“I'm patient. I call it aggressively patient. I'm going hard for it all — but if it doesn't happen, there's still a process and I chip away for next time. That's how you become a champion. You don't just go out there and run and win. You have to have a journey and work hard. I'm always going hard.”Welcome back to Office Hours on the CITIUS MAG Podcast, where we explore the philosophy of the coaches who push the edges of human potential with some of the best athletes in track and field.Today's guest is someone who has climbed to some of the highest highs in the sport. Joanna Hayes is an Olympic gold medalist, a Hall of Famer, and currently the director of track and field and cross country at her alma mater UCLA. In 2024, she was named USATF's Coach of the Year — a recognition not just for her competitive pedigree, but her ability to cultivate greatness in others.She's coached legends like Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone and Rai Benjamin, ushered in record-breaking seasons at both USC and UCLA, and she's done it all while remaining grounded in values of respect, discipline, family, and joy. In this conversation, we explore what success does and doesn't change about how she leads, what it feels like to return to the place where it all started, the realities of coaching both elite professionals and college athletes and how the two are more connected than you think.We talk about legacy, resilience, motherhood, and what it means to show up not just as a coach, but as a human being who makes space for culture, connection, and yes, sometimes TikToks and fresh fits. Coach Hayes's story is one of full circle moments and forward motion. She's creating a new chapter at UCLA and you'll hear in this conversation why it's one worth watching and rooting for.

We actually recorded this while we were in Paris but had to keep it under wraps for a bit. This was just a few days after Alison Dos Santos earned his second Olympic bronze medal in the men's 400m hurdles. He went on to win the 2024 Diamond League title and finished the year with a personal best of 46.29, which puts him at No. 3 on the all-time list behind Karsten Warholm and Rai Benjamin. We talk a bit about the state of the men's 400m hurdles. His experience in Paris and his excitement around becoming the first South American athlete to sign with Grand Slam Track. He will be contesting the 400m and 400m hurdles four times per year at the four Slams in 2025 for the inaugural season of Michael Johnson's professional track league.

"I realized I was starting to open up a little bit of a gap and I'm like, ‘Oh my gosh, am I going to win?' I probably was looking around way too much. But in my mind I was like, ‘Is this really happening right now? That's what was going through my head. It was just adrenaline and just taking in the moment of, ‘Wow, this is incredible. Is this really happening?' Then just trying to dig deep to finish the race." Kenneth Rooks just brought home a silver medal in the men's 3000-meter steeplechase at the Paris Olympics. How'd he do it? Well, if you haven't watched the race yet. Go on NBC Sports' YouTube channel, watch it and then pick this podcast back up because he comes from the back of the pack to nearly pull off one of the biggest upsets in Olympic history. His final time of 8:06.41 shattered his personal best by an astounding nine seconds and makes him the second-fastest American ever in this event. Kenneth's past 14 months have been amazing. Just a year ago, he was relatively unknown on the international stage, but after winning the NCAA title, the U.S. Championships in dramatic fashion by falling and getting back up and now an Olympic silver, he's shown the world what he's capable of. We have at least two past episodes with Kenneth that you can go back and listen to. In a race dominated by the likes of world record holder Lamecha Girma and defending Olympic champion Soufiane El Bakkali, Kenneth's surge in the final lap put everyone on notice. He boldly took the lead with 400 meters to go, and although El Bakkali eventually reclaimed the top spot, Kenneth's audacious run secured him a place in history. It was one of the biggest surprises of the Games but Kenneth takes us through why he believes it was possible, the training it took to get there and why he believes he can go a little faster. He's just 24 years old and just getting started.

