The excitement is palpable as the Athlete’s Lounge makes its triumphant return on FloTrack, providing fans with an immersive experience during the highly anticipated Wanda Diamond League season. Set to kick off on May 31, this athlete-focused companion show is presented by On and Fleet Feet and promises an engaging lineup featuring new hosts, live watch-along parties across the United States, and a wealth of behind-the-scenes narratives from the most prestigious Track & Field events around the globe.
This season, viewers will be treated to the insights of Olympic medalists Trey Hardee and English Gardner, who will be joined by Jenny Simpson, the most decorated American middle-distance runner and a 2014 Diamond League champion in the 1,500 meters, as well as Andrew Wheating, a two-time U.S. Olympian. Together, this remarkable panel will deliver real-time reactions, expert analysis, candid interviews, and unfiltered commentary throughout FloTrack’s extensive coverage of the Wanda Diamond League.
In addition to the engaging live streams, FloTrack will enhance the viewing experience by hosting a series of watch-along parties at various Fleet Feet retail locations across the country. These events will foster a sense of community among running enthusiasts, featuring appearances from local athletes and running clubs, and providing fans an opportunity to come together and enjoy the thrill of the competition in real-time.
