    Philadelphia's Penn Relays track meet is one of the world's oldest, most respected, and most attended track and field events. They're happening this weekend, and they include everyone from the city's young athletes to the world's best sprinters. We got to attend it in 2022 and see not only how intertwined it is into the culture of the City of Brotherly Love, but just how much the island nation of Jamaica treasures the event - and infiltrates it with tens of thousands of fans bringing energy, passion and fun.

    I love old historic buildings/stadiums. We don't have much of that in LA. Amazing how many Jamaicans were there! You should have chased down the Jamaican PM and interviewed him too! haha. Such a big event, I am thinking we need to find one on the west coast to get a little taste of it before the 2028 Olympics. You guys should definetly come see it! I remember the 1984 games a little, and it was really cool!

    🇯🇲 We eat and drink athletic in Jamaica 🇯🇲 so no one should surprise when we perform good in the world in the bigger events 🇯🇲

      Never a surprise! We were only surprised - happily surprised - at how much your fans travel! It’s like the Green Bay Packers in the NFL, or the Dutch in speed skating.

    I really enjoy your intro. Track was main sport going to high school but got distracted by volleyball. Looks like you have some backlog to go through. 100 years old is pretty impressive!
    Just love all your sports history! Jamaica does not mess around! It is the same for Connor McGregor for the Irish. Really cool you got an interview. Don’t let the prime minister push you like that. What an amazing sub culture.

      Yeah, don’t mess with prime ministerial bodyguards.

    Oh nice!!! I’m a track and field guy so you know I loved this one. The Penn and Drake Relays are the big ones! Everyone loves chicken tenders! Anthony didn’t look convinced to start running track though 😂

      Lol! Part of me wonders why they always schedule Penn & Drake on the same weekend. Makes no sense.
