EP3: Heroic Pole Vault WR, DQ for “jostling” & Rick’s Anime Fascination

The Running Channel Podcast

Welcome to Day 3 of 10 Days in Tokyo! In this special limited series of The Running Channel podcast, Sarah, Rick and Andy unpack all the action from the World Athletics Championships - along with exclusive behind-the-scenes insights from the team.

Mondo Duplantis stunned a sold-out stadium by claiming his third consecutive outdoor World Championships gold and setting his 14th world record in the pole vault. Meanwhile, Cole Hocker (who Rick tipped to win the 1500m) was disqualified for ‘jostling.’

'What do the podcast team do in their spare time?' we hear you ask... Well, Rick spent the day immersing himself in Japanese culture, learning about Anime, the hand-drawn and computer-generated animation style that originated in Japan.
