Diamond League Rabat delivered fireworks: Kenny Bednarek ran 19.69 in the 200m, El Bakkali got the big win as Frederik Ruppert became the first non-African-born man to break 8:00 in the steeplechase, and Yared Nuguse won his fifth Diamond League race before his big showdown with Cam Myers in Stockholm.

The hosts debate whether Cam Myers can break the world record at Stockholm, break down Cooper Lutkenhaus's Diamond League debut, and ask if Keely Hodgkinson will greak the 800m world record this summer.

Then Tyler Andrews @68:50 joins to tell the incredible story of his record-breaking 9-hour-55-minute ascent of Mount Everest from base camp to summit — his seventh attempt — and what it took to get there.
