This has never happened before... At the Prefontaine classic diamond league final

The Eugene diamond league was likely the best 2 days of track and field ever, or at least outside of the Olympics or world championships. 2 world records and countless continental and national records. As well as pretty much the best in the world all competing against each other in every event. Three things stood out more than others…

Gudaf Tsegay 5000m world record. for anyone who wants to know what a sub 14 minute 5K feels like go run a 67 second 400m and imagine that 12.5 times none stop

Mondo Duplantis world record Pole Vault – It’s mondo against himself, world record after world record after world record, he’s so much better than everyone else the only thing he has left to do in the sport is to continue getting those world record bonuses and race Sha’carri Richardson in the 100m. Which Mondo would more than certainly win but it would be fun to watch

Jakob Ingebrigtsen, had quite a few doubters after placing second in the 1500m at worlds, but he silenced a lot of them by winning back to back diamond league titles. Running the 3rd fastest time in history for a 3:43 mile and then following it up with the 3rd fastest 3000m in history a day later. It’s safe to say next year he seems capable of breaking anything from the 1500m to the 5000m world records.
