“The best athlete has short-term memory. After good races you push it away, and after bad races you just forget and move on.”My guest for today's episode is Klaudia Kazimierska — the World Ultimate champion at 1500 meters and one of the biggest breakthrough stories in track and field this year. She is 25 years old, a Nike pro, and trains under coach Jerry Schumacher in Eugene, Oregon. Her past month is the type of season most athletes would dream of.Here is how September went for Klaudia. She broke the Polish national record early in the month at the Silesia Diamond League. Then she went to Brussels and won the Diamond League Final in 3:54.05 — a world lead, a meet record, and a Polish record again all in the same race. Then she came back a week later and won the World Ultimate Championship 1500 meter final. Then she capped her season in London with another victory over Hunter Bell.  In those last three races, she earned $275,000 in prize money.In this one, we go back to Poland,  where she started running once a week at eleven years old because her dad knew the coach, ran 4:07 at nineteen and thought the Tokyo Olympics were right around the corner, then went backward. In 2021, frustrated and looking for something new, she started the paperwork to transfer to Oregon — a process complicated enough that it took a year. She's made the Olympic and World Championship finals in the last two years, but 2026 was really the breakthrough. Brussels was the first time she put herself in a position to win. Then Budapest was the second.We discuss:– The season that still hasn't fully settled in highlighted by three wins in three weeks — Diamond League final (Brussels), World Ultimate Championships (Budapest), Athlos London. Total prize earnings: approximately $275,000.– Growing up in Poland– Representing Poland at sixteen — and who else was there– The road to the University of Oregon– The language barrier and the fear of not being herself– The training difference — Poland vs. Eugene– The four-year plateau at 4:07– The Paris Olympic final — and why she cried on a day she ran a PB– What nobody knew about the 2025 NCAA Outdoor Championships– The torn hip labrum that almost ended 2025 before it started– The Tokyo World Championships and the first real glimpse of her kick– Pre-Classic as the tactical lesson that made Brussels possible– Brussels Diamond League Final— the shadow on the home straight: 3:54, the world lead.– Budapest — the gear shift, the last 50 meters, and knowing everyone else was hurting too.– London — finding the inside rail+ What's next____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Like sparkling apple juice and gummy apple rings blending into one, Olipop's Crisp Apple is so tantalizingly sweet and refreshing it makes every day feel like a celebration.

Cam McEvoy holds the 50 freestyle world record at 20.88 and is the reigning Olympic and world champion in the event. In a normal 50 training block, he swims about 1.5K a week. Fresh off Commonwealth Games gold in Glasgow, the Australian sprinter joins Katie Hoff Anderson to explain the gym-first, low-volume approach he built after Tokyo, why it runs against so much of how swimming has always trained, and why he believes the sport has not even seen its ceiling for strength yet.Cam walks through the day it started. In October 2022, after more than a year out of the water, his first session back was six parachute sprints of 12 strokes, and it knocked him out for a two-hour nap even though he has never been a napper. Within eight weeks he beat his Tokyo Olympic time in the 50 free, and within nine months he was world champion. He shares the one time his confidence wavered, when he overdid it in May 2023 and his coach Tim Lane told him to stay out of the pool until the meet, and how the 20.88 in China felt like he was ripping air for the first 25 to 30 meters. He also gets into his short course detour into the 100 freestyle, which is about the relay and the fun of something new, and why protecting his 50 free title makes him wary of adding the 4x100 at LA 2028.The deeper thread is trust. Cam explains why the gains from strength and power work happen outside of conscious experience, why that scares athletes raised on threshold sets they can feel, and why he thinks that fear is holding the sport back. He traces the whole idea to a bouldering gym after Tokyo, where climbers who looked like sticks were repping out front lever holds hanging from one finger on each side, and he lays out how he would approach age group training without pushing kids into either sprinting or high volume too early. He also talks about becoming a dad to his son Hartley, and how being home on the floor playing with him 20 minutes after training has changed how he sees the sport. In his words, "I'm swimming in a hole in the ground full of water."There is plenty of fun in here too: the hot tub five meters from the pool where his group sits for 15 to 20 minutes between 25s, smelling salts before a rep, why suiting up to rip a 25 feels like being 18 and discovering the bench press with your mates, his pitch for a 25 meter competition with a live band, ideally metal, and a pre-Olympic 25 race in LA that Katie wants hosted by Unfiltered Waters. Katie, who has a five-week-old at home and is chasing an Olympic Trials cut in the 100 breaststroke, also gets some very direct pull-up advice: "Spam them into oblivion, basically."He closes with the swim that brought him the most joy, a heat in Fukuoka in 2023 that felt like floating down the pool, the messages he gets every week from people who quit swimming 20 years ago and came back to it because of what he has shared, and the one word that motivates him: potential. For coaches, swim parents and anyone curious how the fastest 50 freestyler in history thinks about training, this is the method explained by the person who built it.-----Subscribe to the show on your favorite podcast platform, and follow us on social media (linktr.ee/unfilteredwaters) for clips, bonus content, and updates throughout the week.-----FOLLOW KATIE ON:Instagram: instagram.com/kthoff7-----SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSIM8health.com/discount/unfiltered for 10% offendlesspools.com/unfiltered to unlock $1,000 offdreamrecovery.io use code UNFILTEREDTHIRTY for 30% offhttps://tempurpedic.pxf.io/3k0Xzk to learn more about Tempur-Pedic-----#UnfilteredWaters #CamMcEvoy #Swimming

In this episode of Game Time, Amit Kamath and Mihir Vasavda discuss Nagoya, where athletes, coaches and journalists have been dealing with major logistical challenges at the Asian Games from long travel times to venue confusion. They discuss how the Aichi-Nagoya Games compare with the Tokyo Olympics, why shooters have been particularly affected, and what the opening days have revealed about the organisation of the event. Produced by Ichha SharmaEdited and mixed by Suresh Pawar

I have a treat for you this week!  it's been a while since I've had a guest on the podcast, and this one is worth the wait. I sat down with Dr. Cindra Kamphoff, award-winning keynote speaker, certified mental performance coach, and owner of the Mentally Strong Institute. She's worked with the Minnesota Vikings, USA Track & Field at the Tokyo Olympics, and countless leaders and entrepreneurs, and her newest book, The Confidence Habit: 7 Core Practices to Turn Self-Doubt into Self-Belief, just became a two-time national bestseller in its first week. In this conversation, Cindra breaks down why confidence isn't something you're born with - it's a feeling, a decision, a skill, and a belief, and every one of those can be trained. We talk about the five confidence traps, why she prefers the term "imposter phenomenon" over "imposter syndrome," the real difference between confidence and arrogance, and her seven core practices for building lasting self-belief. She also shares an incredibly moving story about a win wall she built with her family. If you've ever doubted yourself in a role you've earned, or you just want a more consistent, trainable sense of confidence, this episode is for you. Enjoy!

