enjoying the show. She didn’t have to do that.
It would be really easy for her to walk away, go
drink water, stay away from the contestants,
but she was interacting with everyone and
seemed really friendly. It made it all the more
enjoyable.
Maybe we could talk about your year.
Obviously, that story broke so big. Did
you ever have any more interactions with the
couple?
Gosh, you know, I’ve been asked this so
many times, and I wish I had given them
my phone number. At the time, I wasn’t think-
ing about it. I was supposed to be going into
training camp in a couple of days, and I was
going to be gone for a month, and I thought
this would be over in a few weeks. Thinking
back on it, it all seems ridiculous now that
these are the thoughts that I had. … I didn’t
think much of it other than, maybe I should’ve
given them my phone number to help them
out more if they need it, but I didn’t. And now,
to be honest, it’s my local Safeway, and I go
back all the time, and I still scan the parking
lot from time to time to see if their little blue
car is there.
You mentioned Oprah and Ellen. What
else happened in the aftermath of that?
Gosh, it was such a blur, to be honest, be-
cause on one hand, I’m dealing with all
the changes that are happening. As an athlete,
I found all my track meets were canceled, and
the Olympics were canceled and trials were
postponed and so on. On the one hand I’m
doing that, and on the other I’m taking phone
calls from reporters. … I had thousands and
thousands of messages and tweets and Face-
book messages and even people who found my
email from all over the world. So much stuff
that I had to have help with my social media
accounts because I was trying to respond to

every single person, which was just getting ab-
solutely impossible. … It was fun seeing peo-
ple like Vanessa Hudgens or Oprah Magazine
or Ellen and Gov. Brown retweeting it. That
was fine, but I think was even more impact-
ful and exciting was seeing the people who are
like, ‘Oh, I didn’t realize.’ You know, there are
people … who are struggling so much more,
and it was really inspiring to me to hear from
all the people who were reaching out to their
community members or trying to start gro-
cery runs for at-risk community members. I
thought that was really special.
Where are you at now with your run-
ning? Things are moving ahead, right?
Yeah, things are happening. Japan is
planning on hosting the Olympics. The
Olympic Trials for track and field are going to
be in Eugene in mid-to-late June, and they’re
going to pick the Olympic team. The Olym-
pics are going to look different from how they
would typically — for instance, they just an-
nounced that there are going to be no foreign
spectators allowed, so that’s all a bummer, but
at the same time if it’s to make it happen as
safely as possible, I understand. … I’m really
optimistic that things will look better and bet-
ter as we move into the next few months.
What are your plans for after the
Olympics?
That’s a great question. I don’t know yet.
I think I just want to see how it goes, and
try to live in the present a little bit because of
hoping so much for the future over the last
year. I want to enjoy this summer of racing,
and them I’m not sure. I might want to con-
tinue running and competing. There’s the
World Championships in Eugene in 2022. …
So that could be something fun to go after,
World Championships in the United States.
I’m also really interested in public policy.
