Day 1 of the 2023 Pre Classic started and ended with a bang. We break it all down and give our thoughts on everything except the mile, Rai Benjamin's big win, Christian Coleman making 2024 very interesting, Sha'Carri getting beat, Faith Kipyegon capping what may have been the greatest season ever by a distance runner, and the 529th performance all-time American record in the women's shot put.

From Jakob Ingebrigtsen's mile/3k double, a potential mile AR from Yared Nuguse, a potential WR from Shericka Jackson, & more, 2023 Pre has it all including Noah Lyles and Sha'Carri Richardson in the 100s.

Yared Nuguse has now gone 2nd, 3rd, 1st, 1st in 4 DL appearances while Grant Fisher impressed with a 12:54 5k in his return from injury.

We asked Mondo and Warholm what the chances were of them actually getting together and racing a 100, one-on-one, and it produced one of the most entertaining back-and-forths we've ever seen at a press conference. *MB: Mondo vs Warholm at 100m - Who you got? The two stars have basically agreed to race after we asked them about it

Jonathan Gault has the highlights from an entertaining pre-race press conference for the Weltklasse Zurich featuring a bunch of newly-crowned world champions.

We share our 5 biggest storylines of the 2023 World Athletics Championships which start Saturday in Budapest and should be amazing. Sha'Carri Richardson's quest for gold, Noah Lyles quest for the WR, and Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Faith Kipyegon quest for doubles all make the list.

Hagos Gebrhiwet won a stacked 5k in 12:42, and Karsten Warholm broke the DL 400H record again with his 46.51.

Recently Alex Geula sat down with Karsten Warholm and his coach, Leif Olav Alnes, at the IK Tjalve club in Oslo to understand Warholm's beginnings, his career, and the sprint side of Norwegian training.

The track world's eyes will be on Munich starting on Monday as Europe's biggest stars are out for continental glory.

El Bakkali held off Lamecha Girma to win the steeple as both men broke 8:00, but disaster struck in the 400 hurdles as Warholm said after the race he believes he tore his hamstring.

• MB: Avinash Sable, INDIA runs monster 8:12.48 steeple in Rabat, behind Bakkali (7:58.28), and Girma (7:59.24).

Karsten Warholm opens up his 2022 season and the men's steeple and 800s are LOADED. We can't wait. *MB: Official 2022 Rabat DL Discussion Thread (2-4 pm ET Sunday, CNBC)

Warholm will run his first race since Tokyo and his first 400 of 2021. Is sub-44 in the cards? And how will Thompson Herah follow her 10.54 in Eugene on Saturday? Tune in on Thursday to find out.

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

Warholm had been chasing Kevin Young's 46.78 world record for two years and finally got in front of the home fans in Oslo.

Yet again, Warholm gave the WR scare but came up a bit short tonight in Rome. Prior to this year, no man had run 47.10 or faster more than once in a season. Warholm has now done it four times in the last 35 days.

The 3000 should be incredible, while this may be Warholm's last shot at the 400 hurdles WR in 2020. Plus who will take down the stacked women's 800 that features 4 of the 5 fastest women of 2020?

No world records fell today in Ostrava but there was plenty of great action as a ton of BIG names picking up wins as the likes of Laura Muir, Faith Kipyegon, Jakob Ingebrigtsen, Ryan Crouser, Karsten Warholm, Christian Taylor and Sifan Hassan all vanquished the competition.

Warholm had to settle for the 2nd best mark in history. He now is the first man to record two sub-47 clockings.