What if confidence isn't something you either have or don't have—but something you can practice? In this episode of The Millionaire Woman Show, I'm joined by Dr. Cindra Kamphoff, a bestselling author, speaker, coach, and expert in high performance and mental skills. We talk about what it really takes to build confidence, especially when self-doubt, fear, or uncertainty shows up. Cindra shares insights from her new book, The Confidence Habit, and we explore how confidence is built through the habits we practice every day—not by waiting until we feel completely ready. We talk about getting out of your own head, taking action before you feel 100% confident, changing the way you talk to yourself, and creating habits that strengthen your belief in what's possible. If you've ever wondered how to become more confident in your leadership, business, relationships, or everyday life, this conversation will give you plenty to think about—and practical ways to start building confidence today.Dr. Cindra Kamphoff is a confidence researcher, award-winning keynote speaker, and performance psychology expert who helps the world’s best athletes and leaders perform under pressure. With a Ph.D. in sport and performance psychology, she has worked one-on-one with Minnesota Vikings players and USA Track & Field athletes at the Tokyo Olympics.

As founder of the Mentally Strong Institute, she is on a mission to help 10 million people be mentally strong in 10 years, helping them train their minds, build lasting confidence, and become mentally stronger.  Book Title: THE CONFIDENCE HABIT: 7 Core Practices to Transform Self-Doubt to Self-Belief (Simon Element/Simon Acumen; September 1, 2026) Social Media Links & Show Notes: Website: www.cindrakamphoff.com and www.confidencetools.com  Instagram: @cindrakamphoff, https://www.instagram.com/cindrakamphoff/, 42k followers LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cindra-kamphoff/, 7k followers Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drcindrakamphoff Debra Kasowski is the charismatic podcast host of The Millionaire Woman Show, a 3X Best-Selling Author, Speaker, and Certified Executive Coach.

Dr. Cindra Kamphoff is a professor at Minnesota State University, Mankato and a sport and performance psychologist who has spent her career helping elite performers strengthen their mindset and perform at their best. She has worked one-on-one with Minnesota Vikings players, USA Track & Field athletes at the Tokyo Olympics, and executives at companies including Target and Verizon. Cindra earned her Ph.D. in sport and performance psychology and led a national research study examining confidence in America. She is also the author of The Confidence Habit: 7 Core Practices to Transform Self-Doubt to Self-Belief, which offers practical strategies for overcoming self-doubt, strengthening confidence, and performing at your best. In this episode we discuss the following: Cindra's technique for dealing with doubt and poor performance: learn, burn, return. Learn from it, move past it, and get back to work. Keep track of your wins so your brain has evidence of what you're capable of. Set a range of goals so your confidence isn't tied to one outcome. Remember that sometimes action has to come before the feeling. You don't have to feel confident before you raise your hand, take the shot, or have the conversation. When self-doubt creeps in, ask yourself three questions: Is this thought true? Is it serving me? And what would be a more empowering thought? Confidence isn't something we either have or don't have. It's a habit we can build.

One of the wonderful things about having your own podcast and determining who you want to interview is that you can just do whatever and follow your curiosity. In this case, I had the opportunity to sit down with Nogi San. She's a fantastic artist who does a plethora of things but is most well known for her comic book covers.I've always loved comics. As a kid, I collected a ton of them. I collected them to see the artwork mostly. I always loved the art component of comic books and still had a huge collection up until recently.Well, Nogi just happens does some insanely beautiful comic covers for the two biggest comic companies in the world, Marvel and DC. Before that, she did artwork for video games such as Assassin's Creed, Cyberpunk 2077, and League of Legends, and was handpicked by Giorgio Armani himself to do artwork for their 2020 Tokyo Olympics collaboration.But her art career didn't necessarily start that way. It started in a much more uncertain part of life where a career as an artist was maybe not the most secure route she could have taken. To get through that component, for most people, is really difficult. She knew in her heart that being a creative professional was the only thing she could do, because that's who she was on the inside.So I really enjoyed this podcast and I think you will too. To see her get animated when she talks about her art and her life and the things that make her who she is was lovely. She will no doubt be one of the premier comic book artists of the day. This is Nogi San on Art Dealer Diaries Podcast episode 412.

Dr. Cindra Kamphoff is a confidence researcher, award-winning keynote speaker, and performance psychology expert who helps elite athletes, executives, and leaders perform under pressure. With a PhD in sport and performance psychology, she has worked with Minnesota Vikings players and USA Track & Field athletes at the Tokyo Olympics. She also founded the Mentally Strong Institute and is the author of The Confidence Habit, a research-backed toolkit designed to help people train their minds, build lasting confidence, and become mentally stronger. On this episode we talk about: Why confidence isn't something you're born with, but a skill and habit you can continue to develop The seven research-backed "C" strategies for growing confidence How your identity and inner dialogue influence what you believe is possible for yourself Why mistakes, rejection, and failure don't have to diminish your confidence The growing confidence crisis and how social media and smartphone use can contribute to feelings of inadequacy Top 3 Takeaways Confidence is a skill you can train. Confidence naturally fluctuates, but you can strengthen it through practice, intentional self-talk, goal setting, and consistently challenging yourself. Your interpretation of failure matters more than the failure itself. A setback doesn't automatically withdraw from your "confidence bank account." It's the story you tell yourself about that setback that determines its impact. Pay attention to the identity you're building. The words you put behind "I am" shape how you see yourself and what's possible for you. Changing your internal dialogue can help expand your confidence and your goals. Notable Quotes "Confidence is a feeling that comes and goes. It's a decision that you get to make in the moment. It's a skill you get to keep growing." "It's not the actual events that happen in our life, it's the story we create around it." "Your identity is how you talk to yourself about yourself."

