling? What does it say about the system, and how will this episode affect a young star like Aman Sehrawat?

“I wanted to be calm, relaxed, and confident that I belonged here… Maybe I didn't get the outcome that I wanted, but I hit my goal of being calm, trying to stay low emotion, and float, follow, and relax — all of the words that I said to myself. I'm really proud of how I navigated that race.”Please welcome back to the show – the one and only Nikki Hiltz. And what a year it's been! Just a season after finishing seventh at the Paris Olympics, Nikki stepped onto the line at the World Championships in Tokyo and delivered the best outdoor global finish of their career: fifth in the 1500m. They ran 3:57.08, the top American in the final, and held their own in a race where Faith Kipyegon, Dorcus Ewoi, and Jessica Hull all ran sub-3:56 for medals.Yes, it's easy to get caught up in the medal talk that we pushed throughout the championships. That's what we do as pundits to talk about the sport. But for Nikki, it wasn't about the outcome as much as the process: staying calm, engaged, and believing in their plan lap after lap.That mindset carried them to a performance that showed just how close they are to the world's very best. Today, we talk about the lessons learned, the mantras that kept them grounded, and what it means to chase medals while staying true to the journey.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠Guest: Nikki Hiltz | @nikkihiltz on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠Mentioned in this episode…Listen: Sage Hurta After Finishing 5th In The World Championships 800m Final In 1:55.89 (Third-Fastest American Ever) | Tokyo 2025 Recap + Reflections____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSASICS: The Megablast is the Mega Man of the Blast lineup.

such things. Philippians 4:8 Lap after lap, Katie Ledecky was in a familiar spot during the 1500-meter freestyle race at the 2024 Paris Olympics. For some fifteen minutes, she was far ahead of the rest of the swimmers and alone with her thoughts. What was Ledecky thinking about during the long race? In an interview conducted immediately following her gold-medal-winning performance in which she set a new Olympic record, Ledecky said she was thinking about her training partners and saying their names in her head. Distance swimmers aren’t the only ones who need to focus their minds on the right things. We as believers in Jesus also need to guard our thoughts throughout our faith journey. The apostle Paul encouraged the Philippian church to “rejoice in the Lord,” not be “anxious about anything, but pray about everything (Philippians 4:4, 6). The result? “The peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (v. 7). Jesus, the Prince of Peace, helps put our worries and troubles in perspective. Paul also encouraged believers: “Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things” (v. 8). As we go about our day, let’s be aware of our thoughts. When we see God’s hand in our life, we can count our blessings and worship Him.

Today we are joined by fan favorite Ondine Achampong, a World and European medalist for Great Britain who was a favorite to make the Paris Olympic team before an ACL injury took her out of contention just three months before the Games. Ondine shocked the gymnastics world last season when she worked her way into Cal's beam lineup around 10 months after tearing her ACL—an injury that takes most gymnasts at least a year to recover from. Now, heading into her sophomore season, she's ready to take on an even bigger role for a young and relatively inexperienced Cal team.In this episode, Ondine shares more about her recovery journey, how she handled the uncertainty of the offseason with so many changes, what led her to stay at Cal, and whether a return to elite gymnastics might be in her future.Thank you to our monthly Patreon supporters: Lee B, Cookiemaster, Christa, Happy Girl, Erica S, Semflam, Amy C, Maria L, Becca S, Cathleen R, Faith, Kerry M, M, Derek H, Martin, Sharon B, Randee B, MSU, Kimberly G, Robert H, Lela M, Mara L, Jenna A, Alex M, Mama T, Kelsey, Lidia, Maria P, Alicia O, Cristina K, Bethany J, Diane J, Kentiemac, Marni S, Betny T, Emily C, Cathy D, Lisa T, Libby C, Thiago, Taryn M, Dana B, Jamie S, Chuck C, Je_GL, Kaitlin, Susan P, Katertot, Mallory D, LFC_Hokie, Ella, Debbie, Megan F, Kay, Diane J, Julie B,, Austin K, Jane, Sarah, Amy, Stephen S, Johanna T, Alison S, Kristina T, Abigail W, Becky, Ola S, Jennifer K, Kate M, Claudia, Erin L, Sarah A, Kennedy B, Thomas B, Kihika N, Beth C, Amy, Renee PM, Ryan V, Brandon H, Tyler, Hayley B, Ben S, Kate & Landon, Danielle, ALittleUnderRotated, Dana C, Grace, Pat G , Lexi G, Laura N, Kathy, Katie A, Ruby B,, Róisín, Becca, Megan J, Emily D, Britton, Ry Shep, Reyna G, William A, MB, MJ L, Jackson G, Brittany A, Stella, Ulo F, Noah C, Melissa H, Alexis, William M, Trish, Susie, Leslie G, Catherine B, Karlin, Laura L, Katy S, J'nia G, Kathy M, Kathy S, Okcaro, Caroline P, JD B, Cookiecutter, Ailish D, Wil D, Caroline M, kcmojojojo, Sammy S, Fabio B, & Kerry H! 

