I get so irritated by Nick Symmonds putting out "Olympic Runner versus ..." videos 😠

He makes it clear literally 10 seconds into every one of his videos that he last raced competitively 5 years ago and is now 30 pounds heavier and not in Olympic caliber running shape. The claim that he’s somehow tricking viewers into thinking this is the fitness level of an actively competing mid distance runner is nonsense.

Also lol, you can’t argue that the dude hasn’t earned his bragging rights. First US runner to medal in the WC in how many years? 5th in the greatest Oly 800m final of all time? The top US half miler for 8 straight years?

You know there's a little x in the upper right of the screen that will close these videos, right? Also, ctrl-alt-delete then task manager will also let you close them. Or you can turn your computer off and read a book...the possibilities are endless.

Except he isn't competing against a current NFL player either. Alexander retired in 2019, and is also surely out of shape too. I think you should save your frustration for more important things.