Today's episode is a special bonus from our recent Confidence Summit, which brought together nine professional speakers, entrepreneurs, and world-class athletes to share practical strategies for developing confidence. In this episode, you'll hear two powerful conversations with Olympians Paul Juda and Kendell Williams about what it takes to trust yourself when the pressure is highest. Paul Juda is an Olympic bronze medalist who helped Team USA earn its first Olympic men's gymnastics team medal in 16 years at the Paris Olympic Games. A standout at the University of Michigan, Paul is an NCAA all-around champion, multiple-time NCAA individual champion, and helped lead the Wolverines to an NCAA national championship. Kendell Williams is a two-time Olympian and elite multi-event track athlete. She made NCAA history as the first woman to win four consecutive titles in the same event at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships and has competed successfully at the collegiate, Olympic, and World Championship levels. Their experiences reveal an important truth about confidence: it is built long before the defining moment. Paul shares how he moved away from trying to look confident and instead focused on creating evidence that he was prepared. After falling short of the 2021 Olympic team, he became more intentional about his mental reps, visualization, preparation, and learning to trust his process. That work eventually helped him perform under enormous pressure as Team USA captured an historic bronze medal in Paris. Kendell experienced her own confidence battle heading toward the Tokyo Olympics. After the pandemic disrupted training and competition, self-doubt started affecting the way she practiced, competed, and thought about herself. She shares the mental tools she used to rebuild her confidence, including stopping automatic negative thoughts, using Learn-Burn-Return to move forward from mistakes, creating a "fitness bank" of evidence that she was prepared, using power phrases, and shifting her attention toward controllable process goals. When her first day at the Tokyo Olympics didn't go as planned, those tools helped her reset, return confidently on day two, and climb to a fifth-place finish. In this episode, you'll learn: Why Paul believes real confidence is quiet and built through preparation. How trying to appear confident can create additional pressure. Why mental reps matter alongside physical preparation. How visualization helped Paul prepare for the biggest moments of his career. How Kendell uses Learn-Burn-Return to recover quickly from mistakes. How to interrupt automatic negative thoughts before they damage your confidence. Why building a bank of evidence can remind you how prepared you really are. How power phrases can strengthen your self-talk in high-pressure moments. Why process goals can reduce anxiety around outcomes. How bronze, silver, and gold goals can help you pursue excellence while staying grounded. Why confidence ultimately comes from doing the work required to trust yourself. These conversations originally appeared as part of Cindra's Confidence Summit, featuring nine speakers, entrepreneurs, and world-class athletes. You can also get access to the complete 4.5-hour Confidence Summit as a bonus when you purchase Cindra's new book, The Confidence Habit.   Pre-order The Confidence Habit: https://www.confidencetools.com/

Emergency podcast with Chris Chavez, Mac Fleet, and Anderson Emerole after the Zurich Diamond League produced two world records in the hurdles within 40 minutes of each other.– Alison dos Santos, 45.80 — men's 400m hurdles world record: Takes 0.14 seconds off Karsten Warholm's 45.94 from the Tokyo Olympic final — one of the most celebrated marks in the sport. Karsten was in the race to defend his own record and finished second in 46.69 — still among the fastest ever run and nowhere near enough.– Masai Russell, 12.09 — women's 100m hurdles world record, 40 minutes later: Takes 0.03 off Tobi Amusan's 12.12, with zero wind, and Amusan in the race (Amusan finishes second in a season's best 12.23).– Parker Wolfe wins the men's 3000m — American go 1-2 with Graham Blanks: Parker's first Diamond League victory. Mac breaks down his style versus Cole Hocker's. The Diamond League final might not suit Parker's kick-dependent style, but he's a factor in a tactical World Ultimate 5000m final.– Cole Hocker wins the men's 1500m in 3:31.71: 8th American to win a Diamond League distance race this year.– Women's 800m — Audrey Werro wins in 1:53.70: Third fastest performance of all time. She let Femke Bol take the lead after the break, came to pass her around 300m out, Femke extended her arm and held her spot briefly, then Werro's closing speed just overwhelmed the field.– The World Ultimate picture: Qualifying window closes Monday.____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: OLIPOP's Citrus Rush packs apple, lemon, lime, and orange juices with 60mg of green tea caffeine for a bold, refreshing blast of flavor ready to fuel your next adventure.

After a career in wheelchair rugby that included representing New Zealand at the Tokyo Olympics, Barney Koneferenisi turned his attention to another challenge: making transport safer and more accessible for disabled people. His own experiences with taxis, rideshares and public transport led him to investigate how widespread those problems were. He's now working on an app designed to connect wheelchair users with drivers who are equipped and prepared to carry them.

It's Show 350, so this week on Coffee Chatter we're looking back at the last five years of BMX racing! From the chaos of 2020 and COVID, to the Tokyo Olympics, the return of normal racing, France's dominance, Romain's World Championship, Paris 2024, and the changing of the guard in 2025. We'll revisit some of the biggest races and moments of the last half decade, share some of our personal highlights, and debate the greatest main events we've watched along the way. Plus, Canadian Nationals talk, Coach's Corner, race-day fuel, and all the usual Coffee Chatter nonsense. Enjoy! #Chatter

Jemma Reekie doesn't remember most of her records—she just ran and found out later.The Scottish 800m/1500m star joins Dominic fresh off a fifth-place finish in the stacked Birmingham 2026 Euro 800m final, and opens up about a career that's been defined by extremes: three British indoor records broken in eight days as a 21-year-old who didn't even know what the records were; a fourth-place finish at the Tokyo Olympics decided by 0.09 seconds; and a Paris 2024 Olympics that looked like her best shot at a medal on paper but ended without even a final—a result that triggered the lowest point of her career, including a battle with disordered eating and anxiety she didn't get help for until six months later.Jemma talks candidly about rebuilding under coach Jon Bigg after that low, why the mental side of the sport is harder for her than the physical, and how bringing in a breathing coach helped her find stability. She also breaks down her training in detail—60 miles a week, mostly doubles, a strong aversion to slow running, and a "no phone until training's done" rule that's changed her focus. Plus, her friendly rivalry with Keely Hodgkinson, the story behind her cinematic training videos with videographer Ollie, and where her heart really lies between the 800m and 1500m heading toward LA.A raw, funny, and honest conversation with one of British middle distance's most resilient competitors.Tap into the Jemma Reekie Special. If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review!

