This Week In Track and Field: Rome Diamond League Recap + World Athletics Test Events Mostly Flop At Track Lab

This week, Chris Chavez, Paul Hof-Mahoney and Preet Majithia recap the Rome Diamond League and the Track Lab event in Switzerland.

Rome Diamond League

– The women's steeplechase saw Winfred Yavi come heartbreakingly close to a world record, missing by just .07 seconds.

– Faith Kipyegon extended her unbeaten streak in the women's 1500.

– In the men's 5000m, Hagos Gebrhiwet outkicked a loaded field to win after the world record attempt fizzled out.

– Letsile Tebogo dazzled in the men's 100, celebrating early and still securing a win in 9.87 seconds.

– Ryan Crouser continued his dominance in the shot put, recording six throws over 22 meters, including a meet-record 22.49m.

Track Lab

This unique event introduced new and modified disciplines, including a completely new mile steeplechase and adjusted sprint formats with zero-tolerance reaction times. The field events saw significant changes with the pole vault measuring being changed, the long jump featuring an extended take-off zone and the javelin throw only measured if it improved on previous attempts.
