About this episode
The episode discusses St. Louis being selected to host the 2028 U.S. Olympic Team Marathon Trials with insights from key figures involved in the decision.
USA Track & Field and the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee have selected St. Louis, Missouri, to host the 2028 U.S. Olympic Team Marathon Trials. The races will be held on March 25th, 2028, and will be USATF’s first Olympic Team selection event for the 2028 Summer Games. The top three men’s and women’s finishers across the finish line will earn spots on Team USA for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games… as long as they have secured the Olympic qualifying standard or are sitting inside the World Athletics rankings quota within the qualifying window. The Olympic standard has yet to be announced by World Athletics. We spoke with St. Louis Sports Commission President Marc Schreiber, Organizing Committee Co-Chair Jackie Joyner-Kersee, and USATF CEO Max Siegel about why the bid won. ____________ Host: Chris Chavez | @chris_j_chavez Guests: Jackie Joyner-Kersee | @jjoynerkersee + Max Siegel | @maxsiegelinc + Jay Holder | @jayholderruns + Marc Schreiber Produced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr ____________ SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS XENDURANCE: Xendurance Protein is designed specifically to help your body recover, rebuild, and get stronger after training.
