This Week In Track & Field: A Controversial DQ For Sportsmanship/Showmanship; Results From Lievin/Torun/Perche/Boston As Championship Season Approaches
1h 29m
Chris Chavez and Preet Majithia break down a packed week of results from Levin, Toruń, Castellón, Boston, and more. Plus, a final look back at the Winter Olympics and a preview of what’s ahead.
– Keely Hodgkinson’s world record at Levin is still reverberating. It’s time to retire the “What about Athing Mu…” narrative.
– Georgia Hunter-Bell ran 4:00 flat again at Levin but was left disappointed after a chaotic pacing situation.
– The DQ heard ‘round the world: Theppiso Masalela of Botswana was disqualified from the 1500m in Toruń for an unsportsmanlike conduct gesture — a gun motion pointed at Azzedine Habz at the finish line.
– A potential Nader vs. Hocker showdown at World Indoors.
– Mondo Duplantis cleared 6.06m and debuted his new single “Feelin’ Myself” performed live.
– European distance runners have closed the gap on East Africans in road racing, at least in the 10K.
– Oregon’s DMR drama.
– Parker Wolfe ran 12:59 for his first-ever sub-13 minute 5000m.
– A light USA Indoors and Tokyo Marathon preview.
– Bonus: Final Winter Olympics wrap.
