"That race felt like everything I wanted in a 1500m wrapped up into one perfect race… Everyone was in it together, especially with that last dramatic kick where you still didn't know who was going to win with 200m to go."
Yared Nuguse has cemented himself as one of the best stars in middle-distance running. With a bronze medal in the 1500m at the Paris Olympics, Yared made history alongside Cole Hocker, marking the first time in 112 years that Team USA claimed multiple medals in the event. Add to that a silver medal in the 3000m at the World Indoor Championships earlier in 2024, and it’s safe to say Yared’s season was nothing short of remarkable.
Today, Yared joins The CITIUS MAG Podcast to reflect on his breakout year and to share the exciting news that he’ll be racing the Wanamaker Mile at the 2025 Millrose Games. The showdown between Yared and reigning World champion Josh Kerr promises to be one of the highlights of the indoor season, and we dive into how Yared is preparing for the challenge.
We also discuss his evolution as a global medal contender, the lessons learned from two World Championship campaigns, and his mindset as he continues to push the limits of American middle-distance running. It’s always inspiring to hear from one of the sport’s most talented and thoughtful athletes.
