This interview demonstrates Ben True's awesomeness. When asked randomly if he has ever tried curling by the Canadian journalist, he describes when he got REALLY into watching curling during some big rivalry in that sport going on back in the 90s. When he is asked what his pump up song would be, he admits to listening to NPR podcasts to zen out. He is honest and straight forward when asked (by the fantastic Jonathan Gault) about his move to the marathon, training, and sponsorships. And when asked by another person at the very end why he got the COVID vaccine when it came out, he says, "'' because I don't want to get COVID, and that's the greatest way of not getting COVID." Talk to True to get the truth. Sound body, sound mind.
All the Best to Ben True and his family....including shoe sponsor! (Lucky #7 Very nice...hard work is paying off....seniority counts maybe lol Enjoy the ride!)
Inwas speaking to Jared Ward today and the same question was also asked. Walked up, hit record, asked him some covid questions, then hit stop and walked off. Jared was like, I've never been asked like that before. Haha
I was disgusted today at the ESPN broadcast, hardly mentioning Ben and ignoring his finish. Disgraceful. The broadcast was better in the early 80s with cameras on cars and bikes shaking. At least they showed the freaking CLOCK in those days. Now its all sorts of BS filler. I would estimate that the majority of viewers were tuning in to see how the Americans were faring. Fail by ESPN.

the "when/why did you get the covid vaccine" reporter goes home devastated after ben's spot-on answer
imagine if he gave the Aaron Rodgers response of "i am immunized"
