Hot takes with Melissa Bishop

Melissa Bishop is an Olympic finalist, Canadian record-holder and new mom who’s gearing up for her 2019 outdoor season. We know that Bishop is into track, and we know that she’s a high-level athlete, but below are some of Bishop’s opinions that we were unaware of before yesterday. We presented her with 10 rapid-fire questions on contested topics that don’t necessarily have anything to do with running. Here’s how she answered.

1. Flaming Hot Cheetos or all dressed chips? All dressed chips, for sure.
2. New Olympic standards, cool or not cool? Cool. I mean in 2012 the standards were really similar so I’m cool with it.
3. Nike Vaprofly’s: too much or just enough? They look cool but I haven’t run in them.
4. If you had to train for another event: decathlon or marathon? Dec, I don’t think I could do a marathon.
5. Salty or sweet? Sweet.
6. Seinfeld or Friends? Friends.
7. Kanye or Taylor? Taylor.
8. Cocktail or beer? Depends on the night. Actually, beer.
9. City or beach? Beach.
10. Caribbean or Europe? Europe.