Olympische Emotionen 2024: Bronzemedaillen und Überraschungssiege In dieser packenden Episode des MainAthlet Leichtathletik Podcasts sprechen wir über die emotionalen Höhepunkte und Überraschungen der Olympischen Spiele 2024 in Paris. Die Olympischen Spiele neigen sich dem Ende zu, aber die spannenden Wettkämpfe und beeindruckenden Leistungen haben uns noch lange nicht losgelassen. Wir beginnen mit einem Rückblick auf den zweiten Tag des Siebenkampfs der Frauen, wo Caro Schäfer ihre olympische Karriere mit einem soliden Weitsprung und einer starken Leistung im Speerwurf krönt. Ihre Bestweite von 46,45 Metern war ein würdiger Abschluss ihrer großartigen Laufbahn. Auch die deutschen 4x400-Meter-Staffeln der Frauen und Männer haben uns begeistert. Während das Frauenquartett knapp den Einzug ins Finale verpasste, überzeugten die Männer mit einer der schnellsten deutschen Zeiten seit Jahrzehnten, auch wenn es am Ende nicht für das Finale reichte. Wir diskutieren die Leistungen und analysieren, was in den kommenden Jahren für beide Staffeln möglich ist. Ein besonderes Highlight dieser Folge ist die Analyse der deutschen 4x100-Meter-Staffel der Frauen, die mit einer Bronzemedaille in einem dramatischen Rennen brillierte. Mit der erfahrenen Alexandra Burghardt an der Spitze und Gina Lückenkempers sensationeller Zeit von 9,89 Sekunden in der Kurve hat das Team eine beeindruckende Leistung abgeliefert. Ein weiteres emotionales Ereignis war das Kugelstoßen der Frauen, bei dem Yemisi Ogunleye mit einem Stoß über die 20-Meter-Marke die Goldmedaille sicherte. Ihre beeindruckende Leistung und die damit verbundene emotionale Geschichte berühren uns tief. Nicht weniger spannend war das 400-Meter-Hürden-Finale der Männer, in dem Rai Benjamin überraschend die Goldmedaille gewann und Karsten Warholm hinter sich ließ. Dieses Ergebnis zählt zu den großen Überraschungen der Olympischen Spiele 2024. Wir werfen außerdem einen Blick auf das bevorstehende Marathon-Finale der Männer und die weiteren spannenden Entscheidungen am letzten Tag der Olympischen Spiele. Sei dabei und erlebe die emotionalen Höhen und Tiefen des größten Sportereignisses der Welt hautnah!

Last one, fast one?! The final day of the Olympic Trials was one for the history books. In every. single. event. that took place on the tracks yesterday afternoon, the Olympic Trials meet record was broken. In multiple events, simply qualifying for Team USA meant you had to produce a performance that ranked in the U.S. top-10 of all time. 12.37 in the 100m hurdles, 3:56.75 in the women's 1500m, and 1:44.12 in the men's 800m were only good enough for fourth place. The mantra of “iron sharpens iron” normally applies to training groups, but it certainly also applies to American track and field right now. When being top 10 in the world is not a guarantee of being top 3 in the U.S., the choice is simple: you elevate your game or you go home. The afternoon began with the 5000m final, where last year's U.S. champ Abdi Nur and this year's 10,000m champ Grant Fisher treated the fans to an epic duel over the final few laps. It took a sub-4 1600m to break the rest of the field, and in the final strides, Fisher was able to re-pass Nur and get his second title of the week, the first time he's completed the 10/5 double. Behind them, it was a similar battle for third between collegians Parker Wolfe and Graham Blanks, and it's still not clear whether Wolfe or Blanks will end up on Team USA. Wolfe needs a few scratches in the world rankings ahead of him, and Blanks has the auto standard. In the men's 800m, Bryce Hoppel won his sixth straight U.S. title (counting indoors), but he did it in the fastest time of his career, a 1:42.77. His training partner Hobbs Kessler snagged third and qualifies for both the 800m and 1500m, the first time an American man has done that since 1976. In the women's 100m hurdles, you could throw a blanket over the whole field with two hurdles remaining, but it was Masai Russell who closed the best and clocked a 12.25, the good for #4 on the world all-time list. Rai Benjamin did Rai Benjamin things in the men's 400m hurdles, cruising to a 46.47 world lead and meet record well ahead of the competition. The women's 1500m was an absolute battle — more on that below. And then we closed the weekend with Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone. McLaughlin-Levrone is used to being the star of the show, and honestly her biggest competition is usually the shadow of her past self. In the 400m hurdles final she had the benefit of a fast-starting Anna Cockrell on her outside, who stayed even with the Olympic champ for the first three hurdles and kept the pressure on early. But the real difference was that, coming around the final turn, McLaughlin-Levrone didn't shut it down like she normally does through the rounds, instead powering down the homestretch to an incredible new world record 50.65. For those keeping score at home, that's the fifth time McLaughlin-Levrone has lowered the world record. When she started, the world record she was breaking was Dalilah Muhammad's 52.16 from 2019, and now it's an incredible 1.51 seconds faster. 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.

