Knicks, Wemby & The Fight for Tennis's Soul

from 1 % Better - Hidden Stories in Sport · host 1% Better Podcast

In a wide ranging episode we discuss a format change to the Tour Down Under, another Diamond League and some craziness in the NBA. This leads us to a discussion of which are the teams where it’s important for them to win periodically for the competitions. We then discuss Capetown marathon, some Football World Cup team news and Parker Valby’s return to the track. Our final topic is the media limits set by players at Rolland Garros, leading us to discuss whether we are at ‘peak sport’ or whether things can keep growing.   (00:00) Introduction(00:16) Medical Question (03:44) Xylon’s Update(04:15) Incidence of Gym Injuries (06:24) David’s Update(09:03) Jaden Merrick Wins Drake Relays (11:18) Community Shoutouts (17:27) Tour Down Under Format Change (19:50) Xiamen Diamond League  (32:35) Wemby & the Knicks  (36:32) Teams Where It’s Important for Them to Win Periodically (37:55) Capetown Marathon (48:43) Football World Cup Teams(55:10) Parker Valby Runs 5000m PB   (56:04) Media Limits at Rolland Garros (1:01:12) Are we at Peak Sport?(1:03:00) Doctor’s Office    (1:04:05) Seen On Social (1:06:55) What We’re WatchingThanks to Precision Fuel and Hydration for their sponsorship, use the link below to get 15% off your first order and support the podcast: https://visit.pfandh.com/1pbIf you’re unsure how which products to use or how to plan your race nutrition check out Precision’s Fuel & Hydration Planner (if you follow this you will have your discount applied automatically on your first order too): https://visit.pfandh.com/1pb-plannerThanks also to Stryd for their sponsorship, check out Stryd:Stryd helps you optimize your training and racing by measuring your running power, providing real-time data to improve efficiency, pace, and performance on any terrain.
