[commentator 1] That is a British record
for Zharnel Hughes.

176
00:07:46,675 --> 00:07:50,137
[Boldon] But to see Zharnel take down
Linford Christie's record finally,

177
00:07:50,930 --> 00:07:53,682
-was a revelation for a lot of people.
-[crowd cheers]

178
00:07:54,558 --> 00:07:56,852
It's been a while
since we've been able to say,

179
00:07:56,936 --> 00:08:00,022
"British male sprinter
in contention for gold."

180
00:08:00,105 --> 00:08:03,150
[reporter] Were you watching that race,
Linford? Were you tuned in?

181
00:08:03,234 --> 00:08:05,110
No, we didn't see it live,
we heard about it.

182
00:08:05,194 --> 00:08:08,280
One of my athletes rang me
and I thought it was a joke.

183
00:08:08,364 --> 00:08:10,241
I said, "No, no no, who was that?"

184
00:08:10,324 --> 00:08:13,202
And he goes, "Zharnel."
And I said, "Woah!"

185
00:08:13,285 --> 00:08:15,579
And then I went
on the internet to look it up.

186
00:08:15,663 --> 00:08:17,248
I could not believe it.

187
00:08:17,331 --> 00:08:18,791
You can see it because you're like--

188
00:08:18,874 --> 00:08:21,126
I could not believe-- I was like, "What!?"

189
00:08:22,836 --> 00:08:25,339
Never train like a champion,
always like a contender.

190
00:08:25,422 --> 00:08:27,424
-Facts--
-'Cause champions have nowhere to go.

191
00:08:27,508 --> 00:08:29,260
-So I always trained like a contender
-Facts.

192
00:08:29,343 --> 00:08:32,513
because I wanted to get to…
where they were.

193
00:08:32,596 --> 00:08:35,224
I used to put a picture
of Carl Lewis under my mat.

194
00:08:35,933 --> 00:08:38,561
Because he was number one!
I put him under my mat so it's--

195
00:08:38,644 --> 00:08:39,645
when I walk in the house,

196
00:08:39,728 --> 00:08:41,814
-I'm stepping on him because this is how,
-[laughing]

197
00:08:41,897 --> 00:08:45,025
-it's how much I wanted it, you know?
-That's hilarious.

198
00:08:45,651 --> 00:08:46,652
Oh wow.

199
00:08:46,735 --> 00:08:51,949
[man] The level of focus mentally as
sprinters to compete is incredible.

200
00:08:52,449 --> 00:08:54,034
In the British public and media,

201
00:08:54,118 --> 00:08:57,079
there's going to be,
tremendous expectation

202
00:08:57,162 --> 00:09:02,209
[Michael Johnson] that Zharnel is going
to, come in to that meet at home and win.

203
00:09:02,293 --> 00:09:05,379
-You were just the other way around.
-Were we? You go on that side.

204
00:09:05,963 --> 00:09:08,048
[Johnson] You have to deal with
the expectations,

205
00:09:08,132 --> 00:09:11,885
not only that you have,
but everyone else has of you.

206
00:09:11,969 --> 00:09:13,470
[Johnson] That's really hard.

207
00:09:13,554 --> 00:09:14,888
…I'll teach you the psychology.

208
00:09:14,972 --> 00:09:17,516
You walk over,
when he's bent and ready to go,

209
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,393
you shake his hand like this,

210
00:09:19,476 --> 00:09:21,729
You don't have to shake his hand.

211
00:09:21,812 --> 00:09:24,565
He's just doing that
to throw you off your game. Okay?

212
00:09:24,648 --> 00:09:26,775
'Cause you'll be wondering,
on the starting line,

213
00:09:26,859 --> 00:09:28,611
"Why did he come and shake my hand?"

214
00:09:28,694 --> 00:09:30,487
So now your game's thrown off.

215
00:09:30,571 --> 00:09:35,159
Like, for instance, the guys from the US,
they'll come up and be like, "USA, baby!"

216
00:09:35,826 --> 00:09:36,869
Try to throw you off.

217
00:09:36,952 --> 00:09:38,662
-They do any single thing
-[laughing]

218
00:09:38,746 --> 00:09:40,080
that can get into your head.

