A day after the men produced a historically good 400h, the women did it as well. Gold #1 for McLaughlin as Dalilah Muhammad (51.58) crushed the old world record (51.90) and Femke Bol (52.03) came close.

What a race. Was that the greatest race in the history of track & field?

The Olympic action got started this morning and it was full of drama as the US, Kenyan and Ethiopian champs in the men's steeple all failed to make the final. Benard Keter will be the only American in Monday’s steeple final but Canada has two guys in it. In the sprints, we learned the Tokyo track is FAST as in the women’s 100, 6 women broke 11, led by Marie Josee Ta Lou’s 10.78 African record.

McLaughlin took down the world record holder and Olympic champ Dalilah Muhammad to become the first woman ever under 52 seconds.

Barely half an hour after Grant Holloway ran 12.81 to become the second-fastest 110m hurdler in history, Rai Benjamin decided to match Holloway’s feat, clocking 46.83 in the 400m hurdles, the #2 time ever behind only Kevin Young’s 46.78 world record

The Kori Carter has the fastest PB in the 400H and is up against Olympic bronze medalist Ashley Spencer. 2018 US champion Sha’Keela Saunders leads the LJ.

The races will include Omar McLeod, Devon Allen, Aleec Harris and Jonathan Cabral in the 110H and defending champ Jeffrey Gibson in the 400H.

What if a bunch of crazy stuff didn't happen at the Trials...

Allyson Felix's quest for history is over before it really even began. Felix wasn't the only one to have a bad day as Johnn Dutch also failed to make it Rio. The news wasn't all bad as in the women's 400 hurdles HSer Sydney McLalughlin made Team USA and Dalilah Muhammad set a new US championship record.

Ashton Eaton and coach Harry Marra talk decathlon, Nike doping allegations, and the year of the hurdles.

Georgetown alum Rachel Schneider got a solid PR to win the 1500 in 4:08.46 while Cory McGee was 3rd. Trinidad & Tobago's Michel Cedenio ran 44.97 to win comfortably over LaShawn Merritt (45.42); Jeremy Wariner was 9th (46.22).
