Justyn Knight | How years of injury have brought new perspective to the same big goals
This week on the Shakeout Podcast we're joined by Justyn Knight, Olympic finalist, multi-time NCAA Division 1 national champion, and the second fastest man in Canadian history over 5000m.
After a devastating injury sustained at the 5000m final at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 kept Knight off the track for nearly 4 years, he's back competing against the world's best in 2025. Fresh off a podium-performance at the Canadian championships and a 13:03 clocking in the 5k just days ago in Europe, Knight joins the show to talk about the long road back to the top of the distance running world.
Following years of injury, and a move across the continent to train alongside Canadian record holder Moh Ahmed as part of the Oregon-based Nike Swoosh Track Club, the Toronto-born Knight is still chasing the same lofty goals as ever, albeit with a perspective that's been formed in the trials of the past several years.