✦ Today, it is more important than ever to state, define, and be clear about who you are. To do that, you may have to be bold, upfront, and... frank. To that end, a dynamic group of 11 queer artists, known as Frank, will present a diverse, multifaceted, and self-defining art show entitled "Being Frank: it is because I am." The show is at Ansley Mall from September 14 through the 17, and City Lights Co-Host Jon Goode recently sat down with two of Frank's founding members, artists David Clifton-Strawn and artist Royce Soble. ✦ City Lights Collective members Jasmine Hentschel and EC Flamming, the creatives behind Atlanta's visual art print magazine, "GULCH", want you to get out and engage with the city's art scene. Each week, they spotlight five standout happenings, and today, they'll tell you about Living Walls's 15-year-anniversary "quinceañero" party, an exhibit at Marcia Wood that's sure to excite all you color theorists out there, and Cat Eye Creative's final show opening in their current South Downtown space. ✦ It's never too early to spark a lifelong love of the arts and theatrical performance. To that point, The Alliance Theater's Bernhardt Theater for the Very Young, in partnership with the Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta, is presenting a stage adaptation of "The Birthday of the World," based on the children's book by New York Times Bestseller Dr. Rachel Naomi Remen. The show runs through October 26 and includes two special outdoor performances at the MJCCA's Zaban Park on Sunday, September 14. City Lights Collective Engineer Matt McWilliams recently spoke to creator and director Jonathan Shmidt Chapman about bringing "The Birthday of the World" to Atlanta's youngest theatergoers. ✦ For 20 years, the High Museum of Art has awarded the David Driskell Prize to field-defining contributors in African American Art and Art History. This year, the award goes to Alison Saar, sculptor, installation artist, printmaker, and art scholar, whose sculpture "Salon" welcomed visitors to the 2024 Paris Olympics. The Driskell Prize winner joined WABE arts reporter Summer Evans to share her extraordinary legacy as an artist and scholar. ✦ Our series, "In Their Own Words," tells firsthand stories from our artistic community. This is where they tell us who they are, what they do, what they love, and a few things you might not see coming. What things? Who knows, there's only one way to find out. Today, we highlight comedian Nate Allen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The road to greatness rarely runs smoothly. For Parker Wolfe, the path has twisted through injury, disappointment, and resilience. Over the past year, the NCAA champion, Olympic Trials finalist, and now Nike pro has faced some of the toughest setbacks of his young career.Whether it's a foot injury that threatened to derail his season, or the heartbreak of missing the Paris Olympics, he keeps finding ways to perform.After returning from a spring foot injury, Parker lined up at the 2025 U.S. Championships and finished 6th in the 5,000m (13:28.20). Months earlier, he defended his ACC 5k/10k double, setting a championship record of 13:13.49 in the 5,000m. His PRs—3:34 (1500m), 3:54 (mile), 7:30 (3k), and 13:10 (5k)—back up what the results already show: Parker Wolfe isn't just surviving adversity, he's thriving off it.Parker is here to open the book on his past year: the setbacks that nearly broke him, the mental battles behind the results, and the resilience it takes to chase greatness when nothing goes according to plan.This isn't the story from the headlines. It's the inside look at how setbacks don't define champions—they refine them.In today's conversation, Parker walks me through the past year of adversity, opening the next chapter with NIKE and Coach Mike Smith, his ambtions for his future career, reflecting on his time at UNC, and more. Tap into the Parker Wolfe Special.  If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review! I would also appreciate it if you share it with your friend who you think will benefit from it. Comment the word “PODCAST” below and I'll DM you a link to listen. If this episode blesses you, please share it with a friend!S H O W  N O T E S-The Run Down By The Running Effect (our new newsletter!): https://tinyurl.com/mr36s9rs-BUY MERCH BEFORE IT'S GONE: https://shop.therunningeffect.run-Our Website: https://therunningeffect.run -THE PODCAST ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClLcLIDAqmJBTHeyWJx_wFQ-My Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/therunningeffect/?hl=en⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-Take our podcast survey: https://tinyurl.com/3ua62ffz