Host Dan Boyce chats with McCarron about leaving Cairns for Melbourne United, why Dean Vickerman's system brought out the best basketball of his career, winning the 2021 NBL championship and the defensive criticism he faced playing point guard at 6'3. McCarron also opens up on why he left a championship-winning Melbourne team to sign a three-year deal with Adelaide, why three talented 36ers rosters continually failed to reach the postseason, the Craig Randall situation, CJ Bruton's departure and whether Adelaide ultimately asked him to be a type of point guard that didn't suit his game. The conversation also covers Aaron Fearne's underrated Taipans teams, Cairns' 2017 playoff run, his final season playing through knee problems with the New Zealand Breakers, playing alongside Parker Jackson-Cartwright, missing the 2019 World Cup and Tokyo Olympics and captaining Australia to Asia Cup gold. Topics include: Retiring from the NBL at just 32 and the injuries behind the decision Why he continues playing NBL1 basketball despite retiring professionally Aaron Fearne's system and why Cairns consistently exceeded expectations What stopped the Taipans from going further during their 2017 playoff run Leaving Cairns as his value around the NBL continued to rise Why Dean Vickerman and Melbourne United brought out the best version of Mitch McCarron Winning the 2021 NBL championship and earning All-NBL Second Team honours The criticism around whether United needed to hide him defensively against quicker point guards Why he walked away from a championship team to sign with Adelaide What went wrong during three straight seasons without finals basketball at the 36ers The Craig Randall situation and the problems inside Adelaide during CJ Bruton's tenure Whether the 36ers asked McCarron to become the wrong type of point guard The frustration of captaining talented Adelaide teams that continually fell short Joining the New Zealand Breakers and playing alongside Parker Jackson-Cartwright Playing through serious knee problems during his final NBL season Missing the 2019 World Cup and Tokyo Olympic teams despite becoming a regular Boomer The frustration of playing FIBA qualifying windows but missing the major tournaments Captaining Australia to Asia Cup gold Comparing the systems he played in at Cairns, Melbourne, Adelaide and New Zealand What the perfect offence for peak Mitch McCarron would actually look like All of this and a whole lot more...

He collapsed with heatstroke at the World Championships. A year later, he won an Olympic bronze medal.In this episode of The Quest for Success Podcast, Jam and Dylan Pathirana sit down with Rhydian Cowley, a three-time Australian Olympic race walker, for an honest conversation about resilience, reinvention, and building a life around a sport most people barely understand.Rhydian shares his journey from his early upbringing and the influence of his parents, through years of steady, largely unrewarded training, to the mental breakthrough that finally unlocked his potential. He walks us through his experience across three Olympic Games, including his performance at Rio 2016, the lessons learned from setbacks, and the moment everything clicked at Tokyo. He also opens up about the pressure of competing in an entirely new Olympic event, the mixed relay at Paris 2024, and what it actually felt like to win bronze alongside teammate Jemima Montag.The conversation goes well beyond the track. Rhydian talks candidly about balancing elite sport with a full-time career, the mental strategies that kept him grounded through pressure and setbacks, and why he believes success is a mindset that changes with circumstances rather than a fixed destination. He also shares how he's used his platform for climate advocacy, winning the BBC Green Sport Athlete of the Year award, and his ongoing work in conservation with Bush Heritage Australia.This episode is a powerful reminder that consistency, not flashiness, is what actually carries people through the long game, whether that's an Olympic career or anything else worth building.What we cover:Rhydian Cowley's early upbringing and his parents' influenceWhat success means to Rhydian and how that definition has evolvedBalancing elite sport with study and a professional careerThe road to Rio 2016 and lessons from his first OlympicsThe differences between the 20K and 50K race walk eventsBreaking through at Tokyo after years of plateauingWinning Olympic bronze in the mixed relay at Paris 2024Mental strategies for handling pressure and staying groundedTransitioning into a mentoring role for younger athletesUsing his platform for climate advocacy and sustainabilityHis work at Bush Heritage AustraliaMissing the Commonwealth Games and reframing setbacksKnowing when to retire and what comes next"Success is a mindset that changes with circumstances."

Knitting is seeing a resurgence, largely thanks to five-time Olympic diver Tom Daley going viral for knitting in the stands between events. After the Tokyo Olympics wrapped up, Tom now owns a knitting brand and has even been known to knit creations for celebrities - and he's now hosting Game of Wool: Britain's Best Knitter. He says he taught himself to knit, and it eventually became his 'superpower.' "It became my mindfulness, it became my mediation, and it became my way of switching off from the world around me, and taught me to slow down and be present, be in the moment."

On the Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin Full Show Podcast for Sunday 16 August, British Olympian Tom Daley went viral at the Tokyo Olympics as he sat in the stands knitting between events. Now he's somewhat of a celebrity knitter and joins Francesca to talk about his new show Game of Wool and why the show, and knitting, are appealing to younger generations. The day Whakaari White Island erupted, helicopter pilot Mark Law led an unofficial rescue mission to the island that ultimately saved lives. He shares his story of that day and his life with Francesca. In recent weeks, big tech companies have reported multiple cases of their AI systems going rogue during routine testing. It raises the question, how much is AI capable? Kiwi scientist Matthew Egbert is involved in international research to answer just that and talks to Francesca about the importance of understanding AI.

