Camryn Rogers Reflects On Third Straight Global Hammer Throw Title In Tokyo, Moving To No. 2 All-Time
At only 26 years old, Camryn Rogers had already created a legacy in the women’s hammer throw that few could match. Winning a World title in 2023 and an Olympic title in 2024, she had emerged as the most consistent championship performer in the midst of the best era in the event’s history.On Monday, she took the next major leap in her career, becoming the fourth woman to break the 80 meter barrier and the third to win three or more global titles. Her 80.51m second-round effort secured gold in Tokyo, moved Rogers up to No. 2 on the all-time list, and decimated one of the best fields ever assembled by nearly three full meters.After receiving her medal, Rogers sat down with Paul Hof-Mahoney to open up on the emotions of an iconic victory, her experiences with some of the sport’s biggest legends, keys to her consistency in an event defined by inconsistency, and so much more.____________Host: Paul Hof-Mahoney | @phofmahoney on InstagramGuest: Camryn Rogers | @rogers_camryn on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr on Instagram____________PRESENTED BY ASICSFor the third consecutive year, CITIUS MAG is proud to partner with ASICS for our global championship coverage.

One-On-One With Isaac Nader After His Shocking 1500m World Championship Gold Medal | INTERVIEW
It’s not unreasonable to say that no one could’ve predicted this podium. That’s not to say that Isaac Nader, Jake Wightman, and Reynold Cheruiyot aren’t all medal-worthy contenders in their own rights, just that the series of circumstances that had to stack on top of one another to make this particular outcome happen was highly improbable.Without Jakob Ingebrigtsen to assume the role of pacemaker, the field hit 400 meters in a relatively pedestrian 59.45, and each successive second that the tempo lagged injected a little extra variability into the last lap. No one saw Kerr’s untimely calf injury coming: the Scotsman is remarkably consistent in global finals, with his lowest finish of the decade being sixth in 2022. And heading into the last lap, one measly second separated the top 12 contenders.Nader and Wightman are both known for their footspeed, and the race was set up perfectly for them to take advantage. In particular, Wightman has looked like a rejuvenated runner throughout these championships after missing the last two British teams with injuries and changing coaches in 2024. Nader won the Oslo Dream Mile earlier this season and has finished near the front of a few other Diamond Leagues, but this was still only the second global final of his career and doesn’t have the shiny PBs of some of his competitors.But that didn’t matter on the homestretch, when Niels Laros looked vulnerable for the first time in months, eventually fading to fifth, and Nader swung into lane three for the first time after riding the rail to power past both Cheruiyots and nip Wightman at the line by 0.02 seconds. Even though this is an event where fans often feel passionately about their favorite athlete, we can all appreciate the fact that, when the dust settled, the crazy ride was fun for everyone.____________Host: Chris Chavez | @chris_j_chavez on InstagramGuest: Isaac Nader | @isaacnader on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr on Instagram____________PRESENTED BY ASICSFor the third consecutive year, CITIUS MAG is proud to partner with ASICS for our global championship coverage.

Clayton Young After Taking 9th Place At The 2025 World Championships Marathon | Recap + Reflection
Clayton Young is carving out a reputation for consistency on the sport’s biggest stages and was the top American marathoner at the World Championships in Tokyo.Young fought through chaos — an early false start, a massive pack that stayed bunched past halfway, even a fall at 14 kilometers where he was clipped from behind and hit the pavement. He bounced right back, gave a thumbs up to the cameras, and rejoined the leaders. For nearly 40 kilometers he was right there, stride for stride with the world’s best, before the brutal late pace broke the field apart.In the end, Tanzania’s Alphonce Simbu took gold in 2:09:48 in a photo finish, but Young battled through to take ninth in 2:10:43 — the same place he earned in Paris last summer.He crossed the line, emptied the tank and showed once again why he’s among America’s most reliable marathoners in championship racing.He spoke with Chris Chavez LIVE from the ASICS House in Tokyo.____________Host: Chris Chavez | @chris_j_chavez on InstagramGuest: Clayton Young | @_clayton_young_ on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr on Instagram____________PRESENTED BY ASICSFor the third consecutive year, CITIUS MAG is proud to partner with ASICS for our global championship coverage.

Grace Stark’s Story From A Devastating Leg Injury To Now Becoming A World Championship Bronze Medalist
A year ago in Paris, Grace Stark made her Olympic debut and finished fifth in the 100-meter hurdles. It was a taste of the big stage and a “delayed but not denied” moment, as she put it. In Tokyo, she delivered on that promise.Stark stormed to a bronze at the 2025 World Championships with a time of 12.34 seconds. In one of the deepest fields in championship history — featuring Olympic champion Masai Russell, world record holder Tobi Amusan and reigning champ Danielle Williams — Stark emerged as the only American to reach the podium and just edged out Russell to claim Team USA’s lone medal of the night.For Stark, the medal is proof of resilience. After a devastating injury at Florida nearly ended her career, she fought her way back to be among the world’s best. Now, she’s a global medalist and her story may just be beginning.She joined Chris Chavez and Anderson Emerole at the CITIUS MAG HQ to talk about it all.____________Hosts: Chris Chavez | @chris_j_chavez on Instagram + Anderson Emerole | @atkoeme on InstagramGuest: Grace Stark | @grace_stark on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr on Instagram____________PRESENTED BY ASICSFor the third consecutive year, CITIUS MAG is proud to partner with ASICS for our global championship coverage.
