What suit was he wearing last night?
Can we let these athletes cool down before they go to interviews? The poor guy is still huffing and puffing after the race and NBC interview and now this. Let’s take care of these athletes, they have a long week ahead.
NBC too focused on the production 🙁
Ye$, it i$ mo$tly about the money & pre$tige for them, $adly
Honestly, this is super refreshing to hear. What other athletes keep injuries virtually private from the world for almost 3 years? No excuses made, purely focused on the Olympic goal. Much respect for Chase.
no excuses? he said he wasnt tapering for 2019 worlds
How is having an injury an excuse? I mean it is an excuse, but it’s a good one
ah it makes sense now
nice interview!
