The pair, training partners at Pure Athletics in Florida, will race on Thursday as World Indoor champ Anthony makes his Diamond League debut.

There was plenty of drama on day 2 of the 2026 USATF Indoor Championships. In the men’s 1500, Nathan Green and Luke Houser stunned Olympic medalists Cole Hocker and Yared Nuguse, who were left off the team. In the 800s, Cooper Lutkenhaus's flawless first pro season continued with his first U.S. title in the 800 as Addy Wiley won her first women's title in the women's 800. In the women's 1500, Nikki Hiltz extended their dominance bu thad to work for it while Jordan Anthony outdueled Noah Lyles in the 60m.

• Masterclass. Cooper Lutkenhaus wins US title #1. 1:46.68
• Nathan Green STUNS the world. Wins 2026 USA 1500 title. Cole Hocker only 5th Talk about the Hocker Shocker.

Yesterday, Botswana's Tshepiso Masalela was DQd for making a gun gesture and pointing it in the direction his chief rival. In 2022 at USAs, Noah Lyles did something very similar and was lauded on national TV in America for "posterizing" his rival. What do you think: Is it great showmanship or a something worthy of a DQ? *MB: Fair or foul: Tshepiso Masalela DISQUALIFIED for celebration / pretending to shoot Habz on finish line. Noah Lyles watch out.

The stars shined on Friday night in Tokyo. 5 gold medals were awarded on the night and all five went to people who had already won a previous global outdoor championship - Rai Benjamin (400h), Femke Bol (400h), Noah Lyles (200), Melissa Jefferson-Wooden (200), and Pedro Pichardo (TJ). We break it all down for you starting with the men's 5000 here Niel Laros got injured and Andreas Almgren was eliminated but Jakob Ingebrigtsen and all 3 Americans advanced before turning to the 800 semis where American Sage Hurta-Klecker ran well to make the final.

Plus the women's 800 heats were full of drama, a 21-year-old who needed a time quailifier to get out of the 400 won it, and Shelby Houlihan thinks she can run under 14:20.

Talk about high-stakes drama. Americans Josh Hoey and Yared Nuguse need to win Thursday's DL final to make it to next month's World Championships in Tokyo, but Emmanuel Wanyonyi and Niels Laros are standing in their way. And the meet ends with a scintillating 200m with Noah Lyles and Letsile Tebogo.

Kishane Thompson beat Olympic champion Noah Lyles 9.87 to 9.90 in Silesia, but the rivalry is far from over with Worlds in Tokyo looming and Lausanne next week.

Hodgkinson just missed her pb by running 1:54.74 in her first race in 12 months, Faith Kipyegon Kipyegon came just shy of the 8:06.11 WR in the 3000, Kishane Thompson beat Noah Lyles, 9.87 to 9.90, while Masai Russell (12.19) and Karsten Warholm (46.28) set DL records in the 100H/400H.

The Glare. Shove. Heated words. Lyles & Bednarek say they’ve made peace, but their rivalry could flare up again in Silesia.

Noah Lyles v. Kishane Thompson v. Kenny Bednarek is the best 100m race you'll see in 2025 outside of Worlds. Plus Keely Hodgkinson returns to the 800 for the first time since winning Olympic gold, Beatrice Chebet drops down to the 1500, and a world record attempt from Faith Kipyegon in the 3000.

Noah Lyles stared down Kenny Bednarek before crossing the line to win the 200m at USAs. Bednarek shoved him after the finish and called it “unsportsmanlike.” The tension, the quotes, and the moment captured in photos.

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 Olympic 100m champion and the Olympic 200m champion will square off over 200m at the Monaco Diamond League. Lyles has not lost a DL 200m in 6+ years but Tebogo won their last matchup in Paris. *MB: Fantasy track becomes reality: Monaco men's 200: Noah Lyles vs Letsile Tebogo. Who you got?

NFL star Tyreek Hill ran 10.15 in his return to the track — and held up a “Noah could never” sign afterward.

North America’s only street meet will return on May 17. Lyles, the Olympic 100m champ, will race the 150 while Georgia high school stars will also race.

Josh Hoey kept rolling, edging Grant Fisher to win the 1500 in 3:33.66 to Fisher's 3:33.99 as 2022 US indoor champ Heather MacLean (4:23.32) got a big win in the women's mile. Plus a Will Sumner update.

• Parker Valby’s Professional Debut @ New Balance Indoor Grand Prix  Valby broke her and Katelyn Tuohy's pb and ran 8:34.
• Parker’s lack of a kick means she will never win on the track
• Josh Hoey: Is it time to call a spade a spade? If it walks like a duck, runs 2:14 and 3:33 like a duck....
• Cameron Myers 7'33''12 3000m - how fast can he run this summer ? The teenager took down Hobbs Kessler.
• Hobbs Kessler 7:35! Amazing for a 800/1500m specialist
• Emma Coburn Last Place.
• Hobbs Kessler: “I don’t think anything over 7:30 (for 3k) is fast”
• Jess Hull? Where was she?

With Noah Lyles v Marcell Jacobs in the 100, Grant Fisher v Josh Hoey v Jake Wightman v Graham Blanks in the 1500, Parker Valby making her pro debut, and Olympic champs Julien Alfred, Rai Benjamin, Masai Russell and Grant Holloway all racing, this meet is loaded.

Our weekly recap is back with a vengeance. In it, we rave about how much better Africa is at the marathon than the mighty USA, wonder if it's bad that AOY awards are now nothing more than popularity contests and rave about 40+ runners.

Noah Lyles thinks the sport of track & field doesn't want to change. He may have some ideas to try and change it himself. He spoke with LetsRun.com and discussed his 2025 plans.

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.