"Being able to go into a race where you are a rookie, it opened me up to take chances I wouldn't necessarily take. In the marathon, I felt like I got so scared of failing that I was really hesitant to make any moves, try anything big, or go for it. It was like a protective thing. 'I just want to play it safe so I can race as well as possible but not risk anything.' I think with this one, I went into this with nothing to lose. I'm gonna go out and try to race as well as I can and race hard and I know I'll probably make mistakes, but so what?" Earlier this year, Molly Seidel — the Tokyo Olympic bronze medalist in the marathon — went all-in on ultra running, earning a Golden Ticket to the prestigious 2026 Western States Endurance Run 100-miler. In this episode, Molly recaps her 100-mile debut, reflecting on the highs, lows, river crossings, and more. She finished the race in 24 hours, 29 minutes, and 27 seconds. She was the 28th woman to cross the line, and came in 141st out of 323 finishers. And we're joined by a special guest: Molly's girlfriend, Molly Reidy!

pWotD Episode 3351: Naomi Osaka Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 340,925 views on Sunday, 5 July 2026 our article of the day is Naomi Osaka.Naomi Osaka (Japanese pronunciation: [oːsaka naomi]; born October 16, 1997) is a Japanese professional tennis player. She was ranked as the world No. 1 in women's singles by the WTA for 25 weeks starting in January 2019, the first Asian player to hold the top ranking in singles. Osaka has won seven career singles titles, including four majors: two each at the Australian Open and the US Open. She is the first Japanese player to win a major singles title.Born in Japan to a Haitian-American father and a Japanese mother, Osaka has lived and trained in the United States since age three. She came to prominence at age 16 when she defeated former US Open champion Samantha Stosur in her WTA Tour debut at the 2014 Stanford Classic. Two years later, she reached her first WTA final at the 2016 Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo and entered the top 50 of the WTA rankings. Osaka broke into the upper echelon of women's tennis in 2018, winning her first Tour title at the Indian Wells Open, then defeating Serena Williams in the final of the US Open. After winning the Australian Open in early 2019, she reached the world No. 1 ranking for the first time. Following two more major titles, in 2021, Osaka suffered from depression and other issues, which led to a publicly scrutinized retirement from the French Open and withdrawal from Wimbledon. She took maternity leave in 2023, returning to competition in 2024.Osaka is one of the world's most marketable athletes. In 2020, she ranked eighth among athletes in endorsement income and had the highest-ever annual income of any female athlete. Osaka is also recognized as an activist, having showed support for the Black Lives Matter protests. She was named one of the 2020 Sports Illustrated Sportspersons of the Year for her activism, particularly during her US Open championship run, and was included on Time's annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2019, 2020, and 2021. Osaka was the 2021 Laureus World Sportswoman of the Year. At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, she became the first tennis player to light the Olympic cauldron during the opening ceremony.On the court, Osaka has an aggressive playing style with a powerful serve that can reach 201 kilometers per hour (125 mph).This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 03:01 UTC on Monday, 6 July 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Naomi Osaka on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Kimberly.

Today, we are joined by two-time Judo Olympian, Colton Brown, who shares his story of dedication, hard work, and success. Colton started Judo at 7-years old, and despite his disinterest in the sport originally, Colton learned from his losses to become one of the best in the country. Colton is a two-time Olympian who competed in the Rio and Tokyo Olympics (2016 & 2021, respectively) and was a three-time National champion at San Jose St., where he captained the team for his entire tenure. Colton's recipe to success is straight forward; he will outwork you. This, mixed with his genuine care for his people, has allowed for success also in business. Colton is the founder and owner of Colton Brown Training Center, in Warren NJ. The gym boasts an impressive growth of 500 members in 4 years. We have included links below if you are interested in joining.

She ran 1:57 in an Olympic final as an afterthought—then walked away, rebuilt everything, and came back faster.  Alex Bell isn't just reinventing herself; she's finally becoming who she was supposed to be.In this conversation, Alex takes Dominic through one of British running's most unlikely second acts. She opens about the moment she crossed the finish line in Tokyo and knew (lying on her back; a million feelings at once) that she would never run 1:57 again. She talks honestly about the mental health toll of years spent as an unfunded elite, working police shifts and retail while competing at Diamond League level–and why she needed to step away from the sport entirely before she could fall back in love with it. Now, under coach Andrew Henderson at Leeds Beckett, she's averaging 85 miles a week (double what she ran at the peak of her 800m career) and her body has never felt better. She breaks down the training shift in real terms: double threshold days, long canal runs with 20-plus athletes on Sunday mornings, and the kind of joy she says she never once felt standing on a track start line. She describes pacing the 2026 TCS London Marathon, watching the world record fall from the inside, and coming home the next day to hand in her notice. The marathon debut is coming in February. LA 2028 is the dream. And she is, by her own admission, just getting started.Tap into the Alex Bell Special.If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review! 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/3ua62ffzInstagram: @alexbell1992 

pWotD Episode 3323: Alexander Zverev Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 476,702 views on Sunday, 7 June 2026 our article of the day is Alexander Zverev.Alexander "Sascha" Zverev (German pronunciation: [alɛkˈsandɐ ˈzaʃa ˈzvɛʁɛf]; born 20 April 1997) is a German professional tennis player and the current world No. 3. He has been ranked as high as world No. 2 in men's singles by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), achieved in June 2022. Zverev has won 25 ATP Tour–level titles in singles, including a major at the 2026 French Open, and three trophies in doubles. He has also won a gold medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and the 2018 and the 2021 ATP Finals.Zverev is a former junior world No. 1, and won a junior major singles title at the 2014 Australian Open. He had an early breakthrough on the professional tour, becoming one of the youngest ATP Challenger Tour title winners in history at the age of 17. As a teenager, Zverev won two ATP titles and upset then–world No. 3 Roger Federer on grass. At 20 years old, he became the youngest player to debut in the top 20 since Novak Djokovic. At the Laver Cup, Zverev played an instrumental role in Team Europe's early success, winning the clinching matches in 2018 and 2019. After reaching his career-best results in 2021 and 2022, he suffered an ankle injury at the French Open, from which he recovered to re-enter the top 10 the following year, and has remained among the top players since 2024. He won his first major title at the French Open in 2026.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 03:10 UTC on Monday, 8 June 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Alexander Zverev on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Niamh.

