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.

Plus a big win streaks get snapped while others get extended. And Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone gets paid despite avoiding the Diamond League like the plague while Grant Holloway doesn't despite running it all the time.

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.

A record 11 men have broken 1:43 this year, including three under 1:42. Is Djamel Sedjati the new king of the event or can Emmanuel Wanyonyi or someone else take him down in Paris?

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?

Tsegay, who holds the indoor 1500 WR but won gold in the 10,000 at Worlds, will healdline the 1500. Noah Lyles, Gabby Thomas andJake Wightman already were announced earlier.  The event sold out last year*Buy Tickets  *Meet website

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?

Redemption was sweet for Marco Arop and Carlos Villarreal, but where were US champs Donavan Brazier, Craig Engels, Teahna Daniels, and more?

We think Texas A&M's Devin Dixon, who set the American collegiate record of 1:45.27 this year, and NCAA women's 1000m record holder, Penn State's Danae Rivers, will be tough to beat in the 800s at NCAAs.
