About this episode
Nikki Hiltz joins Chris Chavez and Kyle Merber live from Budapest after finishing third in the 1500m at the World Ultimate Championships, the highest finish of their career at an outdoor global championship. Nikki reflects on a huge 2026 season that included wins at Millrose Games and the Pre Classic, a dramatic U.S. Championships victory, and taking third at World Ultimates. They break down the 1500m final, Georgia Hunter Bell's late move, and their battle to the finish with Klaudia Kazimierska. Plus, Nikki talks about their mental growth, racing with confidence, time trials, and why they're ready for a much-needed break after one more race in London this weekend. ____________ Stay tuned…
