Without question, Peter Bol was one of Australia’s biggest stories at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Running in his second Games, he made history when he became the first Australian man in 53 years to qualify for an 800m final - a final that he set the pace in before eventually finishing fourth. Though he just missed out on a medal, he quickly embedded himself in the hearts of a largely locked-down nation anyway: declaring that “the whole of Australia was watching - and that carried me on."And as more Australians learned of his story and the man behind the athlete, the affection only deepened. The 27-year-old had very few chances to sit back and ponder his accomplishments in Tokyo -- immediately jetting out for more competition in Europe -- but now, months on from the Games, he’s finally had a bit of a chance to reflect. He sat down with ESPN’s Stephanie Brantz to discuss his past few months, how his story has been told compared to his own recollections, his pastimes outside of running, the support structures that had delivered him to where he is today and much more.
