How 'The Bachelor' Star Matt James Became A Huge Track and Field Fan | CITIUS MAG LIVE IN EUGENE!

“I just want to get the word out, because I feel like if people understood and knew the length of work and how impressive it is, I think you’d have people as stoked as I am to be out here.”

Matt James, the former "Bachelor" star and track and field super fan, flew all the way to Eugene just to watch the races at the Olympic Trials. Matt shares about how he became a track and field fan, what it was like running with Shalane Flanagan and other legends, his favorite track and field rivalries, and predictions for the Olympics. Hear more from Matt James in this episode of the CITIUS MAG Podcast.
