Well said. Especially after his Olympic 10,000 and his indoor 5,000 AR, he should be the face of US distance running. He’s articulate, appears to be a stand-up guy, and really seems like the kind of athlete we should want younger runners to emulate.
To add: Yes any company that made the dragonfly would've released them. But only Nike has a huge influence on the athletics federations. If another company had released them, the outcome may have been very different.
These super shoes that are out now, wouldn’t make the average runner any faster. As long as all the elite runners have the opportunity to wear them, then the playing field is level. Ps, Love Grant!! This guy gets me excited when he’s in a big race! So much TALENT!!!!
I feel like the most important aspect of this gets overlooked - the cost! It sucks to be a runner and feel that you need to drop $250 on a marathon shoe or $150 on a spike just to get to an even playing field. Just lining the pockets of these companies to get to where we were to start.
If you or the manufacturers or your regulating authorities good care they could set up tiles large cohort probably Racers sublet Racers average Racers beginning racers the same race with and without the Fancy Shoes different conditions repeat the trials but that's nobody's real self-interest is it
If these Nike and other shoe companies make such high-quality products and make that are so expensive and they make so much money on get out of get out of the slave labor business.. Manufacture them in the USA or other countries that are not oppressive. Yeah I know fat chance. And these lightweights doing the interview won't say anything either.
Big fan of Grant. Hard worker and a well-spoken advocate for the sport.
Always love seeing Grant in interviews, very well spoken and definitely someone who deserves to be on the front page of the sport.
