Marco Arop's 800m performance of 1:42.22 in London last Saturday was the fourth-fastest time of his career. Here's a look at the 🇨🇦 all-time list for men's 800m--quite ridiculous.
The Historically-Great Throws At Pre Deserved More Airtime ☄️ "It’s not easy to carve out time in a jam-packed broadcast like Pre, but other meets—even other Diamond Leagues—have much more dead air. So why not fill it with the greatness already at your fingertips? Practically…
When you put on a high level competition including throws, the best show up and perform. Everyone needs to remember that going forward.
Thanks, @CitiusMag for confirming 🫡🤩
The @nikepreclassic is the greatest one day athletics meeting, hands down. So many personal bests, national records, world leads, and a world record already and there’s still over an hour of action left!
3m 48.68 .. WORLD RECORD 1500m .. What an end to the 50th @nikepreclassic .. FAITH KIPYEGON 🐐
Sometimes it blows my mind that track isn't the most popular sport in the world.
And the format where the best thrower goes first… taking away the chance to respond is also criminal 😭
Cutting this shot comp to a “final 3” is just criminal #Pre50
I wish people knew how big of a deal this is!
FIVE WOMEN OVER 20M TODAY! JACKSON, MITTON, ROSS, WESCHE, SCHILDER!
Camryn Rogers answered the bell today when the field required it, taking another win at Pre in a Canadian record of 78.88m, leapfrogging Rachel Richeson for No. 5 on the all-time list. Strong day for Brooke Andersen ending at 76.95m with 3 76s, and a big SB of 74.70m for Anita…
If you want to get better, consistency with fundamentals is the way!
I played more than 5 different sports growing up then 3 different sports through high school along with different positions/events in those sports. I believe this was key to my Olympic journey. Early specialization leads to burnout, injuries, and more.
Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson received both her undergraduate and law degrees from Harvard University. She graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Government and earned her Juris Doctor (J.D.) from Harvard Law School, graduating cum laude. While…
What most everyone will remember from @Kipyegon_Faith sub 4min mile attempt are her responses afterwards: “I feel good that I tried… it’s only a matter of time… I will still go for it.” It’s an awesome thing to invite the whole world in to watch your positive strivings.
Except she’ll have to run the opposite way since discs go far in a headwind haha
Next time Faith should just run a straight mile in that one field in Oklahoma where the discus throwers go
Chasing history, creating legacy 💜 Still the fastest mile run by a woman in history, @Kipyegon_Faith gives everything in her quest to break the 4️⃣ minute mile and stops the clock at 4:06.42. Thank you, Faith, for making us dream. Maybe not today, but soon…😤
