Great interview - both good topic selection and clear answers. Huge respect for how Frantz has achieved such longevity. On your topic of how we can improve the popularity of the throws is we could copy what F1 and Netflix did with Drive to Survive. A show that goes through how everything works, some of the history, but mainly introducing and following the current athletes through the current season. At the moment most athletes already have some social media, but casual / potential fans are never going to come across them, so having something more entry level to get people to care enough to tune into meets is part of what's missing. For example, the classic story line of following an older athlete and younger one prepare in totally different ways for a big meet and seeing them clash. Obviously has some downsides too (over-dramatized, not "pure", cost, etc) Thanks again, appreciate the interviews :)
