Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake was a member of the gold medal winning team at the London World Championships in the 4×100 meters. While all eyes were on Jamaica and the US, GBR, with some strong passing and some amazing running upset the whole chart, and in front of 65,000 delighted British fans. It was a magic moment, especially as the GBR relay teams were getting some grief from the British press.

In meeting with Nethaneel in Las Vegas, at an event sponsored by Global Athletics & Marketing, the management group of said WC gold medalist. RunBlogRun interviewed Nethaneel on his career, and decided to do a couple of videos. I suck at videos, and my apologies, but Nethaneel had some great tips for young sprinters, so listen and watch!