Guests: Blue Jays icons Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion; Jays pitchers Chad Dallas and Simeon Woods Richardson This week in Deep Left Field, we look back at a bleak Week That Was for the Blue Jays, and then bring you back to happier times. You'll hear from Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion, who discuss their glory days as running mates with the Jays in the 2010s, culminating with each of them hitting a massive post-season home run for the franchise in back-to-back seasons. You'll meet right-hander Chad Dallas, who is expected to make his major-league debut for the Jays on Thursday night in Atlanta, and we'll step into the wayback machine to bring you a conversation with the newly-reacquired Simeon Woods Richardson. We spoke to Richardson when he was a Jays' farmhand in 2021, about to pitch for Team USA at the Tokyo Olympics and only weeks away from being traded to the Minnesota Twins in the Jose Berrios deal. All that, plus your thoughts in the mailbag at deepleftfield@thestar.ca!

NCAA Champion Anna Moesch turned heads last weekend when, at the AP Swim International, she clocked a 51.94 100 Freestyle. This was not only a new American record, but it was the first time a woman had dipped under the 52-second barrier since the 2020 Tokyo Olympics (in 2021) when Emma McKeon won gold in 51.96. This made Moesch the #2 performer all-time in the event at the time, a position she has since ceded to Marrit Steenbergen, who went 51.86 just days later in Canet, France. Moesch came on the SwimSwam Podcast and revealed what her last year has looked like. Last summer, Moesch missed qualifying for the US National team by one place and subsequently told her coach, Todd DeSorbo, that she never wanted that to happen again. Moesch has been putting a much bigger emphasis on threshold and middle distance training this year, even going into longer IM groups once or twice per week, in favor of just focusing on sprint training. This appears to have shown up in the back half of her races, specifically in her 51.9 100 free, where she came home in 26.7.

“By the time we get there, I don't think we'll leave any stone unturned for the first one. There's still room to grow, but I do think I'll be very ready.”My guest for today's episode is Emma Grace Hurley: an ASICS athlete and one of the most consistent American road racers of the last two years. She trains under Andrew and Amy Begley at Heartland Track Club in Indianapolis, and in 2026 she has already set the American Record at 8K (24:29 at the Shamrock Shuffle), won the USATF 10-Mile title at Cherry Blossom, won the 25K title at the Gate River Run and finished second at the USATF 5K Championships in her own city, running 15:00 flat to miss the sub-15 barrier by four-tenths of a second.She is also, as of this week, officially confirmed as one of the scoring members of the U.S. half marathon team for Copenhagen — one of the three athletes who were misdirected in the closing mile of the USATF Half Marathon Championships in Atlanta in March. World Athletics granted a special exception that will allow seven American women to compete, with Jess McClain, Emma Grace, and Ednah Kurgat as the scoring athletes alongside Weini Kelati. The top three official finishers — Molly Born, Carrie Ellwood, and Annie Rodenfels — will make their international debuts as non-scoring athletes.What makes Emma Grace one of the more interesting stories in American distance running right now is the shape of her career. She graduated from Furman in 2020 with a 15:57 5K personal best, quit running entirely, took a client associate job at JP Morgan, and did not think she was coming back to the sport. She is now a 15:00 road 5K runner, an 8K American record holder, a national 10-mile champion, and a two-event Worlds qualifier. She has not run a marathon yet — it's happening this fall.In this conversation, recorded in Brooklyn, we get into all of it: what it actually took to bounce back after Atlanta and immediately set a national record three weeks later, why she doesn't love the track but is a 15-flat road 5K runner, the Cherry Blossom 10-mile where she lost the overall by one second to a woman who finished seventh in the 10,000m at the Tokyo Olympics, the moment she finally felt like the long slow build was paying off, and what scares her most about the marathon block ahead.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez⁠Guest: Emma Grace Hurley | @emmagracehurleyProduced by: Jasmine Fehr |⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr⁠____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSXENDURANCE: Xendurance Protein is designed specifically to help your body recover, rebuild, and get stronger after training.

Want to live longer, sleep better, and feel sharper? Start walking. Dr. Courtney Conley is here to show you how to make every step pay compound interest.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1322What We Discuss with Courtney Conley:Walking isn't optional cardio you bolt onto your week — it's a core biological input on par with breathing and sleeping. Courtney Conley argues we've engineered it out of daily life, with the average person logging just 4,700 steps a day, running what amounts to a slow systems failure on the body.The longevity sweet spot is 7,000 to 8,000 steps per day, not the famous 10,000 — that number was literally a marketing campaign for a Japanese pedometer during the Tokyo Olympics, with zero science behind it. Past 10,000 to 12,000 steps, the benefits plateau hard.A 10 to 15 minute walk within 30 minutes of eating is a metabolic cheat code. Muscle contraction pulls glucose out of your bloodstream alongside the pancreas — sit after a meal and you're only using half your blood-sugar regulation system, which is brutal news for anyone with insulin resistance.Your toes are a longevity marker hiding in plain sight. Toe strength declines before grip strength, correlates with glucose levels, and predicts falls as you age — and the foot loses sensitivity so dramatically that by age 80 it takes 75% more pressure to stimulate the same sensory receptors as it did at 50.Start with a five-minute "micro walk" — that's roughly 500 steps, and for sedentary folks under 2,500 daily steps, that tiny addition meaningfully decreases all-cause mortality. Pair it with a post-meal walk and a "relationship walk" with a spouse, kid, or friend, and you've stacked metabolic, mental health, and social benefits into one ridiculously simple habit.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

Welcome back to Truth, Lies & Work, the award-winning podcast where behavioral science meets workplace culture, brought to you by the HubSpot Podcast Network. This week, Al and Leanne are joined by Danni Mohammed, founder of the creative and innovation practice Gentle Forces. Danni has spent her career at some of the world's most iconic agencies—including Saatchi & Saatchi and WPP—but she's now doing something genuinely radical: running a global innovation firm with just two job titles. Danni explores why traditional hierarchies might be holding your team back, how to balance the "chaos" of creativity with the "order" of delivery, and why her team describes their workplace as "calm" despite tackling some of the biggest brand challenges on the planet.