“It goes without saying that we want to go for at least a medal and maybe even the gold medal [at the World Championships]. We don't really speak about that; it's just about being at my best level in the final. I would call that our goal. Whatever result is connected to that depends on so many factors and that's why we don't really speak about, ‘We want to be first there,' but more about the whole process.”Every so often, a young runner bursts onto the scene not just with talent, but with a presence that makes you believe you're watching the next big star take shape in real time. Niels Laros is that runner right now. At just 20 years old, the Dutch phenom has gone from a precocious prospect to Diamond League champion and now even being the name on everyone's lips as the favorite for the World Championships in the 1500m in Tokyo.He's rattling off consistent victories this summer, he put together a historic 800m and 5000m double at the European U23 Championships, he had an epic Bowerman mile victory over Yared Nuguse that we haven't forgotten, and most recently, a Diamond League title in Zurich where he unleashed yet another sizzling final 100m in 12.5 seconds to clock a 3:29.20 – a Dutch national record and personal best.Again and again, Laros has shown the defining quality of today's 1500m champions: the ability to close off a fast pace. His final 100m stacks up against anything that we've seen from Josh Kerr or Cole Hocker that they've produced in their gold medal runs.But Laros's story isn't just about times and trophies; it's about timing and arriving in peak form as the global landscape in the 1500m shifts. With Jakob Ingebrigtsen sidelined by injury and his rivals Cole Hocker and Josh Kerr searching for their best in 2025, Laros has positioned himself right now as the man to beat. We talk about his rise, the confidence that comes with winning big races, and what it means to carry the weight of expectations heading into Tokyo.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠Guest: Niels Laros | @niels.laros on Instagram Produced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠Mentioned in this episode…- Paris Olympics men's 1500m final- Zurich Diamond League men's 1500m- Brussels Diamond League men's 1500m- Prefontaine Classic Bowerman Mile____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSNEW BALANCE: The FuelCell Rebel v5 was built to feel fast—and look the part.

