Episode 69 of TheFinalSprint.com Podcast features my interview with American Olympic distance-runner Abdi Abdirahman.

Abdi, who earlier this summer won his second consecutive 10,000m National Championship, finished second behind the legendary Haile Gebrselassie at last Sunday’s NYC Half-Marathon

In the interview Abdi discusses his performance at the NYC Half, the upcoming IAAF World Championships in Osaka, and his preparation for and the field of competitors running in November’s U.S. Olympic Men’s Marathon Trials.

Download the podcast to hear Abdi discuss these topics, as well as, why he believes the U.S. will earn the more medals than ever before at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, looking up to Billy Mills and Bob Kennedy, the special and important place in his heart for his native Somalia, and his deep, heart felt love for being an American.