Just days after celebrating her 19th birthday, Quan Hongchan — a three-time Olympic gold medalist recognized around the world — found herself at the center of a wave of online abuse, prompting Chinese authorities to step in with a co-ordinated response.刚刚庆祝完19岁生日之后，三枚奥运金牌得主、享誉世界的全红婵发现自己成为了一波网络暴力 的中心，促使中国有关部门采取协同应对措施介入。In statements released on Wednesday, the Ersha Sports Training Center of Guangdong and the Swimming Management Center of the General Administration of Sport of China confirmed they had launched investigations into cyberbullying, malicious attacks and the spread of false information targeting Quan and other members of the national diving team.在周三发布的声明中，广东二沙体育训练中心和国家体育总局游泳管理中心确认，已针对全红婵及国家跳水队其他成员所遭受的网络欺凌、恶意攻击和虚假信息传播展开调查。The cases have been reported to police.相关案件已向警方报案。The national swimming authority said it is working with relevant departments in Guangdong province, Quan's home region, to verify and handle the matter.国家游泳管理部门表示，正在与全红婵家乡广东省的相关部门合作，核实并处理此事。It pledged a zero-tolerance approach, stating that any violations would be dealt with "seriously and without leniency".管理部门承诺采取零容忍态度，表示任何违规行为都将“严肃处理，绝不姑息”。Quan rose to international prominence at the Tokyo Olympics, where, at the age of 14, she won gold, before going on to secure two more titles at the Paris Olympics.全红婵在东京奥运会上一举成名，当时年仅14岁的她夺得金牌，随后又在巴黎奥运会上再获两枚金牌。In recent interviews, she has spoken candidly about the pressures she has faced away from the pool.在最近的采访中，她坦率地谈到了自己在赛场之外所面临的压力。Since Paris, Quan has undergone a natural growth spurt, increasing her height by around 10 centimeters and gaining approximately eight kilograms.自巴黎奥运会以来，全红婵经历了自然的生长发育期，身高增加了约10厘米，体重增加了约8公斤。In a sport where body control and weight are closely linked to performance, such changes, while normal, have become the focus of sustained online scrutiny.在一项身体控制和体重与表现密切相关的运动中，这种变化虽然正常，却成为了网络上持续关注的焦点。During the 2025 World Cup season, Quan said she was repeatedly labeled "fat" on social media.在2025年世界杯赛季期间，全红婵表示自己在社交媒体上反复被贴上“胖”的标签。"People keep saying my weight is too heavy," she said in a recent magazine interview.“人们一直说我体重太重了，”她在最近的一次杂志采访中说道。"I am terrified of the scale now because so many people are saying I am fat."“我现在很害怕上秤，因为有太多人说我很胖。”She added that the scrutiny extended beyond competition into daily life. "Not just within the team, but also in public, every day people would say I was fat," she said.她还补充说，这种 网络暴力从比赛延伸到了日常生活中。“不仅是在队里，而且在公共场合，每天都有人说我胖，”她说道。Quan said the experience affected her both physically and mentally, leading to anxiety, sleep difficulties and recurring nightmares. At one point, she considered retiring from the sport.全红婵表示，这段经历对她的身心都造成了影响，导致她焦虑、睡眠困难和反复做噩梦。她一度考虑退役。Under sustained pressure, she also restricted her diet and continued training, despite episodes of dizziness.在持续的压力下，她还限制饮食并坚持训练，尽管出现了头晕的症状。Reflecting on the eve of 2026 New Year, she said she spent the evening quietly at home.回顾2026年新年前夜，她说自己是在家中安静度过的。"I hope for happiness," she said. "But even more, I hope that those who attack me stop cursing at me, stop cursing my family, and stop cursing my friends."“我希望得到快乐，”她说，“但我更希望那些攻击我的人不要再骂我，不要再骂我的家人，也不要再骂我的朋友。”In its statement, the Guangdong-based Ersha center described the online attacks as placing "undue public pressure on, and causing psychological harm to" the athlete.广东二沙中心在声明中指出，这些网络攻击给运动员造成了“过度的公众压力和心理伤害”。It warned that defamation, abusive language and the deliberate spreading of false information targeting athletes and their families crosses legal and ethical boundaries, disrupts training and daily life and undermines the sporting environment.该中心警告说，针对运动员及其家人的诽谤、辱骂性语言和故意传播虚假信息的行为跨越了法律和道德界限，扰乱了训练和日常生活，并破坏了体育环境。The center issued its statement under the title "Say a resolute 'no' to toxic fandom culture", calling for greater restraint online and a return to respect for athletes' efforts and achievements.该中心以“坚决对畸形饭圈文化说‘不'”为题发布了声明，呼吁网上更加克制，回归对运动员努力和成就的尊重。It said it would pursue those responsible for such attacks and ensure they face legal accountability.该中心表示，将追究那些对此类攻击负责的人，并确保他们承担法律责任。The national swimming authority echoed the concerns, warning against the influence of extreme "fan circle" culture in sport.国家游泳管理部门也表达了同样的担忧，警告极端“饭圈”文化对体育的影响。It said that such behavior harms athletes' well-being and affects the image of China's national teams, pledging to strengthen protection systems, including mental health support and public education.该部门表示，这种行为损害了运动员的身心健康，影响了国家队的形象，并承诺加强保护体系，包括心理健康支持和公众教育。The case has drawn wider attention to the impact of online abuse on athletes, particularly younger competitors navigating both elite sport and personal development under intense public scrutiny.此案引发了更广泛的关注，即网络 暴力 对运动员的影响，尤其是那些在公众密切关注下同时应对精英体育和个人成长的年轻选手。Similar incidents have affected other high-profile athletes in recent years, including Quan's diving teammate Chen Yuxi, table tennis players Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin, and volleyball player Zhu Ting.近年来，类似事件也影响了其他知名运动员，包括全红婵的跳水队友陈芋汐、乒乓球运动员樊振东和王楚钦，以及排球运动员朱婷。Fan and Wang, in particular, have faced repeated incidents of privacy violations and coordinated online abuse. Fan has publicly condemned individuals who leaked his personal identification and travel details, while Wang has encountered crowding and harassment at airports, alongside persistent online attacks fueled by rival fan groups.尤其是樊振东和王楚钦，多次遭遇隐私泄露和有组织的网络 暴力。樊振东公开谴责了泄露其个人身份信息和行程细节的人，而王楚钦则在机场遭遇过围堵和骚扰，同时还面临着对立粉丝群体煽动的持续网络攻击。Both athletes have issued formal appeals urging the public to respect their personal boundaries, underscoring how such behavior has disrupted their daily lives and training routines.两位运动员都已正式呼吁公众尊重他们的个人边界，强调此类行为如何干扰了他们的日常生活和训练常规。Weighing in on the issue, the Procuratorate Daily said the case highlights a governance challenge: the relatively low cost of committing online abuse, compared with the higher cost of defending one's rights.《检察日报》就此问题发表评论指出，此案凸显了一个治理难题：实施网络 暴力 的成本相对较低，而维权的成本却较高。The publication called on online platforms to strengthen supervision, prioritize the protection of personal rights and curb the spread of harmful content at its source. It also urged judicial authorities to enhance enforcement to improve deterrence, including clarifying the responsibilities of administrators of online groups.该报呼吁网络平台加强监管，优先保护个人权利，并从源头上遏制有害内容的传播。它还敦促司法机关加强执法以提高威慑力，包括明确网络群组管理者的责任。Legal experts said those responsible for online abuse could face civil, administrative and criminal liability.法律专家表示，那些对网络暴力负有责任的人可能面临民事、行政和刑事责任。Zhao Liangshan, a senior partner at a law firm in Shaanxi province, said victims may seek to halt infringements, request public apologies and claim compensation under civil law.陕西省某律师事务所高级合伙人赵良善表示，受害者可以依据民法要求停止侵害、请求公开道歉和索赔。In more serious cases, offenders could face detention, fines or criminal charges such as defamation, which can carry a penalty of up to three years in prison.在更严重的情况下，违法者可能面临拘留、罚款或诽谤等刑事指控，最高可判处三年监禁。He added that individuals or accounts that organize or incite coordinated online attacks may bear heavier legal responsibility.他补充说，组织或煽动有组织网络攻击的个人或账号可能承担更重的法律责任。Local police said Quan's case remains under investigation. Authorities said the response reflects broader efforts to address online misconduct in the sports sector and to foster a more orderly and respectful environment for athletes.当地警方表示，全红婵的案件仍在调查中。有关部门表示，此次回应反映了在体育领域应对网络不当行为、为运动员营造更有序、更受尊重的环境的广泛努力。resilience /rɪˈzɪliəns/ — 韧性，复原力scrutiny /ˈskruːtəni/ — scrutinizing 审视，仔细检查（文中指公众的密切关注和挑剔）leniency /ˈliːniənsi/ — 宽大，仁慈（文中“without leniency”即“绝不姑息”）accountability /əˌkaʊntəˈbɪləti/ — accountability 责任，问责（文中指让施暴者承担法律责任）

