We hear about Xylon’s traipsing around the world before we discuss a listener email about women outperforming men. We then look at some observations from the World Cup, including some NFL players wanting stadiums to keep the grass from the World Cup. We then look at some happenings from Prefontaine Classic, Yared Nuguse racing London Diamond League and John Korir racing Valencia Marathon. We briefly take a look at the Tour de France before looking at GOATs unretiring and a paper showing men are twice as likely to hit the wall in the marathon than women.
