Citius Mag is an online sports magazine covering track and field. The magazine's mission is to "make it easier (and way more fun) to be a track fan."[1] "Citius" means "faster" in Latin and is the first word of the Olympic motto.[2] The outlet publishes podcasts, videos, articles, newsletters, and social media content, including race coverage and analysis and interviews with athletes.[3][4]
History and Coverage[edit]
Chris Chavez, a former Sports Illustrated writer, founded Citius in 2016 before starting to work for the outlet full-time in 2021.[1][5][6] Staff include runners Mac Fleet, Dana Giordano, Katelyn Hutchison, David Melly, and Jasmine Todd.[1] At a 2023 press conference, after Hutchison praised Sha'Carri Richardson, Richardson thanked Hutchison for her representation of Black women in sports media.[7] Kyle Merber previously served as the Director of Partnerships and writer of The Lap Count newsletter.[8]
In addition to covering elite track and field, Citius produces events and content with public figures like Malcom Gladwell and contestants from The Bachelor franchise.[9][10] Citius also produces sponsored content with running brands like Brooks.[11]
In April 2024, Citius released the first look at Nike uniforms for Team USA track and field at the 2024 Summer Olympics which received national press coverage. A high-cut leotard uniform received significant online criticism and accusations of sexism from athletes due to its limited leg and groin coverage.[12][13]
