Field report! Nat and Gregor check in from the Asian Championships

Cheryl Haworth

This past weekend the Doctors were together in lovely Chicago (loosely, Chicago-area), Illinois, for the 2017 USAW National Championships. While there we had the pleasure to record an episode with Cheryl Haworth: 2000 Olympic bronze medallist, 2004 and 2008 Olympian, American record holder, Youth World record holder, and multiple-time National Champion (among other accomplishments). Cheryl spoke with us about her development, her training environment with some of the sport’s greats, her mindset when returning from a serious injury, her American records (128 snatch, 161 clean and jerk, and 287 total!), and much, much more. Enjoy! Notes:  Strong!

Day 2 of our special reports from Ashgabat and the 2018 World Championships! Gregor and I just brought the Zoom H1n recorder along with us and captured some impromptu conversations: a chat over breakfast, one during a midday break, and one at the end of the day. The environment can be quite noisy at times (and therefore a bit tough to here us in spots) but it gives you a sense of the atmosphere at Worlds (we hope). Special guest appearances include: Mike Choi, Mark Cannella, Sean Waxman, JP Nicoletta, and Nat Arem of hookgrip. Enjoy! https://the2doctors.files.wordpress.com/2018/11/2018-worlds-day-02.mp3 Also on iTunes!
