Tianna Bartoletta is an extremely talented athlete, and a thoughtful commentator and observer on the athletic world. I found my interview with Tianna to be enlightening. Tianna has thoughtul comments on topics such as systemic racism, challenges of women in sports, training in the pandemic, and elite training.
In this clip #4, we spoke with Tianna Bartoletta, and we asked her to speak about the Wherabouts Testing system. We were trying understand the recent increase in wherabouts screw ups by elite athletes.
Special thanks to Mike Deering /The Shoe Addicts for managing the production of Socialing the Distance.