219
00:09:40,164 --> 00:09:42,583
This is one--I've never used it,
but heard about it.

220
00:09:42,666 --> 00:09:45,419
So you're down on the mark
and you get a bit of the track…

221
00:09:45,502 --> 00:09:48,922
And when he's on his mark like this,
you flick it in his lane.

222
00:09:49,006 --> 00:09:49,882
[exclaiming]

223
00:09:49,965 --> 00:09:53,719
Then he looks at that little thing you
just flicked, the gun will go and you run!

224
00:09:53,802 --> 00:09:54,970
Someone did that?

225
00:09:55,054 --> 00:09:57,014
-I would never do that.
-Really? Why?

226
00:09:57,097 --> 00:09:58,057
That would be crazy--

227
00:09:58,140 --> 00:10:00,434
-When the camera's off you can say it.

234

And if I'm thinking it…

235
00:10:17,576 --> 00:10:20,287
Noah is certainly thinking
it at the same time.

-Zharnel's at 7…
-Yeah.

No, no, no, but I mean, it's just
a good time to work that out.

247

That's why I like that lane
with him out there,

248
00:10:44,728 --> 00:10:47,481
because you can work that pattern,
see how it sets up from here.

249
00:10:47,564 --> 00:10:50,734
[Felix] The center lanes are the preferred
lanes, they're the best lanes,

250
00:10:50,818 --> 00:10:53,445
because that's where the fastest athletes
are gonna be

251
00:10:53,529 --> 00:10:57,032
and you want to be next to the fastest
so you can go get someone

252
00:10:57,116 --> 00:10:58,409
or run away from someone.

253
00:10:58,492 --> 00:11:00,744
I like the set up much better
coming through here.

It got reported in my report book.

334
00:14:21,778 --> 00:14:24,323
But my mom is afraid of planes
so she was like,

335
00:14:24,406 --> 00:14:26,867
"Um… I don't think I want you to do it."

336
00:14:26,950 --> 00:14:28,493
Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome aboard.

337
00:14:28,577 --> 00:14:31,288
I'm Captain Hughes,
today I'll be taking you to St. Martin.

338
00:14:31,371 --> 00:14:34,166
So flying down to Juliana,
flight time's going to be 35 minutes

339
00:14:34,249 --> 00:14:35,876
at a cruising altitude of 19,000.

340
00:14:35,959 --> 00:14:37,836
Sit back, relax,
your seat belts fastened.

341
00:14:38,754 --> 00:14:40,756
[Hughes] I knew
I always was going to be fast,

342
00:14:40,839 --> 00:14:43,467
'cause I'm very determined.

343
00:14:44,384 --> 00:14:47,137
My mom still have clip books
of me racing in St. Martin,

344
00:14:47,220 --> 00:14:48,889
barefooted on the tracks.

345
00:14:48,972 --> 00:14:52,601
My mom, she was a housekeeper,
and my dad is a taxi driver.

346
00:14:52,684 --> 00:14:54,937
So they didn't have that much funds.

347
00:14:55,020 --> 00:14:57,272
So when I got my first pair of spikes…

348
00:14:57,356 --> 00:14:58,941
[upbeat music playing]

349
00:14:59,024 --> 00:15:01,234
I was running like a bullet on the track.

350
00:15:03,403 --> 00:15:05,447
[commentator] Zharnel Hughes…

351
00:15:05,530 --> 00:15:08,659
[Hughes] My first professional meet
was just about 19 years old.

352

[crowd cheers]

353
00:15:10,077 --> 00:15:14,873
-I was lined up against Usain Bolt… yes.
-[triumphant music playing]

354
00:15:14,957 --> 00:15:17,584
-I was starstruck because this is a guy,
-[crowd cheers]

355
00:15:17,668 --> 00:15:20,253
I've been looking up at and legendary.

356
00:15:20,337 --> 00:15:24,800
I had to pinch myself a couple times
because it was like a dream for me.

357
00:15:24,883 --> 00:15:27,844
And I was just like, "Oh my God,
what am I going to do?"

-[vuvuzela blares]
-[pistol fires]

359
00:15:29,471 --> 00:15:32,975
[Lyles] I turned on all the turbos
I could possibly turn on.

