Could you imagine having mononucleosis and COVID-19 at the biggest competitions of your life? What about missing the Olympic team by one spot in arguably your best event?

With his back against the wall, David Johnston dropped over 10 seconds and finished second in the 1500 - meters to make his first Olympic team.
David joins us to share his remarkable journey to make his first Olympic team, but also his journey which has included numerous obstacles, which have shaped him, not shaken his self-belief.
