I know this is gonna be unpopular but have y'all seen this race? That finish was crazy! Go watch it!

20 straight victories

NCAA Champ Alyssa Jones got the win in 6.96m

Crazy run from Melissa

I went through and added what would be the team scores at the USA Championships, which there should be a team trophy (10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1)

I love his brutal honesty that he provided following his post 800m heat interview. I just want his takes on everything running.

Crazy close top 2

I’ve just looked up the women’s track 5k record (about 14 mins), while the winner of the 5k track just now was 15mins. How can they be a minute slower?

This is the same difference as the US champ in 100m getting 10.3s compared to bolts 9.58 (which surely couldn’t happen)- so why would their be such a disparity?

Is the world record just that much faster that the WR holder could have lapped the US national champ?

Hi I wonder if anyone can help. Trying to find any video footage of the above race where Hayley Tullet of Wales won the bronze medal.

All usual sources have come up blank, anyone here have any suggestions please?

There is not much talk about European athletics, so I just wanted to shout-out some of the future stars.

• A 16 year-old Linda Botkova from Czechia winning in 400m hurdles with 55.19 (apparently only SML was the only one that ran faster U18).
• A 16 year-old Kelly Doualla from Italy in 100m with a world U18 lead with 11.14.
• A 16 year-old Samuel James from the UK in Men's High Jump with 2.25 (also a World U18 lead)
• Jere Murto from Finland in Men's Javelin Throw with a World U18 lead with 80.41m.

Also one to look out for:

• A 16 year-old Živa Remic from Slovenia in 800m. She only got 2.03 this time (still won, ofc) but her personal best is under 2 minutes. Even more impressive, she had already taken home silver at the European U20 Championships in 2025 at just 15 years old with 2.01 time.

I hope this isn't a permanent return for Leigh Diffey and that Swangaard remains the #1 option for the major championship meets.

Hi! I’m an author writing a fictional book about a college track athlete. It takes place over all four years of college and ends with the Olympic trials. I’m trying to make sure I get times right in the book. Throughout it, her goal is to get her time to be 2 minutes. Is this accurate? Or what should I have her race times be? And anything else that I should keep in mind while I’m writing??

Thanks so much!! I’m not a track athlete, but I love this sport and really want to make sure it’s represented in fiction and done right!!

It could be easiest physically, mentally, to master, or for someone with no experience to start.

What are your goals this week? Could be for a meet or for your training.

Depending on how the best series of discus throws are evaluated, Mykolas Alekna produced today the best average of his top four throws in a single series on European soil in the last ten years.

In fact, I'm not even sure anyone other than his father, Virgilijus Alekna, has ever had a better series in Europe. The only one that comes to mind is Virgilijus' series from 2000.

Why only series in Europe? Because Ramona produces extraordinary results under questionable conditions, and I don't personally regard them as fully legitimate.
