Should Olympians Get Paid? + Ninja Warrior Goes Olympic & NCAA Goes Pro

In a wide ranging episode we discuss some blazing NCAA sprint times and what the professionalisation of college athletics means for the USA. We then cover the controversy around Kirsty Coventry's comments on athlete pay at the Olympics, and whether Olympians should be getting a bigger slice of the pie. We also touch on Ninja Warrior's surprise path to the Olympics, Keely Hodgkinson's lofty multi-event goals, and a record broken on Everest. We close with the Doctor's Office looking at Rafael Nadal's remarkable story of racing through a numb foot and intestinal damage to win the 2022 French Open.(00:00) Introduction(00:15) Medical Question (09:27) Xylon’s Update(13:28) David’s Update(17:37) Community Shoutouts (21:18) Listener Question Healthy Diet (23:19) Correction on TDU from Last Week (26:20) Announcement  (29:56) NBA Draft Changes   (30:50) Biggest Upsets in History  (34:52) Lorena Wiebes Disqualification (38:37) Rest vs Momentum  (40:54) Is Grand Slam Track Coming Back? (42:18) NCAA Track & Professionalism (46:12) Tim Payne (47:08) Mt Everest Record Broken (48:45) Keely Hodgkinson’s Goals (52:17) Is Ninja Warrior Coming to the Olympics?  (54:38) Asics’ Trail Chalet   (56:40) World Atheltics Qualification Standard Changes (1:02:25) Kirtsy Coventry’s Comments and Athlete Pay (1:14:53) Doctor’s Office - Rafael Nadal   (1:16:31) 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.
