  • Bekele is Back, Christian Miller 9.93, Tsegay 3:50, Billionaires Zuck and Ratcliffe Impress

    Bekele is Back, Christian Miller 9.93, Tsegay 3:50, Billionaires Zuck and Ratcliffe Impress
    Apr 23 2024

    Kenenisa Bekele didn't win the London Marathon but he more than capture attention with his second place showing. Is it enough to get him to the Olympics one final time.

    Peres Jepchirchir set the women's only marathon world record in London in a "tactical" 2:16.

    High schooler Christian Miller ran a world leading 9.93 100m, could he possibly make the US Olympic team (and win Olympic gold?).

    Billionaries Mark Zuckerberg and Jim Ratcliffe ran fast, there is a doping controversy involving China, USADA, and WADA, and a USATF legal update, along with the 800m opener of Josh Kerr.

    Boston, NCAA Standouts (Colin Sahlman, Parker Valby, Adam Spencer, Jacious Spears), and a Bizarre Discus Record for the Ages
    Apr 17 2024
    The 128th Boston Marathon is in the books and Sisay Lemma put on an exhibition the first 20 miles of the race and held on for the win as Hellen Obiri blasted the final 5 miles to win her battle with Sharon Lokedi. CJ Albertson joined the sub 2:10 club. What's up with the Kenyan and Ethiopian Olympic teams? Alicia Monson is out of the Olympics, what about Parker Valby's chances? Colin Sahlman ran 3:33.9 to get the big win at Bryan Clay. Is he a contender for the Olympics? Adam Spencer won the Aussie 1500m title, Jacious Sears blasted a 10.77, Mykolas Alekna broke the oldest men's world record on the books, and the Diamond League is really dead in the US as it will be on Flotrack in 2025.