Eli Hemming: From Olympic Triathlon to Trail Ultras, UTMB Goals, and the Joshua Tree TraverseRyan Maguire sits down with Eli Hemming, former elite professional triathlete turned trail runner, for a wide-ranging conversation about reinvention, endurance, and what drives an athlete when the Olympic dream doesn't pan out the way you planned.Eli grew up in triathlon literally from birth. His mom was a triathlete and swim coach, and he was racing by age seven. What started as something social and skill-based eventually evolved into elite draft-legal Olympic-distance racing on the international circuit. He came within reach of the Tokyo Olympics before a broken foot derailed his qualification, and when he looked ahead at another four-year grind toward Paris, with all the travel and time away from family it would require, he decided it wasn't worth it.What came next surprised even him. A race in Buena Vista, Colorado cracked open a new world, and trail running took hold fast. He found a coach in David Roche, started stacking results, and eventually ended up toeing the line against Roche himself at the Broken Arrow Skyrace, a moment that captures just how quickly his trajectory shifted.Ryan and Eli also get into his relationship with his wife Tabor, their shared Adidas sponsorship, and a Joshua Tree traverse FKT attempt the two are chasing together. They dig into what makes Joshua Tree such a singular and strange place to run, and why the project matters to both of them personally.On the racing front, Eli's 2026 calendar includes Black Canyon 100K and a return to Desert Rats 100K, where Ryan first spotted him, to earn his way into UTMB week races. UTMB itself is the long-term goal, even though he's only raced up to 100K so far. His best trail performance to date? OCC during UTMB week in Chamonix, and he lights up talking about the atmosphere there.The conversation also gets honest about the harder parts of moving up in distance, overheating issues, a fried hypothalamus affecting heat regulation, fueling and hydration mistakes, and how his training philosophy is evolving around high volume without necessarily high mileage, muscular endurance work, and staying adaptable.

Crystelle is currently training at Park Wrekin gymnastics club alongside Tokyo Olympic medalist Alice Kinsella. And this is her story.

It's been almost a full century since Ojibwe hockey player Taffy Abel first set foot on the ice as a New York Rangers defenseman. It was a historic moment that was not acknowledged at the time in the professional hockey world or even by Abel himself. At the time, he kept his Native American identity a secret — at first to escape the forced attendance at Indian Boarding Schools, then later to avoid the discrimination that could hinder his career. Now, his descendants want him recognized, after the fact, as the man who broke the pro hockey color barrier. Abel carried the American flag in the first Winter Olympics in 1924. He went on to help both the Rangers and the Chicago Blackhawks win Stanley Cup championships. GUESTS Aaron Payment (Sault Ste.

Sometimes the most coolest moments in sport arrive by accident. When Julia Paternain crossed the finish line of the Tokyo World Championships marathon, she wasn't thinking about history and she wasn't even sure the race was over. Yet in that instant of disbelief, she had just given Uruguay its first-ever World Championships medal.In just her second marathon, the 25-year-old stunned the world with a fearless run, climbing from 15th place at halfway to finish third in 2:27:23 behind legends Tokyo Olympic champion Peres Jepchirchir of Kenya and former world record holder Tigist Assefa of Ethiopia. For a runner once who was among the last ones qualified for the championships, the bronze was unthinkable — and unforgettable.Born in Mexico, raised in England, tested in the NCAA system in the U.S., and now calling Flagstaff home, Paternain carries a layered identity but an unwavering pride of all those places. And with her medal, a nation of three million found itself on the global podium for the very first time.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠⁠⁠Guest: Julia Paternain | @juliapaternain_ on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr |⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠____________PRESENTED BY ASICSFor the third consecutive year, CITIUS MAG is proud to partner with ASICS for our global championship coverage.