"But there are not a lot of Black cyclists that ride, obviously. Justin Williams' whole thing is about getting more Black people on bikes and just people on bikes in general. It was awesome because I've never met those guys before and they knew nothing about me and it was completely welcoming and friendly. It's a great community. Everyone wants to help out. Everyone wants to invite you to these social rides. You're not just addicted to riding but more being in a setting with those people." We all know Rai Benjamin from the many global medals, but this interview is not about any of that. This fall I saw that the Mt. Vernon native had taken up a new activity, one that is most usually reserved for retired distance runners like myself. We caught up last week because I was intrigued to hear more about how and why the American record holder at the 400m hurdles had become such a serious cyclist during the off-season.

“Personally, it's always been the mission… We're willing to be patient. But we're also very keen on what the mission is. It's not to stop at championships. It's not to stop at fast times. It's not to stop at American Records. It's not to get content. We are here to completely push the boundary every time. I'm very vocal about that...I've posted what my time goals are for the World Championships. I'm here to run 9.65 and I'm here to run 19.10. The crazy thing is it causes so much controversy. Why should my dream or belief cause controversy with you? It has nothing to do with you. If I don't get it, and if I do get it, how does it change your life? So many people want to have an opinion on it. And so many people want to tell me what I can and can't do. But you know what they can't tell me? What I ran in practice yesterday. And I bet that's the information you need to know if I'm going to actually run it or not.” Two-time world champion and Olympic bronze medalist Noah Lyles jins the CITIUS MAG Podcast to break down all of the biggest revelations in his new two-part documentary series with NBC Sports. "Untitled: The Noah Lyles Project" premieres on Friday, August 18 exclusively on Peacock. We managed to get an advanced look at the documentary and were able to record this interview before the series debuts. At the upcoming World Championships in Budapest, Lyles will attempt to defend his 200m world title and has been open about the fact that he is trying to break Usain Bolt's 200m world record. The documentary follows him in training, at the New York City Grand Prix, the U.S. Championship and Paris Diamond League. Part II of the documentary series will follow him through the World Championships and will air on Friday, September 15 – one day before the Diamond League Final at Hayward Field in Eugene.

Michael Norman is the world champion at 400 meters and he just made headlines last week as he told NBC that in 2023, he will be focusing on the 100 meters. As the defending gold medalist, he's got his spot secured for the World Championships in Budapest so I am here for his experiment. He's run 9.86 for 100 meters, 19.70 for 200 meters and his 43.45 personal best for 400m makes him the fourth-fastest man in history. He is just 25 years old so there is tons of potential to be excited about. In this episode, I appreciated his honesty in talking about the disappointment of finishing 5th at the Tokyo Olympics, how he overcame that to win gold last year and what it's going to take to get even faster and stay on top. Mike is a big Formula1 fan so we also had some fun talking about that, why I need him to start a podcast with Rai Benjamin and much more.

On August 24th 2004, Joanna Hayes won the Olympic Gold medal in the Women's 100mH in Athens, Greece. She became the first American Women to win Olympic Gold in the event since Benita Fitzgerald at the 1984 Olympics. Her winning time of 12.37 broke the Olympic Record in the event set back in Seoul 1988. Hayes has since transitioned into coaching, now working at the University of Southern California as the Assistant Sprints and Hurdles coach. She also works with pro athletes such as Rai Benjamin, Michael Norman, Kendall Ellis, Kyra Constantine among others. At the recent 2022 World Championships in Eugene Oregon, we sat down with Hayes to talk a bit about her history competing, perspective on the hurdles and now working as a coach. We dive into her background growing up in California, looking up to Flo-Jo, JJK and Gail Devers, and doubling in both the 100mH and 400mH. We also discuss her 2004 Olympic Gold, the current landscape of the Womens 100mH and what she loves about coaching and working with athletes now.

