It was as a spicy day of qualifying madness and heart-wrenching finals! But what feels like it should be an Olympic event that isn’t? Dana keeping Chris and Kyle on track. Some favorites getting the job done while others falter. Team Torch Talk had a celebrity sighting of our own as we battle sleep deprivation, but there was plenty of energy to discuss the Men’s Discus, Women’s 100m, Mixed Gender 4×400 relay, Women’s shot put and all the exciting prelims that happened on whatever channel you can find the races on.

Also discussed in this episode:

-Energetic celebrations and fashion statements

– Our parting thoughts on the mixed relay

-The battle of the 19-year-olds Athing Mu and Keely Hodgkinson