This week, Chris Chavez and Preet Majithia dive into the biggest moments from the Silesia Diamond League, recap the NACAC Championships, break down more changes in world rankings, and lots more.Some of the top performances from Silesia include…- In her first 800m in over a year, Olympic champ Keely Hodgkinson picked up right where she left off, clocking a world-leading 1:54.74 to win by nearly two full seconds.- Faith Kipyegon took a strong crack at the highly-suspect world record in the 3000m, and while she fell just short of Wang Junxia's 1993 mark of 8:06.11, her 8:07.04 run was the second fastest performance in history.-Yared Nuguse won the 1500m in 3:33.19, claiming his fourth Diamond League 1500m victory and solidifying his spot in the final where he'll have a shot at a wild card entry to Worlds.-Kishane Thompson turned the tables on Noah Lyles in their first 100m matchup since the Paris Olympic final, leaning at the line to equal the 9.87 meet record, just ahead of Lyles's 9.90 in second. U.S. champ Kenny Bednarek took third in 9.96.-Proving her 10.65 at USAs was no fluke, Melissa Jefferson equaled the meet record with a commanding 10.66 100m victory over the likes of Tia Clayton (10.82) and Marie Ta Lou-Smith (10.87).-After a two-month break from the racing circuit, Karsten Warholm returned to action in STUNNING form, clocking a 46.28 Diamond League record to win the 400m hurdles in the third fastest mark of all time.Stay tuned for our Lausanne Diamond League recap + Brussels Diamond League preview on Wednesday!____________Hosts: Chris Chavez | ⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram + Preet Majithia | @preetmajithia on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr on InstagramMentioned in this episode…Watch: Kenny Bednarek Says He And Noah Lyles Are All Good After USAs Staredown And ShoveWatch: Silesia Diamond League interviewsListen: Emily Mackay On Qualifying For The World Championships, The Hunger For More And The Decision To Leave Team New Balance BostonListen: Jonah Koech On The Mindset, Belief To Win The U.S. 1500m Title + Previewing The 1500m In Tokyo____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Straight out of Bikini Bottom, Olipop's limited edition SpongeBob cans have arrived.

“This year, with all the challenges and setbacks, gave me a lot of confidence in that I was still able to come out and deliver and make this team. I have a lot of confidence from experience and just knowing that no matter the circumstances, I'm able to stay focused and get the job done; just focus on myself and what I need to do to be the best runner I can be. That's where I draw my confidence from.”My guest for today's episode is Emily Mackay. In the 1500m, the margin between heartbreak and a ticket to the World Championships can be a lean, a lunge, or a fraction of a second. For Emily, it was the last 100m at Hayward Field, stride for stride with her former training partner Heather McLean, both fighting for the third and final spot to Tokyo. Mackay pulled ahead in that final stretch and stopped the clock at 4:04.38 for third place behind Nikki Hiltz and Sinclaire Johnson and secured her place on Team USA for Tokyo.It's been less than a year since Mackay qualified for her first Olympics — a breakout 2024 season that saw her win World Indoor bronze in Glasgow in the 1500. She went on to run 3:55 to move to #3 all time among Americans and stood on the podium at the U.S. Olympic trials. She also reached the semifinal of the 1500m at the Paris Olympics, but in the months since, She's navigated change and injury.She parted ways with Team New Balance Boston's training group during the outdoor season and is now coached by Pete Julian. She's still sponsored by New Balance while living in Boulder, Colorado. In this episode, we talk about the U.S. championships, the transition between training groups, and the confidence it takes to keep climbing in one of the most competitive eras of American distance running.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠Guest: Emily Mackay | @emily_mac7 on Instagram Produced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠Mentioned in this episode…Watch: USATF Championships women's 1500m final____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Straight out of Bikini Bottom, Olipop's limited edition SpongeBob cans have arrived.

