Director Paul Kemp's film Nike's Big Bet: Alberto Salazar and the Fine Line of Sport premiered at this year's Hot Docs Film Festival and has been catching the eyes of running fans. In the Film, Kemp takes a look at the good and the bad of Alberto Salzar's work with the Nike Oregon Project, with focus on Salzar's Doping violation suspension, Mary Cain's New York Times piece on her time with the Project, and oddly enough, super shoes.
Joined by the silver medalist at the 1997 ITU World Duathlon Championships, and a CCAA Cross Country Coach of the year who saw the Fanshawe Falcons Cross Country teams to a great amount of perennial success, John Loney, we review the film and discuss the good and the bad, as well as how it stacks up against the gold standard of running films, Without Limits.
