The Gotzis decathlon in Austria is a storied annual event, but another sporting topic keeps popping up at the track this week.
Seems the hotly contested NBA Eastern Conference final between the Toronto Raptors and Milwaukee Bucks is generating a bit of trash talk overseas heading into this weekend’s event.
“I wore my ‘We The North’ shirt to the track today and got in an argument with (decathletes) Lindon Victor and Rico Freimuth about (Raptors star) Kawhi (Leonard) going to L.A. next year,” Gar Leyshon, the coach of Canadian Olympic bronze medallist Damian Warner and a former high school basketball coach, wrote in a text message to The Canadian Press on Friday.
