It seems that there are moments in sport that, while rare, find a way of universally resonating. Tying both fans and non fans together, sweeping up even the most apathetic viewer. One that immediately comes to mind is the game winning goal scored in overtime by Sidney Crosby at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, winning the gold medal in front of a nation looking nervously on. Another one, equally significant for me, is from last summer's olympic games, watching as race walker Evan Dunfee battled for 3rd with about a kilometer left in the 50km race walk event, appearing to give everything he had within himself, walking himself to the verge of collapse, even when the medal was out of reach. Looking back, it's what I imagine the Greek soldier Pheidippides looked like as he completed his famed journey from the battle of Marathon to Athens. It's with that imagery, I tell you that Evan joins us on the show this week to talk about training, racing, finding balance and even a little bit of the business side of things.
