The London 2017 post event pressers were virtual coaching clinics. The Shoe Addicts were in the front row, filming in HD and also doing live Facebook. I was asking questions, and tried to get each medalist with a chance to speak on their performances, their challenges and their concerns about competing on a World Championship venue with the best athletes in the world!

Nafissatou Thiam, BEL, the Rio 2016 Champ, won in 6,784 points. Carolin Schaefer, GER, 6,696 took the silver, and Annouk Veter, NED, 6,636 NR was bronze medalist.
