Wow
I don’t think people realize how absurd this is. Scottish runner Josh Kerr just broke the mile world record in 3:42.66, an average speed of 16.2 mph. Most people couldn’t even briefly reach that speed, let alone sustain it for an entire mile.

SO CLOSE TO ANOTHER GOLD 😱 After years of up-and-down with injuries, coaching changes, and missing the last two global championships, Jake Wightman 🇬🇧 comes within 0.02 seconds of another #WorldAthleticsChamps 1500m title and still lands back on the podium with a 3:34.12 for silver.

GEORDIE’S KICK IS GOLDEN AGAIN 😱 In arguably the most dramatic race of the #WorldAthleticsChamps so far, Geordie Beamish 🇳🇿 dethrones four-time reigning champ Soufiane El Bakkali with his “textbook George” finish to claim New Zealand’s first ever medal with a gold in the steeplechase, running 8:33.88 for the win.

🗣️ "The most important thing I want to say to everyone is: Thank you. I'm just grateful that this moment that I thought would never happen, that justice is actually being served. And from the bottom of my heart, I'm grateful to everyone who has been in my corner along the way." @ShannonRowbury shares an update on Instagram reacting to the news of possibly being upgraded to the 2012 Olympic 1500m bronze medal following a 10-year ban of Russia's Tatyana Tomashova and the disqualification of her results from 2012 to 2015. 📰 More details here: citiusmag.com/articles/tatya…

800m hot event this year. All I know is when I started hinting and saying that I’ll be going up to the 800 they started dropping 1:41s/1:42s. Y’all got it now. I’m cool.

Watching back the Olympic 1500m final and noticed something that hasn't really been discussed. In Tokyo, everyone pointed to the role Timothy Cheruiyot played, helping Ingebrigtsen win by pushing the pace mid-race. But Cheruiyot did something just as important here. Thread:
