clean, this is Tamar McAllum of the University of Tennessee running a time of 9.94 seconds at the USC open on April 20. This performance now places Mallum as the new

fastest

man in the

world

for 2024 and keep in mind he is only 19 years old with a legal wind of positive 2.0, this is a new

world

number one Mark and just look at the way he who took off in the second half, according to his World Athletics page, this was a new PR by more than a quarter of a second, so this man is certainly in a good position. Top Flight's track record places Macallum just ahead of AE as the world's new No. 1 sprinter in the men's 100 meters.

However, just a few hours later in Claremont, Florida, this happened 9.93 seconds, another world number one, this time from a 17-year-old athlete. Christian Miller drag racing fans get out your popcorn because 2024 is officially unfolding with new names and drama all around. It really seems like no one is safe when it comes to drag racing right now because one of the

high

lights of this past weekend was Christian Coleman versus Fred Curley in the Shaman Diamond League pitting two world champions against each other in a huge stage, but for one reason or another this race only resulted in a 10.13 finish, 210 behind the 17-year-old athlete. new world number one, but it is a national sub 20 record for the 17 year old, there are officially less than 100 days until the Paris Olympics finally arrive and we have some incredible athletes who are setting the track on fire and while the Sprinters are officially starting to impress, there's a lot going on in athletics right now in the field events and the marathon, so let's take a look at what happened last week and get more and more excited about the Olympics ahead.

They approach quickly. Track fans rejoice because we have officially entered the busiest season of the year and this weekend was a perfect example of this as we had the Shaman Dam League taking on the classic Kip Kano, the Mount Sack Relays and who could forget the London Marathon which brought us some of the best marathon athletes. ever compete first, we have to start with the man who broke another world record Mondo Duplantis in the pole vault Rising over 6.24 m in Shaman China this man is not human there are strong arguments to claim that Duplantis is, in fact, the greatest Polish Volter will ever live, as it seems he really can break a record almost whenever he wants.

This is the eighth world record Mondo has set since 2020 and it's almost a guarantee that he will break more, especially considering the fact that his estimated actual height in this clearance was 6.29m. Staying on Shaman China, there were many other notable performances from some big names in the sport. We saw Shakeri Richardson make her outdoor debut by taking second in the women's 200 meters, but her first match wasn't as spectacular. She performed that many expected as she was just 3100 seconds behind Tori Lewis of Australia. Imagine that being Tory Lewis in this situation at only 19 years old you just defeated last year's world champion in the 100 meters and, honestly, she is one of the biggest names in the sport right now with over 2 million followers on Instagram and while the 200m is certainly not as strong for Richardson as the 100m, this is a big win at this level, in the women's hurdles we saw a classic showdown with some of the top finishers. athletes of all time, including current Olympic champion, world record holder, defending world champion and new Meed 60 meter world record holder Devon Charlton, and for this race it would ultimately be Jasmine Kamacho Quinn with another super fast time of 12.45 seconds, the second

fastest

time.

In the world this season other notable victories were those of Nuestra Señora Pino in the women's 400, Valerie and in the women's discus who broke the meeting record with a throw of 69.8 M and Marco rope in the men's 800 achieving a new world leadership of 143.6 mm. on Faith Gon's 1500 world record with one lap remaining, both Seay and Bur Halam were right on the world record. Pace, in fact, really looked like they were slightly ahead of the world record. Tempo set for the wave lights inside, but just as the bell rang on the last lap, it was Seay who took off in this last 400.

Keep moving and she put in a big effort to break the world record. But she ultimately fell just 1 second off Kon's mark in 34911, while SE managed a time of 35030, but this time still places her as the third-fastest female 1500 athlete of all time for a season opener as this. This was beyond impressive and is already building tension between her and Kon over Olympic gold. Every Diamond League meeting always brings out some big names. this sport and stay tuned because there is another event just around the corner in Shanghai this coming weekend, but jumping just below the equator was the Kano Children's Classic in Nairobi, Kenya, which in some ways was even more impressive than the Diamond League meeting in China.

