Seconds out! Prefontaine classic coming up. Nuguse, Ingebrigtsen, Kerr in the Bowerman mile show-down.

Edit: Jake Wightman too. He ran a speedy 800m last week, so hopefully hitting his straps after his injury woes.

Hodgkinson nailed that 800m.

Kerr does it from the front

Steve Cram’s record goes after 39 years!

Oh no, I forgot that was on. Sounds good. I might watch it on catch up.

Here’s the final 200m.
Cram’s amusing comment as he broke the record was very humble.
“Once held by Steve Cram”

I was there! Bonkers. You hope people learn their lesson, but when you see them attribute it to God's greater plan, you do wonder.

Mind you, it happens at the highest level. Today in the 3000m steeplechase olympic repechage, Lizze Bird snuck/sneaked through as a German celebrated and eased up prematurely.

Bronze yesterday for Odey-Jordan in the U20 World Champs 200m.

Just a bit of fun.
Duplantis clocks 10.37 for 100m.
That’s fast. Just shows how special these athletes are.
If he had run in the Olympic heats he would have beaten about 15% of the field.

Duplantis is some athlete. They all are, as you say.

I can't remember who it was but a GB Paralympic cyclist beat two world records and still lost out on a medal last week. That kind of stuff is mind blowing.
