Yeah lousy headline but not a surprising development. I've posted a few times regarding the immense pressure on track and field athletes in India. It...

One of my favorites for a long time. If she wasn't going to switch to 400 I'm glad Schippers abandoned hopes of continuing as short sprinter into her...

It looks like Abigail Noruwa is interested in attending college in the United States and specifically the University of Utah. She posted an Instagram...

They made up for it in swimming.

China are wild cards. When I bet track and swimming seriously I generally tried to avoid events where Chinese...

I think the hilarious aspect was the parenthesized qualifier and the name who followed...

That stadium is a known quantity including the areas that are always barren. It forever amazes me that these variables are inherited on screen as if they...

I've reached the point I prefer Paul Swangard over Leigh Diffey. NBC will never do it. They want more animated calls than Swangard provides. But Swangard...

By far the biggest conflict for me in every meet is men's 110 hurdles. I know Holloway is a great guy who competes all year long. I tell myself to root...

Jakob vaulted another 10 levels today, based on his response to Lewis Johnson. It was the typical lazy simplistic attempt to frame everything around the...

I don't know how anyone can look at Mu and Sydney prior to joining Kersee and not detect the difference to how they've been since joining his camp. I'm...

I thought that was a missed opportunity by Bol to run something near her personal best of 51.45. She finished great in Brussels last week. This was a...

That women's 5000 record definitely was gettable. I think I mentioned here months ago that it could drop a long way. Kipyegon was shocked she got it because...

I think that women's 800 was accidentally a combination of the three things I proposed might happen and wanted to happen:

I hope Keely gives herself a chance tomorrow. Be aggressive, even if it means falling out late.

That said, it's difficult to pinpoint the...

It's interesting that Chase Ealey's best puts always seem to happen down the extreme left side of the boundary. It might not be ideal to aim there but...

Huge gap but Welteji is beginning to solidify second in the pecking order. She set a personal best at sub-3:54 today.

I should say second...

[Awsi Dooger]

Great race. I really appreciated that Chepkoech tried something different, even if it was always doomed to fail, given Yavi's youth and superior late...

[Awsi Dooger]

Correct. I have no idea why the NBC crew insists on saying it improperly Swangard started it last year and now it has inflicted the entire crew.

Jakob must not have expected it, based on his presser quip.

I'm not sure if that race was a positive for Jakob. He's got to be frustrated...

I didn't look at the time specifics. The aspect that jumped out to me was that it's the first time in memory that adding the 2 additional steps from 13...