360
00:15:33,058 --> 00:15:34,434
-And I just ran for my life.
-[crowd cheers]

361
00:15:35,310 --> 00:15:37,729
[commentator]…the movement of Julian Forte
that’s a lot to picture,

362
00:15:37,813 --> 00:15:39,022
comes in strong in lane 3,

363
00:15:39,106 --> 00:15:40,357
lane 4 is Dwyer,

364
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,527
but Bolt leading might take this one
with a little dip there at the line.

365
00:15:43,610 --> 00:15:45,404
[Hughes] Usain just about took me out.

366
00:15:45,487 --> 00:15:48,240
Yeah, even down to the milli-milliseconds.

367
00:15:48,323 --> 00:15:51,201
He was like, "What you just did, boss.
What you just did?"

368
00:15:52,285 --> 00:15:54,413
Zharnel has so much potential.

369
00:15:54,496 --> 00:15:56,832
I think he has so much potential,
so much potential.

370
00:15:56,915 --> 00:15:59,126
[Bolt] He needs to believe in himself
more

371
00:15:59,209 --> 00:16:02,504
and he will be one of the top sprinters.

372
00:16:02,587 --> 00:16:06,842
He will compete for a gold medal
in the one and two every year.

373
00:16:06,925 --> 00:16:09,302
[Hughes] First time I started competing
in England,

374
00:16:09,386 --> 00:16:11,888
it wasn't the biggest reception.

375
00:16:11,972 --> 00:16:14,975
It's almost as if I could hear--almost
hear a little whispers like,

376
00:16:15,058 --> 00:16:17,811
"Who is he? Where is he from?"
[giggles]

377
00:16:18,812 --> 00:16:21,690
[dramatic music playing]

378
00:16:21,773 --> 00:16:24,985
[Hughes] I saw it in the paper,
"plastic Brit Zharnel Hughes."

379
00:16:25,068 --> 00:16:27,070
[producer] What does the term
'plastic Brit' mean?

380
00:16:27,154 --> 00:16:29,406
I don't even know what it meant.
Honestly.

381
00:16:29,489 --> 00:16:32,159
-I don't know what… what does it mean?
-[clanking]

382
00:16:32,242 --> 00:16:34,119
[producer] Fake Britain.
It's not a nice word.

383
00:16:34,202 --> 00:16:36,496
Yeah, it's not nice, man.
Honestly, it's not nice.

384
00:16:36,580 --> 00:16:40,375
[Hughes] Anguilla is a British colony,
many people don't know that.

385
00:16:41,418 --> 00:16:44,296
From primary school,
we've been singing the British anthem.

386
00:16:44,379 --> 00:16:46,715
So to be classified as a 'Plastic Brit',

387
00:16:46,798 --> 00:16:50,427
almost as if I had to prove myself,
in a sense.

388
00:16:50,510 --> 00:16:52,721
[dramatic music pulses and continues]

389
00:16:52,804 --> 00:16:55,682
It, it felt a bit disgusting, honestly.

390
00:16:55,766 --> 00:16:59,352
[Felix] I think it's a much harsher
environment in the UK.

391
00:16:59,436 --> 00:17:01,313
They're much more critical
of their athletes,

392
00:17:01,396 --> 00:17:04,191
because I think track and field
is a much more prominent sport

393
00:17:04,274 --> 00:17:06,818
and so I think
it would be similar to the US

394
00:17:06,902 --> 00:17:09,946
of how we look at
basketball players or football players.

395
00:17:10,030 --> 00:17:12,824
[Hughes] I've been down
some dark spots in my life

396
00:17:12,908 --> 00:17:14,826
in regards to the track and field.

397
00:17:14,910 --> 00:17:17,120

My world completely stopped,
to be honest with you.

400
00:17:24,294 --> 00:17:25,962
[dramatic music playing]

401
00:17:26,046 --> 00:17:28,673
[commentator] This is the men's 100-meter
Olympic final.

402
00:17:29,633 --> 00:17:35,514
Which man will seize
his chance for sporting immortality?

403
00:17:35,597 --> 00:17:36,598
[referee] Set.

404
00:17:37,265 --> 00:17:39,434
[starter pistol fires twice]

405
00:17:39,518 --> 00:17:43,396
[commentator] That was Zharnel Hughes
of Great Britain and he knows it.

