To novice runners, a marathon is often considered the ultimate challenge. A 5k is the entry event.

But... running a good 5k can be much more challenging. You are riding a line, it's hard from the get go.

We are biased towards equating distance to challenge.

Don’t tell me you’re happy, show me.

That concludes the indoor campaign. The planning, the dedicated effort Grant puts in, the rest, the work, and the execution of race plan. All impressive. Thanks Grant Fisher for giving us something to cheer about!

12:44.09!!! INDOOR 5000M WORLD RECORD BY GRANT FISHER!! WOW!!!

Previous indoor 5000m record was 12:49.60 by Kenenisa Bekele in 2004.

That's two world records in the past week for him.

HE DID THAT.

Like it or not, you should make friends with the athletes on the XC team. At EVERY school. Because most likely, you’ll be working for one of them in 10 years. XC athletes are smart and know how to work. Life skills that show up years after they quit racing.

🗣️ “That was a long distance runner. It was the first time he medaled in that. Twice… Ohhhh you’re right, that guy actually is a badass”

Track and field 🤝 football?!

🏈 A quick interjection during #1 ranked sports podcast on Apple @PardonMyTake to give kudos to Grant Fisher.

Fisher was recognized at the Lions’ game on Sunday for his double Olympic bronze showing in Paris 🥉🥉

I don’t expect kids to know the benefits of HS XC but parents should know; best GPA on average, you earn your own results, you master your own mind. The question isn’t ’WHY XC?’ The question is ‘why NOT?!’ #TOD

[Sarah Lorge Butler @slorgebutler]

Here with Grant Fisher’s coach, Mike Scannell. He thought Grant wanted one medal when they first started working together. But Grant wanted two.

[Michael Scannell @RealIronMike]

When Grant said he wanted to ‘podium,’ I thought he meant once. My bad….

[CITIUS MAG @CitiusMag]

THE OLYMPICS WE ALL WANTED 🥉🥉

After years of near misses in stacked races, @Phresh_Fish will head back to the United States with his first two Olympic medals after finishing third in the 5000m one week after his bronze medal performance in the 10,000m.

After leaving his longtime team, moving states, and returning to his high school coach, Fisher’s big bet on himself has officially paid off.

[Chris Chavez @ChrisChavez]

JAKOB INGEBRIGTSEN FOR THE WIN!

… BUT WATCH GRANT FISHER KICK FOR BRONZE!

GRANT FISHER IS MY HERO.

[NBC Olympics & Paralympics @NBCOlympics]

Grant Fisher nearly fell in the 10,000m final and STILL won a medal! 🤯 #ParisOlympics

[CITIUS MAG @CitiusMag]

GRANT FISHER: OLYMPIC MEDALIST🥉

In his second Olympic appearance, @Phresh_Fish improves from 5th to 3rd to land his first global medal!

It’s the 2nd-fastest time of Fisher’s career and the 2nd-fastest time in American history… IN A CHAMPIONSHIP RACE!!! Fisher was one of 13 men that went under the previous Olympic record.
