To get this as a podcast, join the Supporters Club today: https://letsrun.com/subscribe Australia's national championships delivered two stunning 1500-meter races that might have reshaped the global landscape heading into the summer. Nineteen-year-old Cam Myers soloed a 3:29.85 from the front — a wire-to-wire masterclass almost no one in history has matched. In the women's final, Claudia Hollingsworth unleashed one of the fastest closing laps ever recorded, clipped Jess Hull in the process, and was disqualified despite crossing first. Sam Mattis finally erased a steroid-tainted 45-year-old American discus record, at a wind-aided facility in Oklahoma that's rewriting the all-time lists. And a New York Post exposé about an NFL coach sparks a heated debate at least from Rojo. 00:00 Intro 02:09 Cam Myers' Men's 1500 Masterclass 07:36 Myers' Perfect 2026 and Summer Preview 11:23 Jakob Comparisons and World Record Rabbit Debate 17:07 Women's 1500: Hull vs Hollingsworth 20:31 The Fall, the DQ, and a Historic Last Lap 26:46 Hollingsworth's Future and Commonwealth Games Selection 35:18 Sam Mattis Breaks the American Discus Record 39:37 Wind Tunnels vs PEDs: The Discus Record Debate 44:29 High School Stars and Arcadia Preview 48:31 Journalism Ethics: Should Reporters Date Their Sources? 56:30 Wrap-Up and What's Ahead

Claudia Hollingsworth beats the reigning world indoor champion in the 1500m with her time of 4:01.30, Hunter-Bell placed second by only 0.22 seconds. #ContinentalTour Coverage presented by On and Fleet Feet Website: http://flosports.link/3p20lTj Subscribe: http://flosports.link/3p4YLQp Get the FloSports iOS app: http://bit.ly/FloTrackiOSApp_9 Follow FloTrack Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FloTrack Twitter: https://twitter.com/flotrack Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/FloTrack
Claudia Hollingsworth is the kind of person who would excel at anything she put her mind to. The 19-year-old Australian is already an Olympic semi-finalist, World Under-20 silver medallist and Australian Champion in the 800m, and she’s just getting started.
In this conversation, we delve into Claudia’s incredible year, what it’s like to train with On Athletics Club Oceania, and how she’s ready to go all in as a professional athlete (with uni studies on the side). You’ll also hear a few quirky facts about Claudia’s passions off the track (hint: pinecones and dead bugs).
Claudia first captured attention at primary school when she was selected for the Pacific School Games and competed at the National Primary Schools Cross Country. But it was when world 5000m bronze medallist Craig Mottram became her coach that her track-and-field career really started to gain momentum. While still at high school, she earned selection for the 2022 World Athletics Championships in Oregon.
This year in a highly competitive 800m field at the Paris Olympics, Claudia wowed the world with a mature, clinical and confident run that saw her come 2nd in her heat and sail straight through to the semi-finals. Sport has always been part of Claudia’s DNA, having been an avid Australian Rules football player with the East Brighton Vampires and the Sandringham Dragons. Although she considered applying to the AFL Women’s draft, ultimately track and field won her heart. --
