Matt Ludwig’s Olympics journey lasted all of two days. It began in Akron, Ohio with a phone call on Wednesday night and ended on a pole vault mat in Tokyo on Friday.

Lindsay Czarniak is joined by Lolo Jones and Kerri Walsh Jennings for an honest conversation about the mindset of an athlete. They discuss the impact of the Olympic delay and explain why momentum is a big buzz word.

Track and field Day 3 events include finals in the men’s 100m, women’s shot put, women’s triple jump and men’s high jump; men’s 400m hurdles semis; and more.
