![🗣️ “I think I did everything I could and I covered every move right, [Audrey] was just very strong today.” In the midst of a summer full of ups and downs, Keely Hodgkinson laid it all on the line today in Birmingham, but her Swiss rival Audrey Werro just had a bit more in the tank to get across the line. Hodgkinson earned silver over 800m at the European Championships, running 1:55.01 to claim her third consecutive medal at this stage. 🎥 FULL INTERVIEW:](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2088398173337215013/amplify_video_thumb/2088398113417400321/img/jp_lkoJGoEzgC9tV.jpg)

🗣️ “When she runs 7, 8 — sometimes, very rarely, 10 — kilometers, it’s around 5:30 or even 5:45 per kilometer. For us, it was really important to follow the physiological component....Because it was really important that this aerobic part would not lead to overtraining and then get in the way of other qualities.” In a new episode of The CITIUS MAG Podcast, coach Laurent Meuwly dives into why Femke Broeders-Bol's training is different from what others may expect. He firmly believes that Femke’s biggest strength — and what separates her from every other 800m runner right now — is her incredible speed. But aerobically, she still has plenty of room to improve. The long-term goal is to gradually build her aerobic base and raise her ceiling without sacrificing the speed that makes her so dangerous over 800m.

🗣️ “I should stick with them and be with them at 700m, and then see if I can change gears. If I made a mistake, that’s it.” Even though equaling the Dutch record of 1:55:54 and coming away with an 800m European bronze is an impressive feat, Femke Broeders-Bol is still learning the ropes of this whole “two lap” thing. The reigning World champion over 400mH held her own in her first championship final at 800m, battling down the home straight with Audrey Werro and Keely Hodgkinson in Birmingham. 🎥 FULL INTERVIEW:

🗣️ “It’s been a rough couple of weeks.

I was like, ‘Yeah, that needs to happen.’” After winning the Olympic 100m gold medal, Noah Lyles, OLY is hoping that he can get his own signature shoe – not spike – shoe. 🎥 FULL PRESS CONFERENCE: #Paris2024 #Olympics #Athletics

🗣️ “I have a pretty big engine. I used to run cross country. I put a lot of mileage in, a lot of stuff like that. So when I dropped down to an 800, 1500 runner before, and then I dropped down to the 400 and worked on foot speed and a lot of jumps, I always had the strength.” You know what they say: Strength = speed 🤷♂️ After winning the 400m Olympic title, Quincy Hall shares that he actually used to be a cross country runner before dropping down to the middle distance events, and ultimately, the sprints. 🎥 Full press conference:
