Aries Merritt is the world record holder in the 110m meter hurdles and the 2012 Olympic champion. Articulate, witty and self effacing, Aries Merritt is one of my favorite athletes to interview.
This interview was done in the hall outside the Fairmont Monaco press room on 17 July 2014. Special thanks to Aries for allowing me to do parts one and two. A fine hurdler on his way back from injuries. A journey into Dante’s inferno for the athlete,as they know what elite shape is, and many push too hard to get back too fast. Aries Merritt is taking his time, but that requires patience.
