On the series finale of TORCH TALK, Chris, Kyle and Dana run through the final day of track and field at the Tokyo Olympics where seven gold medals were handed out in the women’s high jump, the women’s 10,000 meters, the men’s javelin, the men’s 1,500 meters, the men’s and women’s 4x400m relay and the men’s marathon.