406
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:47,734
-What a disaster if he gets disqualified.
-[music pulses]

407
00:17:47,818 --> 00:17:49,694
[Felix] If you false start, you're out.

408
00:17:49,778 --> 00:17:53,657
So that's a lot of pressure and when you
think about something like the 100 meters

409
00:17:53,740 --> 00:17:55,826
-where you got to get it right,
-[pistol echoes]

410
00:17:55,909 --> 00:17:58,328
[Felix] it's really challenging,

411
00:17:58,411 --> 00:18:01,039
especially if you have
a tendency to be jittery

412
00:18:01,123 --> 00:18:03,416
or you've had false starts in the past.

413
00:18:04,042 --> 00:18:07,879
[commentator] His quest
for Olympic history is over

414
00:18:07,963 --> 00:18:10,340
-and in the worst possible way.
-[crowd chattering]

415
00:18:10,423 --> 00:18:12,676
[dramatic music pulses]

416
00:18:12,759 --> 00:18:17,305
I felt as if I was
a ghost coming back into the village.

417
00:18:17,389 --> 00:18:20,892
I felt as if my heart
has been ripped out my chest.

418
00:18:20,976 --> 00:18:23,436
I couldn't sleep
the night when I got back in.

419
00:18:24,354 --> 00:18:26,940
I was just sitting there in the bed,
traumatized.

420
00:18:28,358 --> 00:18:29,943
Felt as if I failed

421
00:18:30,735 --> 00:18:33,321
and everything came crumbling down on me.

422
00:18:33,405 --> 00:18:36,908
[Felix] It's hard when you have
some type of major devastation

423
00:18:36,992 --> 00:18:41,163
and then to come back the next year
and try to overcome that,

424
00:18:41,246 --> 00:18:42,873
[Felix] it's always
in the back of your head.

425
00:18:42,956 --> 00:18:45,041
And you know that people are thinking that

426
00:18:45,125 --> 00:18:47,669
-so you got to be really mentally tough
-[crowd cheering]

427
00:18:47,752 --> 00:18:51,548
to be able to put yourself out there,
and reverse that.

[dramatic music crescendo]

429
00:18:54,384 --> 00:18:58,346
[Hughes] It, it carried over into
the 2022 season as well…

430
00:18:58,430 --> 00:19:01,975
…because I was still traumatized
about what had happened in Tokyo.

431
00:19:02,058 --> 00:19:05,478
It was always about getting
the best start, getting the best start.

432

[starter pistol fires twice]

433
00:19:07,147 --> 00:19:10,275
[commentator] …six third from left.
And a false start there.

434
00:19:10,358 --> 00:19:13,028
Thankfully, I had a good support system

435
00:19:13,111 --> 00:19:15,488
that helped me
to rise above it all afterwards.

Noah, question to you,
at the risk of making Zharnel blush.

501
00:22:12,207 --> 00:22:15,377
Can you just talk about what
Zharnel's performance was in New York

502
00:22:15,460 --> 00:22:16,461
when he set that time?

503
00:22:22,884 --> 00:22:26,554
Um, to me it's just another person
on the map to race against.

505
00:22:29,140 --> 00:22:31,142
Was Zharnel always in the conversation,

506
00:22:31,226 --> 00:22:33,186
-for the medals and the championship--
-No.

507
00:22:34,521 --> 00:22:36,064
-But he is now.
-He is now.

508
00:22:36,147 --> 00:22:38,525
-Yeah
-And that's all that matters.

and show you that I'm ready as well.

514
00:22:56,459 --> 00:22:58,795
[Hughes] I'm over here, relaxed,
I'm chill.

515
00:22:58,878 --> 00:23:02,632
I'm looking like I'm not about to race
but I'm ready for you.

516
00:23:02,715 --> 00:23:04,134
I'm not afraid of you.

517
00:23:04,217 --> 00:23:07,679
I can look you dead in the face
and say to you, "I'm not afraid of you."

518
00:23:08,596 --> 00:23:10,849
[Hughes] You can be the best runner
in the world,

519
00:23:10,932 --> 00:23:13,935
but when I line up against you,
once I get my bit together…

520
00:23:15,186 --> 00:23:17,772
I'm going to give it
and that's the mindset

521
00:23:17,856 --> 00:23:19,524
I come into track and field with now.