Angelina Napoleon is 20, but she's already shaking up the NCAA and U.S. elite running scene like a veteran.She is a World U20 medalist, NCAA runner-up, Olympic Trials finalist, and the owner of more national records than most people rack up in a lifetime.Let's talk numbers: She ran 9:32 for the 3000m steeplechase this summer, a personal best that put her within a heartbeat of the Paris Olympic team. She still owns the U.S. high school record in the 2000m steeple, clocking 6:18 back in 2022. In the 1500? 4:10. The mile? 4:33. She's got insane talent.But stats only scratch the surface. Angelina's story is about way more than medals. Born and raised in Allegany, New York (and now training at NC State), she's gone from self-taught hurdler to NCAA All-American and team leader. She's fiercely honest about mental health, fueling struggles, and coming back from setbacks—using her platform to speak out for equity, mentorship, and real talk in women's sports.From hosting “Mindful Miles” on Instagram to launching a nutrition series with her new NIL deal, Angelina is showing athletes that you can be both vulnerable and unstoppable. In today's conversation, Angelina walks me through this massive breakthrough performance, what goes into a breakthrough, the blueprint for her breakthrough, what it means to make a world championship team, why having a bleieving coach is so crucial, using missing the trials last year as motivation, and her dreams to break 9:00 in the steeple and be the face of the US in this event for the decade to come. Tap into the Angelina Napoleon Special.  If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review! I would also appreciate it if you share it with your friend who you think will benefit from it. Comment the word “PODCAST” below and I'll DM you a link to listen. If this episode blesses you, please share it with a friend!S H O W  N O T E S-The Run Down By The Running Effect (our new newsletter!): https://tinyurl.com/mr36s9rs-BUY MERCH BEFORE IT'S GONE: https://shop.therunningeffect.run-Our Website: https://therunningeffect.run -THE PODCAST ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClLcLIDAqmJBTHeyWJx_wFQ-My Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/therunningeffect/?hl=en⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-Take our podcast survey: https://tinyurl.com/3ua62ffz

The next time someone complains that track and field is boring, tell them about August 3, 2025.Today's epic conclusion to the 2025 USATF Outdoor Championships were so packed to the gills with drama that it extended beyond the start and finish lines. You want rivalries? Got ‘em. Records? check. Emotions? Certainly. Controversy? You bet.After finishing a surprise third in the 1500m, the event that delivered an Olympic title, Cole Hocker found redemption in the 5000m, where he closed off a slow early pace in an astonishing 51.76 seconds to win his first U.S. title in the longer event. NCAA champion Roisin Willis won her first U.S. senior title in the 800m a few steps after national leader Addy Wiley got tripped up.Two World champions weren't even present for their event finals: Grant Holloway qualified for the 110m hurdles final but, for the third time in his career, leaned on his wild card entry to Worlds and skipped the last round of racing. Sha'Carri Richardson missed qualifying for the final of the 200m by 0.01 seconds, but her training partner Melissa Jefferson-Wooden added a second U.S. title to her resume with a personal-best 21.84 run. Behind Jefferson-Wooden and runner-up Anavia Battle, who's having a helluva season of her own, the last spot on the 200m team couldn't have been tighter. The three women who represented Team USA at the Paris Olympics were all credited with a 22.20 finish, meaning the critical result came down to one thousandth of a second as Gabby Thomas (22.197) barely beat out Brittany Brown (22.198) and McKenzie Long (22.199).And yet somehow, that wasn't even the most dramatic 200m race of the day. In the men's final, Noah Lyles defended his title over Kenny Bednarek in a world-leading 19.63 to Bednarek's 19.67, but a little post-race shoving and strongly-worded jawing occurred in plain sight of the TV cameras and Hayward fans. It's safe to say that Lyles and Bednarek are friendly rivals — except for the friendly part.__________Hosts: ⁠⁠Chris Chavez⁠⁠, ⁠⁠Eric Jenkins⁠⁠, Aisha Praught-Leer, Paul Hof-Mahoney⁠⁠ & ⁠⁠Anderson Emerole⁠⁠Produced by: ⁠⁠Mac Fleet⁠⁠ & ⁠⁠Jasmine Fehr⁠⁠__________Find everything you need to know about the 2025 USATF Outdoor Championships here:Listen: Day 3 Recap ShowListen: Day 2 Recap ShowListen: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Day 1 Recap Show⁠⁠⁠Subscribe: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CITIUS MAG Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Read: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Distance preview⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠Sprints + hurdles preview⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠Throws + heptathlon preview⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠Jumps + decathlon preview⁠⁠⁠⁠__________SUPPORT 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.

One year on from the Paris Olympics, officials are still assessing the legacy of those Games - and the resutls are mixed. Sports correspondent Dana Johannsen spoke to Lisa Owen.

