LetsRun.com's Best of 2021

With the full year in the books, it's time to finally turn the page on 2021 and hand out some awards. Sifan Hassan, Jakob Ingebrigtsen, Courtney Freirichs, Erriyon Knighton, Shelby Houlihan, Sha'Carri Richardson, Francine Niyonsaba, Elly and Laurie Henes and others all get some hardware.

Did you know that Athing Mu accomplished something this year that David Rudisha never did? Do you know the one event in our rankings where the Olympic champ wasn't also our world #1?

No American men cracked the top 3 in any event.

What were LetsRun.com junkies obsessing about in 2021... American distance stars, doping, and of course drama.
