Track and field reporter Lewis Johnson is live on NBC during the third day of the Olympic Track Trials in Eugene, Oregon and he’s perched on the steeplechase barrier in front of the water jump.
He explains the origins of the event, from the 1800s in England. Graphics flash on the screen, showing the specifics of the modern-day version of the steeplechase, 28 barriers over a 1.86-mile race. Johnson describes how the barriers don’t move as he tries, unsuccessfully, to hip check the one he was just sitting on.
Then the segment takes a whimsical turn. He walks around to the water side of the jump, kicks off a pair of green Nikes, and wades in. “Oh, that feels so good, Diff,” he says, talking to Leigh Diffey, the lead announcer at the Trials.
You stayed on your feet when you finished, but what happened after that?
[Officials] helped me to the tunnel to get cold towels and water. Then I came back out for an interview and the podium, but I don’t remember that much either. Karissa said, “Come on, you can lean on me.” During the victory lap, I started out fine, but I kept getting more and more tired. About three-quarters of the way through, I stopped to hug my boyfriend and my family. As soon as I stopped, I started to black out. My mom and brother both work in healthcare, and they said, “Ali, you should go under the tunnel. You do not look good.”