In this episode of Hear-Tell, Rosalind Bentley—distinguished professor of practice in the University of Georgia's MFA Narrative Nonfiction program—sits down with recent MFA graduate and freelance journalist Ryan Atkinson for a thoughtful conversation about reporting, trust, and the art of storytelling. Ryan, now based in metro Atlanta, spent over a decade as a sports writer and editor in newsrooms across the lower Midwest before transitioning into trade publishing. Last year, he returned to longform with a powerful feature for FanSided, chronicling hurdler Cordell Tinch's remarkable quest for a spot on the 2024 Paris Olympic team. In this episode, Ryan talks with Roz about what it took to earn Cordell's trust, how he navigated access, and what the story taught him about perseverance—both on the track and on the page. Read Ryan's full story here: Cordell Tinch's Olympic Journey – FanSided.

The WIP Morning Team continues the Joel Embiid conversation, zeroing in on his decision to play in the Paris Olympics. Was Embiid showing mature judgment, or were his priorities misplaced? The crew also tackles the side topic of the day: Who is your favorite multifaceted athlete? Jon Ritchie admits he hasn't proudly worn Sixers gear in a while—unlike his continued loyalty to the Flyers, despite their struggles.

The WIP Morning Show reacts to Jon Ritchie's failed attempt to tackle Deion Sanders and dives into a heated conversation about loyalty. Tom Kelly gets emotional while calling out Ritchie for not supporting Joe DeCamara. Plus, TK shares his frustrations with Joel Embiid's latest comments, calling them more excuses. The team debates Embiid's decision to play in the Paris Olympics and his performance since returning to the Sixers.

The WIP Morning Team discusses the new ESPN profile on Joel Embiid. They discuss who they blame for the Joel Embiid situation? Embiid or the Sixers organization? Jon Ritchie says that he blames both. They listen to the ESPY Awards from last night, where the host, Shane Gillis shouts out the Eagles, Critiques the Cowboys, and makes a skit about the invention of the Tush Push. Tom Kelly, in for Joe DeCamara, gets emotional when talking about how Jon still doesn't support Joe DeCamara. The team relives some childhood stories from Ritchie, and prepares him to be the ball boy in the upcoming Joe v Jack tennis match. They watched Jon Ritchie's attempt to tackle Deion Sanders and break down Joel Embiid's newest article where Kelly just said he felt like it was just more excuse making for Embiid. The team analyzes Embiid's decision to play in the Paris Olympics and his performance after returning to the Sixers. Life Advice with Tom Kelly, Time's Yours, and more on this morning's show.

SwimSwam sat down with May-Ambre Moluh, the French sprinter who just finished her freshman season at Cal and is headed to Singapore for the World Championships this summer. We discuss her toughest sets in France, the American Mentality, and competing at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

This week Andrew talks with Team USA swimmer & Olympic silver medalist Claire Weinstein. Claire is just 18 years old and has become one of the most talked about names in international swimming. She began swimming at age 3 and qualified for the U.S. Olympic trials at age 13 — one of the youngest swimmers to ever qualify. In 2024, Claire won a silver medal at the Paris Olympics — and now she has her sights set on even more. In this conversation, Claire shares the mindsets, techniques, & philosophies that have helped her become one of the best swimmers in the world. You'll hear powerful ideas on making bold decisions, the power of consistency, & how to reach your full potential in anything.  ** Follow Andrew **Instagram: @AndrewMoses123Twitter/X: @andrewhmosesSign up for e-mails to keep up with the podcast at everybodypullsthetarp.com/newsletterDISCLAIMER: This podcast is solely for educational & entertainment purposes.

