Our big thoughts on the 2022 Paris Diamond League meet where SAFP blasted a 10.67 and Winfred Yavi moved to #4 all-time in the steeple.

Christian Taylor gave some love to OBJ.

It was mom's night in Doha as SAFP showed she's the GOAT and Allyson Felix added another gold to her haul. Christian Taylor turned back Will Claye again and Anzhelika Sidorova won a great pole vault over Sandi Morris.

Track and field's opening day did not disappoint as the women's steeple was historically good, we're excited about the men's 5000 for the first time in years, and a new 21-year old star won an event in just his fourth attempt at the event ever in his life.

Taylor became the first man in 36 years to defend his Olympic triple jump title and now owns more global triple jump golds than any man in history. He's now in the conversation for the GOAT along with world record holder Jonathan Edwards and three-time Olympic champ Viktor Saneyev.

Some nice quotable sentiments from Eaton and Dibaba announced she's going for the world indoor mile record in Stockholm on February 17th. *A Closer Look At The AOY Men's Finalists Eaton beat out Usain Bolt and Christian Taylor. *Closer Look At Women's AOY Finalists Dibaba beats Dafne Schippers and Anita Wlodarczyk.

Team USA has struggled at these championships but Thursday night went very well for the Americans as Taylor (triple jump) and Felix (400) earned the U.S.'s 2nd and 3rd golds of the championships in impressive fashion -- an 18.21 jump (#2 all-time) by Taylor and a 49.26-second run for Felix (PB). Justin Gatlin couldn't complete a perfect night, which is understandable as he once again lost to the incomparable Usain Bolt (19.55 to 19.74) and had to settle for silver.

Running in his first race since the NOP doping investigation became public, Mo Farah celebrated his win as if he'd won a World title while Nijel Amos won a big battle in the men's 800 but limped off the track injured.

Tunisia's Habiba Ghribi beat Ayalew (2nd) and Emma Coburn (5th) in the race, but Ayalew still won the DL title and the $40,000 prize that goes with it. Americans to win DL titles included Jenny Simpson (1500), Tianna Bartoletta (LJ), Reese Hoffa (SP), Christian Taylor (TJ), Michael Tinsley (400 hurdles), LaShawn Merritt (400) and Dawn Harper-Nelson (100 hurdles).

Ahye remained perfect in the 100 while Schippers, who took bronze in the heptathlon at Worlds last year, won the 200 over Allyson Felix and set two national records in the span of two hours. There were also wins for Christian Taylor (triple jump), Jeff Henderson (long jump) and Blanka Vlasic (high jump).

Claye handily beat 2012 Olympic champion Christian Taylor. In other events Mike Rodgers won the 100 with 10.09 into a headwind after running a wind-aided 9.80 in the semis. Tianna Bartoletta won the womens' 100 in 11.15 (-2.1 wind) after Tori Bowi ran a wind legal 10.91 in the semis. Trey Hardee won the decathlon, Jenn Suhr the PV and Hayden Reed the discus.

Some interesting tidbits at the presser in advance of the first World Relays. Leo Manzano reminds us there is nothing better than being on a college team.
