Donovan Bailey opens up about a side of his life that rarely makes headlines, the friend group that checks in on each other the way he says more men need to. It is a candid look at what changes when vulnerability becomes normal instead of avoided.
Along the way he marks thirty years since his Olympic gold, talks about the parking spot that reminded him how far time has moved, and shares what keeps him close to sport as a CBC analyst covering the Commonwealth Games.
His memoir, Undisputed: A Champion’s Life, gets a mention too, for anyone who wants the fuller story behind the moments he touches on here.
