Interesting to see how those who got in through the standard fare in the heats in Tokyo. Guarantee that theyβre not running 62.4s for 12.5 laps in a semi.
World Athletics: We're creating a qualification system that will incentivize meaningful competion, rather than time-trialing.

Trippas' mark of 8:13.15 is also an Australian national record, breaking the old @AustralianAths record of 8:16.22 set by Shaun Creighton on 2 July 1993.

Washington alum India Weir just set a new PB in the women's 5000 a week after finishing second in the @BritAthletics championships at that distance, running 15:01.92 to take eighth.

Better for doubling purposes, and could make things easier for coaches when figuring out lineups for the DMR.
NCAA Indoor Champs will go back to the combined M&W schedule, rather than the separated format which started during COVID.

"The top men's and women's stars have hired former WTA chief executive Larry Scott to lobby the Grand Slams on their behalf, arranging meetings with tournament organizers to make their case.". The LARRY SCOTT who ran the @pac12 into the ground?!?.
nytimes.com
The new record adds another frontier to the arms race between the Grand Slams, as players focus on how much tournament revenue they get.

Iβm surprised that @runmtsac isnβt certified as a @WorldAthletics Class 1 facility after all the money spent to get the 2020 US Olympic trials.
I was under the impression that the @usatf Championships had to be held at a @WorldAthletics Class 1 Facility. There are only 7 of them in the United States (see 2023 list, below). Am I wrong about this?
