🇺🇸 1500m Olympic champion Cole Hocker was asked about possibly attacking Hicham El Guerrouj’s 3:26.00 world record, which has stood since 1998. 💎 Here’s what he said in the press conference before he races in the Lausanne Diamond League tomorrow against Jakob Ingebrigtsen: “Two weeks ago I was a...

Here are some other notable comments from Hocker in the pre-race press conference ⤵️ On how he's viewing the race in Lausanne: "The Olympics is the peak. Everyone knows that in the sport. That's what this season was centered around. I'm the fittest I've ever been and I don't want to leave anything on the table. I hate losing. Every time I race, I want to win. Every race feels very important to me even it's some very small meet in the U.S. in Virginia like I did leading up this year. I put a lot of pressure on each meet and I know how important each one is." On how his relationship with Jakob Ingebrigtsen compares to the Ingebrigtsen's rivalry with Josh Kerr: "I don't think it's the same as those two. I can't get in the ring with those two." On people considering his Olympic victory a shocker: "On paper, it was a 'big upset' 'underdog' and all this stuff. I knew where I was at this season. I knew I was in the shape of my life coming from the U.S. Trials with how that race felt and how it went. It took the right day for me to win (in Paris) and I know I was a medal contender for sure in my head. I knew a gold medal was a possibility. I said that after the U.S. Trials. It's just words until it actually happens but I actually executed on it." "I think of myself as a racer. It's championship racing. It's a lot different than it looked 8 years ago or in the past where it was a sit and kick more style of race. Now, you have to be strong – just extremely strong. I've built that the past two years as best as I could because my strong suit is speed and the shorter end stuff. When I came to my coach, I was an 800/1500m kind of runner. Now I train like a 1500m/5000m runner. I knew I had to be world-class at the 5K to compete with the top guys in the 1500m. Once I was there, I could incorporate my usual race strategies. Now I'm in the mix and I think it was evident that I like racing for the win and not just for the time." Full press conference available for replay here:

Jon Rahm on the LIV format: “Yeah, obviously there’s been a bit of a change. There was a lot more about LIV Golf that was attractive to me, right. Yeah, maybe the format was a set back in the past, but at the same time there’s a lot of positives to it as well. And one of the things that a lot of players kept mentioning is you don’t have a wave weather difference, where you can simply get unlucky and you’re out of contention for that tournament. It’s part of the game, I get it, but it’s something you don’t have to deal with anymore. So that part is a very nice aspect. The team is what really made it for me. Being able to be part of a team, represent a team, play for my teammates, with my teammates and against my teammates, is something that to me that has always been very, very special. When you get a victory to share, it’s always better to have a team to share it with. So it’s what was the most attractive part and when we started discussions it gets to a point where even though I’m ambitious, I’m not greedy. So there’s a give and take and the format is something that I can easily overlook, and I’m pretty sure I can learn to enjoy it, I’ll just have to get used to it, but I’m pretty sure I’ll learn to enjoy it. To be honest, the more I started thinking about it, the more I started thinking about my college days that were 3 day tournaments, 54 holes, and everybody warmed up together for the most part. So it shouldn’t be an environment I’m unfamiliar with.” This is from the LIV podcast called “Fairway to Heaven”. Full link:

I’m recording this about 17 minutes before I hop on a zoom call so what’s your watching here? It’s a lot of what you’re watching. I think most importantly what you’re seeing is me having a good time and enjoying myself I’ve been really paying attention to that you know I can be so formulated formulaic strategic just because of you know the muscle memory of being an artist and a professional that sometimes I forget to you know, laughing and have a good time so the top of the year has been very consistent. You know we talked about the optimism you have come January 1 here we are in March. I’m not sure the date but we’re in March now almost in the first quarter and I’ve been working every single day. I’ve been living every single day but two weeks ago I got sick and I don’t know if it was allergies or whatever or something that was just going around because a few of my collaborators also was out and are still out to this to this day but everyone’s good everyone’s getting rest but that break really jolted me and scared me just how when I take the weekends off to go and live I always have this thought of when I go back on Monday do I still have it? Am I still in that mode that I’ve been feeling? the answer to that question is yes and I say that to say there’s this Producer, who I found on TikTok just because I love keeping my ear to the streets. It’s not good on the back and you shouldn’t keep your ear to the street for too long because it’ll make your back hurt, but it’s worth the pain. I promise you, but I found this Producer and the captain was. I’m making a beat every day and if I miss a day I quit and I sell all of my equipment. I’ve been in the search of just new production. I’m looking for a new bounces of drums and I feel like the youth is where it’s always gonna be at. I take pride in pointing at people who may not have the experience or anything yet but that doesn’t mean that you you don’t have what it takes to change the world or the Sonic’s so I reached out to trippy and I told him yo I’ve been looking for help on drums and swings I’m gonna nerd out for you but like I’m kind of getting tired of hearing the snare on the two and four or a repetitive high hat patterns and what I seen when I seen trvpyyy post well what I heard rather with someone who was taking liberties and swings and bounces, so I shot my shot in DM them got his number and we hopped on a FaceTime call and he told me his name was trippy and immediately I started smiling from the inside and out because I have a friend by the name of trippy who very early on took the chance to say yo I like what you doing I want you to get a front seat of what it’s like to be a superstar and also what it’s like to show love and be a friend and pour into someone so recording this now healthy me and Jason are back in the gym. We had a very strong week I had a very exciting week of being outside and just being with friends and loved ones Lotta late nights but we make sure we still get up in the morning and hit our 3 mile run or our leg days, upper body or full body . The weekends are usually my time to rest and live, but I’m recording live now from the studio excited and ready to play and Jam just because I genuinely love what I do there’s a lot That’s about to happen in a great way actually coming up this week and I’m excited for that but I’m even more excited to have a great time and just have a blast I’m so thankful I’m so present. I’m so appreciative of the life that I lived. I love that I get to speak these things and it gets transcribed in a text but I mean every single word. I love you and I’ll see you later, Playboy it’s about to be a fun week.