To start, we saw Kenya's Mary MOA achieve an impressive time of 157.6 in the women's 800 and, along with her, there were five women in total under 2 minutes for this two-lap event. This performance shows that MOA is putting together a solid season of fitness, so the showdown between Key Hodkinson and Thing Mo at the Olympics is already proving to be one of the big events to look forward to. We saw a classic showdown in the men's 100m as USA's Kenny Benic took a solid win in 9.91. seconds, which would have been a new world advantage, but the wind was slightly above what was allowed at positive 2.2 m/s.

Baner is continually one of the sleepiest athletes in athletics, but let's not forget that this man was the silver medalist in Tokyo. In the 200 he was also a silver medalist at the world championships in Eugene, so it's no surprise to see him defeat such a strong field in the 100 and in the 800 we saw another world record just a few hours after Marco. ao, when 19 year old Emanuel wani ran a time of 143.5s just 4100s faster than Marco aope and lastly we had a classic battle in the 200M with Courtney Lindsay and let us see boho fight to the tape in a 200 meter race to remember, both finished with 19.71%.

All of the running events in the Kip Kano classic were truly world class with multiple world leading times, but the performance of the day had to be Ethan Catsburg of Canada who unleashed a massive launch. the men's hammer of 84.38%, this throw was a new world lead of 3.62 m, which is almost a full 12 feet for the Americans, this performance managed to make a small dent in the all-time top 10 list , but as you can see, the main athletes on this list are Eastern Europeans from the 1980s to the early 2000s and many suspect that performance-enhancing drugs were widespread among these athletes, so perhaps time this season or the next, Catsburg could be the athlete to dethrone the oldest world record. in men's athletics, as Yuri Setic's world record is still more than 2m ahead of this launch, let's now head to London for one of the most anticipated marathons of the year.

It's the 2024 London Marathon. Now, before this race even took place, they kept a time of 30 seconds. pause for course record and world record holder Kelvin Kiptum, who tragically passed away earlier this season in a car accident in Kenya. It still feels surreal that Kiptum is not here, so this moment of silence was a great way to honor this man's legacy now. At this year's installment there was a lot of talent on the roads including six athletes on the men's side with PRS under 204 and on the women's side we had even more star power as we had three of the four fastest women of all times now for men.

In the race we saw a real battle in the final stages when Alexander Mutiso and the Ethiopian legend Kenisa B, 41, fought to the T, but with a very strong finish it was Matisu who won. This was a big moment for Matisu, who has some incredible personal bests, including a sub 58 half marathon, and while his win was surprising, Kena B's finish in second place was equally notable because this was not only proof that he is truly a timeless wonder in athletics, but he also managed to break his. Master's world record by just 4 seconds in this race, if there was ever an argument to be made that b is more than deserving of making this year's Olympic team, this was it for a few years.

B's career seemed to be in jeopardy because he was having difficulty finishing his marathons, but in his two previous marathon races he placed very

high

and was extremely consistent, so this should be a clear race that puts B on the Olympic team. . I think she deserves more than one last Olympic race now in the On the women's side it was another very close race, but the victory ultimately went to cheerleader Pérez Jep in 2616, making her one of four women to surpass 217 In this race. This was the first time in history that four women broke 217 in the exact same marathon. and this time it was also a new single world record for women of perz jip cheer cheer returning to the track, lastly the Mount Saac relays were held this weekend and we finally got to see City mlin rone Julian Alfred Jenna prandini and Dena Asher Smith in the women's 4x100 relay and although the Cury formula included the City mclin and Company International team with Alfred and Asher Smith absolutely rocked this race with a massive win by 0.9 seconds, this race had some big names competing but in reality It was just a way to start the season.

As mlac and levrone's main event is the 400 and 400 hurdles, but it was still great to see everyone on the track finally competing in 2024, we also had the opportunity to witness American hurdle master Ry Benjamin compete in the 400 where took a solid win in 44.4, two won this race by more than a full second and man, did he ever look relaxed running that fast? It's almost impossible not to be excited about the athletics landscape right now, there are so many officially big names. getting their seasons underway, so be sure to stay tuned for more content because the next few months look very promising.
