Will Botswana Break Team USA’s 4x400m World Record? + Shanghai DL Preview | The Meet Up 52

from The Meet Up · host FloTrack

In Episode 52 of The Meet Up, Nia Gibson, DeVontae Ford, and Johnny Pace debate whether Botswana can really take down Team USA’s legendary 4x400m world record. The crew breaks down the rise of Botswana sprinting, what makes this squad so dangerous, and whether the record is truly under threat heading toward the World Championships. World-class sprinter Max Thomas also joins the show to discuss his experience at the World Relays and what it was like competing on the global stage. Plus, we preview the Diamond League stop in Shanghai, discuss the biggest matchups to watch, potential breakout performances, and the athletes we’re keeping an eye on this weekend. And of course, we get into even more athletes stepping outside their usual events in what’s quickly becoming the year of the side quests.
