Nuguse says he learned about the system from Jake Wightman at the Wild Duck on the night of the World Championship 1500 final last year.

Jamaica has also enacted a new law that makes any unjustified comparisons to Usain Bolt a federal crime. "You can still say the name Usain Bolt," said Jamaican Attorney General Derrick McKoy. "He's not Voldemort. But if you deliberately make a bad-faith comparison based on some bogus 10-meter split, we're going to be coming for you."

AOC is going to ask for distance running to be taxed after a study found runners add greatly to the C02 levels of the globe.

All US sponsored Nike athletes will be required to skip fall marathons to do the event which will be held during the weekend of October 19-20.  "(Even) Canada had a guy we gave up on break 2:10 last year....