522
00:23:19,607 --> 00:23:23,069
[reporter] Zharnel, I wondered if
the British 200-meter record

523
00:23:23,153 --> 00:23:24,737
is also in your sights?

524
00:23:24,821 --> 00:23:26,781
Is that a big target for you tomorrow?

525
00:23:26,865 --> 00:23:31,828
Something that's on the board,
if tomorrow it comes, I'm happy for it.

526
00:23:32,704 --> 00:23:34,247
What is the British record?

527
00:23:34,831 --> 00:23:36,207

You have to truly believe

you're going to win every time.

It's exciting.

I want to see
where I can match up as well.

that I possibly could

560

to be ready for this moment.

561
00:25:14,555 --> 00:25:16,474

00:30:35,209 --> 00:30:36,043
-Yes.
-For real.

664
00:30:36,961 --> 00:30:39,255
[Bishop] Heavy is the head
that wears the crown.

665
00:30:41,674 --> 00:30:44,218
It's easier to win
when you're the underdog

666
00:30:44,302 --> 00:30:46,470
because the expectation is not there.

667
00:30:46,554 --> 00:30:49,140
But once the expectation is there

668
00:30:49,223 --> 00:30:52,935
-the whole atmosphere changes.
-[indistinct chatter]

669
00:30:53,019 --> 00:30:54,896
-[Brauman] If he wins the double,
-[fan screams]

670
00:30:54,979 --> 00:30:57,273
I'll be just as happy as
if he breaks the world record.

671
00:30:57,356 --> 00:30:58,900
-I mean, that's just what…
-Yep.

672
00:30:58,983 --> 00:31:01,444
This year is about that, in my mind.

673
00:31:02,403 --> 00:31:03,738
And in his.

674
00:31:03,821 --> 00:31:06,866
[Bishop] You have to be grounded
in who you are as a person.

675
00:31:07,783 --> 00:31:12,288
-So I think our team is doing a good job
-[fans shout]

676
00:31:12,371 --> 00:31:15,625
in making sure his head
is strong enough to wear the crown.

677
00:31:16,334 --> 00:31:17,710
[Lyles] I have a very strong ambition

678
00:31:17,793 --> 00:31:20,004
to be the greatest
at anything I touch that I love.

679
00:31:21,130 --> 00:31:24,592
That ambition to not only
understand the game,

680
00:31:24,675 --> 00:31:29,388
but change it is another feeling
that I feel that I embody.

681
00:31:29,472 --> 00:31:34,101
So I love the sport
but I refuse to keep it where it is.

682
00:31:34,185 --> 00:31:38,397
I'm ready to go to the horizon
and then see what's beyond it.

683
00:31:38,481 --> 00:31:41,150
[music fades]

684
00:31:41,233 --> 00:31:43,486
[woman] The moment is now.

685
00:31:44,570 --> 00:31:46,572
Whoo-hoo It's a do or die.

686
00:31:46,656 --> 00:31:50,368
[Felix] There's a lot on the line.
The Nationals is the qualifier

687
00:31:50,451 --> 00:31:52,286
for the World Championships.

688
00:31:52,370 --> 00:31:54,664
-Road to Budapest.
-Yes. Right there.

689
00:31:55,581 --> 00:31:59,168
[man] If you do not qualify here,
then you won't get to

690
00:31:59,251 --> 00:32:01,087
the World Championships,
to the big party.

691
00:32:01,170 --> 00:32:02,630
There's no room for error.

692
00:32:02,713 --> 00:32:05,925
[woman] I need to first prove
to the world I am the best.

693
00:32:06,008 --> 00:32:07,802
[woman 1] They're bringing
their A game, man.

694
00:32:07,885 --> 00:32:11,389
Once you show up on the day,
it's go-time for everybody.

695
00:32:11,472 --> 00:32:13,099
[woman] This is going to be a battle.

696
00:32:14,350 --> 00:32:17,311
[commentator] She's yet to make
a 100-meters team.

697
00:32:18,229 --> 00:32:21,399
Nothing is guaranteed
and you don't get no do over.

698
