#34 - Diamond Duels, Continental Contests, and Historic Hustles: The Final Month of an Epic, Herculean Season

Send us Fan MailDISCLAIMER: This is not the episode for the pedantic. This is not the Diamond League review for those with photographic memories. Steer away, those of you with encyclopaedic athletics' knowledge looking for a factually-accurate review of the Continental Cup. This is a look back at some spectacular results, some thrilling contests, and some extraordinarily confusing scoring systems at the end of what's been a doozy of a season, but the only world record in danger of falling during this recording session was that for most forgotten athlete names and most frequent laughter by trio of track and field fans within a 90-minute window. Team Backstraight discuss the Diamond League Finals, Continental Cup, and heroics of Kevin Mayer and Eliud Kipchoge. We had a blast reflecting upon it all, and we hope you enjoy yourselves listening.
