A Diamond League title and a trip to the World Championships. That's what's on the line for Yared Nuguse. Nuguse has captured the sport's attention with his attempt to qualify for Worlds after he faltered at USAs. But a win won't come easy. Phanuel Koech, whose ascension to…

In possibly the most important race of the #ZurichDL, Josh Hoey looks to repeat his success in Lausanne and book his trip to Worlds after failing at USAs. There are SO MANY storylines for this race, see below for more ⬇️ #ZurichDiamondLeague #DiamondLeague #trackandfield

On Thursday, Marileidy Paulino puts her diamond league crown out for the taking as she comes in as the heavy favorite versus a high quality field which includes reigning silver medalist Salwa Eid Naser. Do you see a one-sided beatdown? #diamondleague #Lausannedl #Lausanne

The men’s 100 diamond league title is wide open this year, with top contenders like Lyles, Bednarek, Kishane and Oblique missing from the event. Who ya got in possibly the tightest race of the meet?! #Zurich #ZurichDiamondLeague #DiamondLeague #track #trackandfield

Much like the women's 800m, the absence of some of the sport's biggest names in the 1500m opens the door for a new Diamond League champion. Jessica Hull's 3:50 PB is clearly the best in the field, making her a prime favorite to win her first DL title. However, our data actually…

The men's 200m looks like it will come down to a head-to-head between two stars: Noah Lyles and Letsile Tebogo. Lyles is fresh off an American 200m title, while Tebogo's fitness is uncertain. This will be just their second 200m meeting since Tebogo's gold in Paris. Will Lyles…

With no Keely Hodgkinson to contend with, the women's 800m presents several athletes with the opportunity to claim a Diamond League title. At the top of the list are our favorites, Georgia Hunter Bell and Tsige Duguma, each of whom has secured DL wins this season. But with the…

An all-Ethiopian podium? With Welteji, Tsegay, and Hailu all entered, don't be surprised if the East African powerhouse sweeps the field. Diribe Welteji, just 23, has solidified herself as a world-class middle-distance runner and comes in as our favorite. Georgia Hunter Bell and…

It's no surprise to see Melissa Jefferson-Wooden as a strong favorite for Silesia's Diamond League tomorrow. With a nearly flawless 2025 season under her belt, MJW will look to impress in her first race outside of North America this year. Côte d’Ivoire's Ta Lou-Smith is who we…

After missing the podium at USAs, both Yared Nuguse and Hobbs Kessler will look to rebound in Silesia. Nuguse has been transparent about his intent to still head to Tokyo via a Diamond League Wild Card, and that path will start tomorrow. But with how talented this field is, and…

How could you not be excited for this race? After the Lyles-Bednarek debacle at USAs, this rematch has stolen the spotlight. But watch out for Kishane Thompson, who is our favorite after winning the Jamaican Championships and the Pre Classic. In a field that legitimately goes 6-8…

Marileidy Paulino has only lost one 400-meter race since the start of 2024 and is our clear favorite in this world-class field. However, that one loss came at the hands of Salwa Eid Naser in Jamaica this year, so Paulino will look to make that race an outlier, not a pattern.…

The US Women's 1500m Final is approximately an hour away, where Nikki Hiltz will look to make it three consecutive national championships. However, they will face stiff competition from a talented field including Sinclaire Johnson, Emily Mackay, and Heather MacLean. Can Hiltz…

With Olympic gold medalist Quincy Hall sidelined due to injury, the men's 400m may have lost a little bit of its luster, but it has also opened the door for several athletes chasing a national title. Our favorites, Jacory Patterson and Chris Bailey, will look to continue their…

Olympic bronze medalist Grant Fisher will look to reaffirm his place at the top of American distance running in tonight’s 10,000m final. However, Graham Blanks and Nico Young's steady ascension into world-class status will provide Fisher with a serious challenge. Not to mention,…

The USATF Outdoor Championships launch into action today, and the first final on the track will be the women's 10,000m. Reigning national champion Weini Kelati will look to defend her title against a field that includes established contenders like Karissa Schweizer and Elise…

If you were to make a 4x800 in the World Champs, there’s no doubt in my mind that the US would dominate. That’s how difficult it’s going to be to make this team and with Hoey and Hoppel already in the 1:42s, it may take a 1:42 to make this team. #usatf #track #usatfOutdoors

While the men’s 800 has been stacked this year, the women’s 800 has been precisely the opposite. Athing Mu-Nikolayaev has looked far from her best and might not make the final, and really only Addison Wiley looks like a lock to make the team. #trackandfield #usatf #usatfOutdoors

The women’s 400 will be an interesting clash between SML and Aaliyah Butler. You have to applaud SML for challenging herself from her main event and while she has the fastest PR, Butler has looked sharp this season and just ran 49.09. #sml #trackandfield #usatf #usatfOutdoors

In an event featuring 3 of the top 5 finishers at the Olympic Games, including gold medalist Cole Hocker, we will soon see if the proverbial favorites can survive the rounds and advance to the world stage. Nuguse will look to ride his momentum into a national championship, while…
