Wanyonyi has already tied David Rudisha for the most sub-1:42s in history (seven) and is the same age (21) as Rudisha when Rudisha first broke the WR. With no Worlds or Olympics on the calendar this year, could Wanyonyi follow in Rudisha's footsteps in 2026? *MB: Yeah or neah: Will Emmanuel Wanyonyi break the 800m WR in 2026?

Wanyonyi impressively held off Worlds bronze medalist Reynold Cheruiyot over the last 400 to win in a pb of 3:34.11. Thomas (11.01/21.89) ran a world leader in the 200 but her wait for a wind-legal sub-11 in the 100m goes on. All did not go well for world 800m champ Lilian Odira who was beaten in her specialty.

Emmanuel Wanyonyi ran wire-to-wire to win the men’s 800m world title in Tokyo, holding off Sedjati and Arop in an all-time classic final.

Josh Hoey shocked Lausanne with a 1:42.82 win over Olympic champ Emmanuel Wanyonyi. It was the first male American Diamond League 800m victory since Isaiah Harris won in 2021.

Wanyonyi now has six career sub-1:42s in the 800, one shy of David Rudisha's record, while Hoey is now 5-0 against rival Bryce Hoppel in 2025.

The fantasy matchup in the men's 1500 (five Paris Olympic medalists across the 800/1500) delivered a thriller as Olympic 800 champ Wanyonyi (3:35.18) used a 51.58 last lap to beat Yared Nuguse, Cole Hocker, and Josh Kerr.

At the start of 2024, only five men had ever broken 1:42. Five have done it in 2024 alone, and David Rudisha's 1:40.91 world record looks poised to fall. What is going on? Jonathan Gault interviews coaches and scientists from all over the world and unveils Project 99 - the quest for the first sub-1:40 800 in history. * Inside "Project 99": Why the 800m Is Faster Than Ever and the Race for the First Sub-1:40.

What a final night of track and field. Emmanuel Wanyonyi put on a masterclass in the men's 800 and was still nearly beaten by Marco Arop as Bryce Hoppel had to console himself with an American record. World record scares in both 4x400s, plus a jump-off in the high jump.

Kipyegon crushed 10k WR holder Beatrice Chebet by 6 seconds while Moraa lost to Lilian Odira and Reynold Cheruiyot edged out Daniel Munguti and Timothy Cheruiyot.

Soufiane El Bakkali got the win before the home crowd, Prudence Sekgodiso got a world leader in the 800, Emmanuel Wanyonyi kept winning and Shericka Jackson got the 200 win, but in a slow time.

In track and field, did you know you can win when you lose and lose when you win? We explain. Plus Nico Young and Colin Sahlman remain on fire. And why are the men's 100 guys so slow?

Marco Arop went from last to first on the final lap to get a dominant 800m gold for Canada.

Emmanuel Korir has owned the event the last few years when it has mattered most, but now that he's struggling will a teenager from Kenya replace him?

Lamecha Girma capped the Paris Diamond League with an impressive 7:52.11 world record. We break that down and the other non world record highlights including Sydney McLaughlin-Lavrone getting beat at 400, Keely Hodgkinson getting a PB and Noah Lyles a big 100 win.

Nuguse closed very well but Ingebrigtsen was too good and won in 3:32. El Bakkali’s time was the fastest steeple since 2012 and puts him 8th all-time.

Kenya hosted its biggest track meet ever and there were some incredible performances, including a dominant showing from the host nation. Here's what you missed if you were too busy watching the Pre Classic.
