12:44.09!!! INDOOR 5000M WORLD RECORD BY GRANT FISHER!! WOW!!!

The previous indoor 5000m record was 12:49.60 by Kenenisa Bekele in 2004.

That's two world records in the past week for him.

HE DID THAT.

Would you call this a power snatch? it's definitely close. A new Hang snatch PB, 80kg. My best from ground & blocks is 84kg so we're getting there! #snatch #olympiclifting #trackandfield #decathlon

8.54! 2nd best time ever. Finished 2nd in the race despite clipping the first hurdle and twisting/ falling forward.

EUROPEAN RECORD

Sander Skotheim reigned supreme at the Indoor Combined Events meet in Tallinn, setting a European heptathlon record 🔥

The Norwegian recorded 6484 points, breaking Kevin Mayer's mark of 6479 points from 2017 🇳🇴

The women's track and field rankings top three teams are the Mustangs comfortably in 1st with 129.5 points, the Guelph Gryphons in 2nd with 93.5 pts and the Saskatchewan Huskies in third with 73pts

Per me, the University of Manitoba Bisons have taken over the Western Mustangs in the Men's track and field Usports Rankings. The Bisons with 94.5pts to Mustangs 91pts. Alberta golden bears are third with 54pts.

Do humans feel pain more if from a high transfer of heat out of the body, (ie. Touched by a very cold metal) or having very low temperatures (ie. Fingers becoming very cold from the weather)? My instinct tells me that I react more to a very cold metal than having cold fingers

Keeping things quick and snappy. Not the cleanest catches on these power cleans, but the pulls are feeling great for 100kg (220lbs). #TrackandField #Decathlon #Training #Olympiclifts

4.42m from 5 lefts! Finally got on some big poles and actually executed the extension at the top. More to come once I get on some 15'7" poles

COMPLETE list of all 48 Grand Slam Track athletes:

COMPLETE list of all 48 Grand Slam Track athletes.

Is there any data on how many consecutive games have been missed? Is this increase due to more multi-game injuries or more athletes missing single games for small things?

Concept: take the Hyrox race, expand it to 10 events that further showcase the full spectrum of one's athleticism, i.e. speed, endurance, strength, coordination, ability to jump.

The winner earns the title of "World's Greatest Athlete."

We'll call this event The Decathlon.

Top automatically qualify in the Decathlon you need to put up a top-56 ALL TIME SCORE. For reference, 56th all time in the men's 100m is 9.90! The Decathlon is the most competitive it's ever been and still it seems to draw almost no attention.

Some first impressions and observations: • The long distance group racing 3000m & 5000m will always get a day off. No Slam features two 5Ks on the same day. • Men's 800m/1500m group will go: 1500-800 in Jamaica on Day 2/3; 1500-800 in Miami on Day 1/2; 800-1500 in Philly on Day 1/2; 800-1500 in LA on Day 2/3. • Women's 800/1500m group will go: 800-1500 in Jamaica on Day1/2; 1500-800 in Miami on Day 2/3; 1500-800 in Philly on Day 2/3; 800-1500 in LA on Day 1/2. • The 100m/200m group will primarily race 100m and then 200m on back-to-back days at three of the four Slams. In Philly, they'll go 200 on Day 1 and then 100m on Day 3. • Athletes competing in the hurdles/flat race combos will always hurdle before the flat sprints race. The flat 100m or 400m races featuring hurdle specialists won't be contested on the same day that 100m and 400m specialists take that race on.

Just released: @grandslamtrack.bsky.social has unveiled its events for each day of all four Slams in its inaugural season in 2025 ⬇️

Track fans everywhere have a basketball team to cheer for

A large T, next to the Toronto Tempo WNBA team name

Canada's first WNBA team has chosen a name: the Toronto Tempo.

I had low expectations before watching, but somehow It was worse than I expected

Finally was able to get a good extension from 5 lefts. Still a relatively small pole. #PoleVault #Decathlon

First hurdle practice over 42" hurdles this year. Aggression is there but I really gotta get up on my toes between hurdles.

That statement isn’t helping save anything. Just going to make purists 😡. He should have said that he felt he can best market track and if this grows they’ll hopefully include field in the future.

Without picking a WR that's been recently broken, I'd say the men's Hammer Throw. Ethan Katzberg was so consistent last year, I think there's a good chance he breaks the world record.

Gymnasts often make the best vaulters. So to help with my vaulting I'm training some gymnastics. Here's me doing my first giant a couple weeks ago! I can already feel a difference in my inversion. #Polevault #trakandfield #decathlon

What a disappointment. How long until WA accepts the fact that having certain years without a world championship for EVERY track and field event is stopping our sport from growing. We, as fans, want to see all the best athletes compete, every year, period.

Dissecting my block start: This one had a really great first step, good extension through the hips and low(ish) heel recovery. A good starting place for the season. #TrackandField

One year ago on the left vs today on the right. It's crazy how it takes so long to make such little adjustments.
