Mile walking 5.31,08!

It's a new WR!

A new World Record! Let's see any of the other so-called athletes top that performance today.

I see they're quickly skipping over the slow-mo replays without comment… Every last one of the 'walkers' getting some serious air.

Women’s 400 Hurdles: Janieve Russell wins as Muhammad struggles for her third straight race

Rome winner Janieve Russell, who was 4th at the Jamaican trials, got the win in this non-DL meet in a seasonal best 54.02 as American Cassandra Tate, who didn’t make the final at USAs this year but was a bronze medallist at the 2015 Worlds, grabbed second in her seasonal best of 54.59. Reigning Olympic and US champ Dalilah Muhammad had her third straight disappointing race since USAs as she was just sixth in 54.99. Since winning USAs in a world-leading 52.64, Muhammad has run 54.62 for third in Hungary, DNFed in Lausanne and now run 54.99 today.

National athemn for third place?

O'Hare wins 1500m in tight race from Kibet and one of the Norwegian dudes

that 1500 was a solid race, great pacing by rotich (57.49/57.76) set it up well and a few of the guys took advantage. O'Hare nearly with a PR for the win