Raducanu says that after winning the U.S. Open as a qualifier at age 18, she was always going to have some inevitable lows & challenges to overcome, ‘It was too high to just be going on so early. I think I’ve accepted that’ “That night in New York a few years ago, if someone had said that you’re next 13 Slams you’re only gonna reach the 2nd week once, I think you’d be kind of surprised… is there something around the Slams you need to improve going into it?” Emma: “I think if you also would’ve said when I was 18 that I would be winning that night, I don’t think anyone would expect that either. I think with that achievement you’re inevitably gonna have the same level of, kind of… low. It was too high to just be going on so early. I think I’ve accepted that. All the challenges I’ve faced since and figuring things out and learning by mistakes, learning through experiences.. all of those things I think were in a way gonna happen when you win a Slam at 18 from qualies ranked 350 in the world two months before. I learned a lot for sure… I think there are many iterations going on. I’m slowly figuring out what works for me. At the slams I think I’m doing better. A few times, I had really tough draws as well.. last year. I think doing the day to day and improving myself as a player, which I think I’m doing. But yeah, my form those 3 weeks was unbelievable as well so.. it’s a give and take. But I’ve accepted it.” (via Australian Open Press)

Lamar Jackson says he watched friends chase fast money while he was playing the long game and counting how many years it would take him to reach the NFL “I’m seeing my friends who I was growing up with who I was playing football with… Just throw their life away for fast money and stuff like that. They used to tell me ‘Oh, you talk too much’. Because I used to always speak about football and positivity stuff. They didn’t want to hear that.” “Now it’s like… They’d rather hear it now because I’m Lamar Jackson. But I’ve been speaking about it. Everybody just wasn’t listening. I was already seeing what was going on. I wish we could go back in time and y’all could see what I was seeing. Because I always looked at life like, I counted years.” “Like I would think… ‘How many years does it take to get to the league?’ They’re saying… ‘You do three years in college.’ I said… ‘I’m doing three years.’ I’m not doing four. I’m not trying to go fifth year. I’m doing three years because I’m going to make sure my family is good.” “If you’re coming from a place like where I come from, don’t try to be like the guys around you. Don’t look up to the stuff that looks like it’s fun… Because sometimes it gets you in trouble.” “It’s sacrificing. ‘Man, I can’t have fun right now. I’ve got to get my family right. I can’t do this right now. I can’t mess up.’ Forget the fast money. I’ve got to think about longevity.” “You can get locked up and do five years for $1,000. That money gone. It’s gone. You’re like… ‘Man, I just did that for $1,000…’ And I could have waited five years and I would’ve had $10 million.” “That’s why I’m where I’m at right now. That’s how I used to think. My mom working… She’s busting her behind. It’s me, my brother and my two sisters at home. I’m the oldest…” “So I’ve got to make sure everybody right. And it’s like… Man, I can’t wait, but I’ve got to wait. That’s the sacrifice. I’ve got to be patient. People don’t look at it like that. It’s like… ‘Man, I need that money right now.’ But you don’t need that money right now. Just wait.”

🚨 NEW: Patrick Bet David directly asks Jiang Xueqin about his relationship with the CCP JIANG: “I have a very strict policy of not engaging in Chinese social media. Chinese people and professors have reached out to work with me and I’ve said no. I don’t want to talk to these people because they represent the government and I don’t want to put myself in a position where I’m compromised and have to become a propaganda mouthpiece for the government. My main priority is to maintain my independence and my freedom. I operate in a gray zone in China where I’m not a Chinese citizen so I’m not bound by Chinese surveillance laws and I make content for Westerners so I have a lot more freedom to comment on Western society than if I were living in Western society. Canada has become a very authoritarian society so if I say certain things that I’ve said in Canada it’s possible that I can get visited by the police. I work at a school, and I’m employed by that school, so they have a legal responsibility for me. There was one time that I wrote a Substack essay that mentioned China and I was given a call by the school leadership and asked to take it down. I’m not at liberty to tell you what the content was, but I can tell you that I’m being monitored very heavily. I don’t plan on staying in China long-term. Right now China is very interested in soft power and right now I have a lot of soft power and influence overseas so they want to co-opt me, compromise me, and turn me into a weapon that they can use to promote their agenda overseas and I don’t want to do that.”
