The Best of February 2020: Predicting the Most Unpredictable Race | 2020 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials Preview

Chris Chavez and Matthew Luke Meyer reunite to recap all of the biggest storylines and news in the sport.

On this episode, we discuss:

  • The Chonky Bois (Nike AlphaFly Next%) were deemed legal by World Athletics and will be on the starting line of the U.S. Olympic marathon trials.
  • What do we make of the rules and is there a stigma attached to those athletes who wear them?
  • Oregon announces the new Hayward Field will honor former track and field legends Steve Prefontaine, Raevyn Rogers, Ashton Eaton and Otis Davis but who else should have a floor named after them? We need more women!
  • Tyreek Hill has no shot of making the U.S. Olympic team and it was a silly Super Bowl media week storyline
  • Mondo Duplantis is breaking the pole vault world record with ease and now there’s a movie in the works on him
  • Buy or sell: Nike unveils the new Team USA uniforms for the 2020 Olympics
  • Running through results: Millrose Games | Ajee Wilson is the gold medal favorite, Donovan Brazier is going to be a problem, Justyn Knight didn’t take a subway for coronavirus concern, Elle Purrier has a tough decision with the 1,500m and 5,000m for outdoors
  • Galen Rupp proved he is back with his 61-minute win at the Sprouts Mesa Half Marathon.
  • The beef between Lopez Lomong and Paul Chelimo through memes, explained
  • U.S. Indoor Track and Field Championships meh after World Indoors was canceled but Bowerman Track Club has a great showing
  • Joshua Cheptegai ran a solo 12:51 world record for the 5K on the roads in Monaco
  • More world records fall with Ethiopia's Ababel Yeshaneh clocking a 64:31 at the RAK Half to take 20 seconds off the half marathon world record.
