Lamecha Girma and Gudaf Tsegay wanted WRs in the 2000m and 3000m but just missed as Girma ran 4:51.23 and Tsegay 8:17.11. And have we found the latest Ethiopian prodigy in Biniam Mehary? *Official 2024 Lievin Indoor Live Thread .

El Bakkali has owned the steeplechase in recent years and is better than ever in 2023, but is he even the favorite for Worlds?

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.

Lamecha Girma negative split the 3000m perfectly to take down Mohamed Katir and Daniel Komen's 25 year-old record.

We've been doing LetsRun.com since 2000 and we're not sure we've ever experienced what we'll witness on Wednesday - an American racing in Europe with a shot at a distance world record.

Barega's claim to being the best distance running on the planet grows stronger as the BTC's Marc Scott snags a bronze. Plus the men's 4 x 400 was eliminated despite a heroic effort from Isaiah Harris.

Jakob Ingebrigtsen got his WR but Gudaf Tsegay was denied hers after an early fall. There were world leaders for Natoya Goule (1:58.46) in the 800, Grant Holloway (7.35) in the 60 hurdles, and Dawit Seyaum (8:23.24) in the 3k.

The Kenyan men had won every steeple they competed in at the Olympics since man first walked on the moon. No longer.

Cheruiyot looked like his old self by winning in Monaco for the fourth straight year, while Amos clocked a world-leading 1:42.91 in the 800. Lamecha Girma also ran a world leader in the steeple (8:07.75) despite kicking a lap early.

This was a World Championships final for the ages won by .01 by Conseslus Kipruto.