Chris Chavez, Kyle Merber and John Anderson speak with Rai Benjamin after earning a silver medal in the men's 400m hurdles. In this episode, he explains why the silver medal means so much to him in a season marred by illness and injury. He earned an Olympic silver medal last year in 46.17, which is the second-fastest time in history and the American record. He has broken 47-seconds for the 400m hurdles four times in his career. He also explains why he was blown away by Trevor Bassitt's story, who earned bronze in a personal best of 47.39. SUPPORT THE SPONSORS GARMIN: Music. Training. Data.

A 18ª edição do Campeonato Mundial de Atletismo termina neste domingo (24) no Oregon, nos Estados Unidos. O Brasil participou da competição com 58 representantes: 23 atletas no feminino e 35 no masculino. Um dos destaques foi o paulista Alison dos Santos, que conquistou ouro nos 400 metros com barreiras. Ele começou no judô, mas influenciado pela treinadora Ana Fidélis, o brasileiro Alison dos Santos logo descobriu, ainda na pequena cidade de São Joaquim da Barra, no interior de São Paulo, que tinha talento para o atletismo. E a escolha deu certo. O atleta, de 22 anos, venceu uma das provas mais importantes do atletismo na terça-feira (19), com tempo de 46.29, quebrando os recordes sul-americano e do Campeonato Mundial, que pertencia ao norte-americano Kevin Young, com tempo de 47.18. Atualmente, o recorde mundial dos 400 metros com barreiras é do norueguês Karsten Warholm, campeão olímpico, com tempo de 45.94. A nova marca coloca o brasileiro no topo do ranking mundial de 2022. Inspirado em Joaquim Cruz, campeão olímpico e atual chefe de equipe do Brasil no Oregon, Alison, que mede 2 metros de altura e tem 76 kg, disse que demorou a acreditar no resultado. “A ficha está caindo ainda, estou vivendo o momento. Aproveitando a situação aqui para chegar e comemorar com os meus familiares. Agora não quero pensar em nada, só curtir o momento e aproveitar um pouco. Eu vou lembrar desse momento, vou deixar a ficha cair, vou assistir a corrida várias vezes, vai ser algo mágico para mim”, disse o atleta. Também subiram ao pódio com ele, no estádio Hayward Field, na cidade de Eugene, os norte-americanos Rai Benjamin e Trevor Bassitt, medalhas de prata e bronze, respectivamente. Este foi o segundo ouro e a 14ª medalha do Brasil na história da competição. O Brasil participou da 18ª edição do Campeonato Mundial de Atletismo nos Estados Unidos com 58 representantes: 23 atletas no feminino e 35 no masculino. Treinado pelo técnico Felipe Siqueira, que o acompanha desde 2018, Piu chegou à final invicto nos 400 metros com barreiras em 2022. Ele havia iniciado a preparação em São Paulo e continuou os treinos na região de San Diego, na Califórnia, a partir de março. Com esse resultado, Alison dos Santos superou as campanhas de 2019 e 2021, quando foi finalista no mundial de Doha, no Catar, e medalha de bronze nos Jogos Olímpicos de Tóquio. “Comentando sobre a prova, sobre o finalzinho, foi muita emoção no momento de passar a última barreira e saber que eu iria ser campeão mundial. Eu só queria literalmente passar a linha e comemorar, curtir esse momento”, diz. “E talvez sim, eu pudesse ter tido um tempo melhor, não sei se o recorde mundial. Mas estamos trabalhando para isso, a gente sabe que a gente é capaz de fazer isso e vamos para mais, vamos buscar esse recorde mundial, a temporada ainda não acabou. Vamos continuar no foco, continuar no trabalho que a gente consegue alcançá-lo”, completou. O atleta voltou ao Brasil na sexta-feira (22), seguindo direto para São Joaquim da Barra para rever a família. “Está sendo maravilhoso, eu ainda não parei. Não tive tempo para parar e assistir tudo o que me marcaram, compartilharam, as mensagens que me mandaram, mas está sendo muito mágico receber o carinho do povo brasileiro, mais uma vez, e todos que estão comigo e realmente torcem por mim. É incrível ter esse momento e compartilhar essa energia com vocês, é gratificante e eu vou levar comigo sempre”, disse o atleta. Próximas etapas Alison viaja para a Europa no dia 3 de agosto. Ele compete em mais três etapas da Diamond League nos 400m com barreiras: no dia 6 de agosto em Silesia, na Polônia; no dia 2 de setembro em Bruxelas, na Bélgica e no dia 8 de setembro em Zurique, na Suíça. O atleta também vai correr a prova dos 400 metros rasos no dia 8 de agosto, no Grand Prix da Hungria. Futuramente, Piu também mantém o foco nos Jogos Olímpicos de Paris 2024. Antes, vai tentar o bicampeonato nos Jogos Pan-Americanos de Santiago, em 2023. “O foco é melhorar, continuar no progresso, evoluir no resultado, correr cada vez mais rápido e sim, sonhamos com o ouro em Paris, sabendo que a gente tem chance para chegar lá e brigar por isso”, afirma. “A gente provou isso na pista, que veio para cá para conquistar não só o campeonato mundial, mas uma medalha de ouro também nos jogos olímpicos e fazer história. E a gente sonha com o recorde mundial. E competições como essas, mundiais e jogos olímpicos são perfeitos para fazer isso e eu sei que os jogos de Paris serão maravilhosos”, conclui.