“When I saw the time, I was like, ‘I did that. We are back. I'm me again…' It felt so good to be like, ‘I'm back and doing things as good as I know how to do them, which I haven't done in a while. It felt really good!”My guest for today's episode is one of the most electrifying athletes in track and field right now: Anna Hall. The two-time decathlon Olympic champion Ashton Eaton went as far as to say that she might be one of the best athletes on earth right now.Just days after winning the Hypomeeting in Götzis with 7,032 points, Hall now sits second on the all-time heptathlon list, tied with Carolina Kluft and trailing only her mentor, the great Jackie Joyner-Kersee. That mark was achieved with four personal bests, including a gutsy 2:01 in the 800m – a reminder that the final event of the heptathlon was more than a win. It was a comeback statement after last summer's heartbreaking fifth place finish at the Paris Olympics.In this conversation, Anna opens up about the emotional weight of that Olympic result, the rehab process after knee surgery, and how this performance in Austria healed her. We also talk about what it means to chase a legend and have such a close connection with someone like Jackie Joyner-Kersee, the mental and physical toll of the heptathlon, and what's next as she eyes a potential world title this fall.She's looking to become just the second American to win gold in the heptathlon after Jackie Joyner-Kersee won in 1987 and 1993. Anna is the kind of athlete who competes with heart, guts, and joy.Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠@chris_j_chavez on InstagramGuest: Anna Hall | @annaa.hall on Instagram SUPPORT 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.

When consumers can get AI-generated designs completely customized to their needs, what does this mean for the future of brands and the customer experience? I have two guests on my show today: one is the founder of one of the world's most iconic shoe brands, and the other is the co-creator of the first AI-designed commercial shoe. Today we're going to talk about what it takes to innovate and grow a brand and how things are both similar—and different since Reebok launched its brand in 1960, and now Syntilay brings a whole new era of AI-based design to the market. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome Joe Foster, the founder of Reebok and Ben Weiss, the CEO of Syntilay. About Joe FosterJoe founded Reebok in 1958 with his late brother Jeff, following their family heritage back to 1895. Joe's Grandfather, also Joseph W Foster, pioneered the spiked running shoe and famously made shoes for the Worlds best athletes of the early 20th century, with World records and Olympics Gold Medals.Wearing (pumps) made by J W Foster & Sons Ltd, Harold Abrahams and Eric Liddell won Olympic Gold Medals in the 1928 Paris Olympics and were immortalised in the film ‘Chariots of Fire'.With Reebok they followed in his footsteps, with Olympic, Commonwealth and European medals and World record breaking performances, represented now by the range of Reebok Classics. About Ben WeissBen is building the future of sneakers, shoes designed with Artificial Intelligence that are entirely 3D printed, accompanied by an excellent team and set of advisors including the legendary Reebok Founder, Joe Foster, original Shark Tank Shark, Kevin Harrington, and others. He hosts the business podcast, LegendsNLeaders, which breaks down the steps it truly takes to become successful and have a positive impact in the world. The podcast has featured outstanding guests like Kevin O'Leary, Shark Tank Shark, Howie Mandel, Steve Madden, Miss Universe, R'Bonney Nola, and has been viewed in the millions.

On The Cycling Podcast Féminin this month, Rose Manley, Denny Gray and Rebecca Charlton head back to their virtual cabana to talk about everything that happened in the Spanish racing block. With a win at Vuelta a Burgos, Marlen Reusser's ascendency continues. The Movistar rider has put a difficult 2024 behind her to become one of the very best GC stage race contenders in the world. Plus we can't agree on whether to put Team SD Worx's lacklustre GC stage racing campaign in Burgos and Itzulia down to overreaching team orders or plain old bad luck. And there are some new names to look out for in the peloton, with riders like Mie Bjørndal Ottestad and Celia Géry enjoying breakthrough performances. For this month's mini feature, we speak to two Irish riders who have joined the World Tour this season - Lara Gillespie of UAE-ADQ and Mia Griffin of Roland. The pair formed half of the quartet that made history at the Paris Olympics as Ireland's first ever female pursuit team, a feat all the more remarkable considering the country is yet to have an indoor velodrome. We hear from both riders as they turn their attentions to the road. Also on the agenda, week-long Nienke Vinke Fan Club celebrations, Denny's Union Jack bowler hat and how the TCP Féminin budget REALLY gets spent.
