A few things ...
-- Nick Symmonds apparently received some criticism for the way he was grandfathered into this year's USA Track & Field Outdoor Championships.
Symmonds uses his latest vlog to respond to the critics and to take viewers through a lifting session as he prepares for the meet, which unfolds next week in Sacramento.
I'm fully onboard with Symmonds about this. All he is done is follow the rules as written.
Moreover, he is exactly what U.S. track & field is crying out for: an athlete with the talent, smarts and creative chops to promote himself.
