Ben Blankenship speaks on what went wrong at USAs

Jul 13, 2015

We caught up with Ben Blankenship one day before his 3000m race in Lucerne, Switzerland. Blankenship had a huge 2015 season, from anchoring the American distance medley relay to a new world record at the World Relays, to running 3:35 and finishing fourth at the Shanghai Diamond League. Most of the running world saw Blankenship as a strong contender for making the world championship squad, which did not happen when he finished fourth after blistering kicks from Robby Andrews and Leo Manzano. Blankenship talks about that U.S. 1500m Final race and his goals for the rest of 2015 and beyond. Warning: Interview contains profanity.
