What does it take to become the fastest person on Earth? Olympic champion and world-record holder Donovan Bailey joins Talia Schlanger to reflect on the 30 year anniversary of the race that made history, the rivalries that fueled him, and the mindset required to perform under extraordinary pressure. Donovan shares what he learned from competing at the highest level of sport and why the pursuit of speed continues to captivate us.

And for Article Club, Talia talks to WIRED contributing editor Brendan Koerner about his reporting on the teenage track stars redefining what's possible on the track. From record-breaking performances to advances in training and technology, Brendan explores how a new generation of athletes is pushing the limits of human speed. Together, they examine our enduring fascination with going faster and ask just how much room there is left to run.
