Chris Chavez, Preet Majithia and Paul Hof-Mahoney are back for a packed episode covering the biggest throw in fourteen years, a viral North Carolina high school DQ, the Enhanced Games coming up, ATHLOS expanding to two meets, conference championship weekend, and the full Shanghai Diamond League recap.
Discussed in this episode:
- North Carolina 8A State Championships DQ: Mallard Creek anchor Nyan Brown raised five fingers in the final two meters of the four-by-four relay — signaling a fifth consecutive state title — and was immediately DQ’d for unsportsmanlike conduct. The team title went to Jordan High School. The clip has been viewed over nine million times, landed in the New York Times, and the case may be heading to court.
- ATHLOS expands to two meets: The women’s track series returns to Icahn Stadium in New York City on October 2nd and is adding a second international meet.
- Marvin Bracey doping case update: Florida man Paul Askew, who operated under a fake female virtual medical persona, is scheduled to plead guilty on May 26th to sports doping conspiracy.
- Enhanced Games predictions: The Las Vegas event is this weekend. We predict what they end up running and some of the questions we have around the event.
Shanghai Diamond League recap:
- Women’s shot put: Jessica Schilder threw 21.09, the first throw over 21 meters in 14 years.
- 33-year-old Mark English wins in 1:43.85 and steals the win from Kethobogile Haingura, who celebrated early.
- Mohamed Abdullahi wins in 7:25.77 with a move from 600m out. 14 athletes went sub-7:30 in the same race.
- Birke Haylom wins in 3:55.56 in a tactically controlled race
- Tsige Duguma impresses with a 3:55.71 in just her second-ever 1500m. Analyzing Jess Hull’s tactics.
- Shericka Jackson runs 22.07 for her fastest outdoor opener since 2023. Sha’Carri Richardson fourth in 22.42 is still a good sign.