"We want to prepare for the World Championships, run fast before the World Championships to get confidence and then try to win the World Championships." Happy Friday! This is the eighth edition of Track Snacks – a mini-series taking you into the weekend where Chris Chavez and a CITIUS MAG staffer or friend share the story of an athlete who they're excited about right now that you can expect to see compete at the World Athletics Championships Oregon22 (July 15–24, 2022). For this episode, we're joined by Brazilian hurdle star Alison Dos Santos after he won the Prefontaine Classic men's 400m hurdle race in a world-leading time of 47.23. Last summer, he was part of one of the greatest races in track and field history – the Olympic 400m hurdle final. Norway's Karsten Warholm made history by becoming the first person to break 46 seconds with his victory (45.95). Rai Benjamin went 46.17 for the second-fastest time in history and the silver medal. Dos Santos rounded out the podium with a 46.72 for the bronze medal. We chatted more with him about how he got his start in track and field because he was competing on big stages as a teenager including winning a bronze medal at the 2018 World U20 Championships. He's earned gold medals at the South American Championships and the PanAmerican Games. His first senior global championship came in 2019 when he finished 7th at the World Championships in Doha – just a quarter of a second away from the bronze medal. I watched Dos Santos during the practice session at Hayward Field. He's six feet, seven inches tall and puts down tremendous force into the ground. While he's fierce and focused on the track, if you catch him anywhere off-the-track, he's always willing to stop and chat, crack some jokes, tell stories and even share a dance. Track Snacks is presented by Hayward Magic. Everyone knows how much all of us in the CITIUS MAG family love track & field, and how much we enjoy sharing that love with you all. Well, we've got a few big love-sharing ideas in the works and it all takes place in Eugene, Oregon this summer. Hayward Field will be the home to the Prefontaine Classic, the USATF Outdoor Championships and the World Athletics Championships. We'll be there and you should be too.

Elaine Thompson-Herah of Jamaica took home three gold medals in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay and broke Florence Griffith Joyner's 100m Olympic record in the process. But the one feat she didn't accomplish in Tokyo was beating American Sha'Carri Richardson.Richardson returns to the track Saturday for the first time since the U.S. Olympic Trials in June.
