No one has ever started their marathon career like Kelvin Kiptum of Kenya. Plus are USA marathoners getting soft by requesting a 6 a.m. start time for the Olympic Trials?

Hassan medalled in the 1500 at Worlds on August 22 and won Chicago in the second-fastest time ever just 43 days later.

Plus Conner Mantz has thoughts on the Olympic Marathon Trials and the qualifying system.

Can Ruth Chepngetich, who ran 2:14:18 in Chicago last year, get close to Tigst Assefa's 2:11:53 WR? How will Sifan Hassan do after her World Championship triple three weeks ago?

Kipyegon closed in an absurd 56.59 for her final 400 to join Bernard Lagat (2007) as the only athletes to pull off the double at Worlds.

Sifan Hassan was 30 meters from gold but went down after contact with Tsegay in the home straight.

Sifan Hassan fell to the track just 10 strides from World 10,000m gold and then 23 minutes later less than 10 meters from the finish Femke Bol did the same in the mixed gender 4x400. Video and results of this crazy night.

All three Americans advanced in the women's 1500 while 2/3 made it in the men's steeple (Benard Keter was eliminated).

In stark contrast to how two of America's top female track stars seemingly have to be begged to compete in a single event at the World Championships, the Netherlands' Sifan Hassan announced today that she will once again for the 1,500, 5,000 and 10,000 triple at a global championship. And she's doing so less than four months after winning the London Marathon in shock fashion. *MB: Sifan Hassan to run all three events at worlds

There is no bigger lock at Worlds than Faith Kipyegon in the 1500, but the battle for 2nd and 3rd should be fierce. Could an American medal for the first time since 2017?

World champ/WR holder Letesenbet Gidey faces Olympic champ Sifan Hassan but both women may be underdogs to 5k world champ Gudaf Tsegay.

From her Diamond League double in 2018 to her Olympic triple in 2021 to her London Marathon heroics, Hassan creates excitement wherever she goes.

Is Hassan the GOAT? What about Kiptum? Should Noah Lyles panic? How good is Issam Asinga?

In one of the most stunning performances in marathoning history, mile world record holder Sifan Hassan came from behind to win her marathon debut in London over arguably the greatest field ever assembled.

Her coach Tim Rowberry said Hassan has done "way less" that they would have liked in training due to a January illness, but she's ready for the challenge.

"I just want to be with the best and see how I run," Hassan said. "...I’m just a curious person."

Jonathan Gault analyzes the historically deep fields, Sifan Hassan's debut, Emily Sisson vs. Keira D'Amato, & Mo Farah's farewell?

No American man or woman has ever won the Diamond League 5k final, but Fisher & Alicia Monson will both be in the conversation in Zurich. *MB: Can Grant Fisher or Alicia Monson win the 2022 Diamond League 5000 final on Wednesday?

The DL is back with a big one. We can't wait for the men's 200 (Lyles, Knighton, Michael Norman), women's 100 (SAFP, Jackson, Thompson-Herah) and men's 1500 (Ingebrigtsen, Cheruiyot, Hoare & more). For the record, the women's 100 WR is 10.49 and the men's 200 WR is 19.19.
