Between this awesome world T&F championship and one of the most memorable Tour de Frances in ages I think we can finally say that we’re back. Now we need to learn to live without unnecessary economic hardships, lockdowns, and reliance on the government dole.
First to fall would be the 400m record if she sets her mind to it.
I'm not sure I could handle her running 46.97, then walking off the track glowering like someone ran over her puppy while simultaneously thanking gawd for caring about her running.

Enjoy it while it lasts, because the World's will never be coming back to Eugene. Sebastian Coe was pretty clear about that. He wants to grow the sport leading up to the LA 2028 Games and he can only do that at BIG VENUES with built out infrastructure that makes hotel accommodations and travel easy for the casual fan.
There are 50 million runners in America. He wants to appeal to these people. Not the die-hard, educated, veteran track and field fan in Eugene.
Quite honestly, it was sad to see the Medal Ceremonies after the Final 4x4 race with the stands literally 7/8th's empty. Only friends and family were in the stands. Looked like the end of a high school meet.
