Evan Dunfee on Race Walking - Part 1 | Keep the Flame Alive

When Olympic race walker Evan Dunfee joined us to talk about his sport, little did we know we were in for some maranovela talk! In part 1 of our interview with Evan, we talk about the marathon and race walks' move to Sapporo and his opinions about the switch. Plus, the controversy over his race place at Rio 2016 and how Canadians embraced their best race walker.

Follow Evan on Twitter and Insta, and check out his website!

What are our TKFLASTANIs up to this week? We've got news from:

Throughout 2021 we're revisiting great stories from Atlanta 1996! For our Atlanta 1996 moment this week, Alison tells us how Atlanta's Table used the Olympics to make a difference in the community.

We also have Games Updates from Tokyo 2020 and the torch relay. Sexism in Japan? Oh, yeah.

Thanks so much for listening, and until next time, keep the flame alive!
