Dylan Beard moves to no.11 all-time indoors and only 3 men in the last 15-years have run faster than his 7.38 (Grand H., Terrence T., David O.)

But more importantly in 2025, he keeps on WINNING

Honestly, it's going to be very hard to stop Jacious' path to success in 2025. She's running as if she never even got injured last year!
First stop might just be the World indoor podium ๐Ÿ‘€

Lisa Raye runs 7.13 for a High School record in the 60m, and she is followed close behind by Melanie Doggett who is only THIRTEEN YEARS OLD with a 7.17! ๐Ÿคฏ

A quick look at head-to-head records for Grand Slam Track's short sprint group of Fred, Kenny, Oblique, and Zharnel

*note heats/semis donโ€™t count as a loss unless an athlete fails to advance to the next round*

Glad we get to see Oblique not only race a bit more in 2025, but also run the 200m

Its crazy to think that a decade ago Zharnel was in the 2015 World Championship 200m final. Now entering 2025, he's still only 29 years old and better than ever!

Love that he's still competing, getting faster, and reinventing himself year after year. Will be dope to see him in GST next year ๐Ÿ’ฏ

If only people knew how dominant Adhemar da Silva was๐Ÿ”ฅ

Literally won almost everything possible from 1951-1959 including 2xOlympic๐Ÿฅ‡in 1952 & 1956 and 3xPanAm๐Ÿฅ‡in 1951, '55, & '59

Triple Jumping 16m may not seem that far today, but he set the WR on 5 occasions between 1950-1956

2012 Olympic๐Ÿฅ‡

WATCH: 16-year-old Gout Gout runs 20.04 to break the Australian and Oceania 200m record. ๐Ÿคฏ

๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ The previous record of 20.06 was set by Peter Norman at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City. Stood for 56 years until todayโ€ฆ

Had no idea that Makarawu ran in On spikes in Paris๐Ÿ‘€

He has a PB of 19.93 from back in April, but dropped times of 20.07, 20.16 and 20.10 throughout the rounds in Paris.

Zimbabwe๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ผ is definitely coming, and On is low key building up a sprint squad

The current 200m quality in Africa is insane right now:

19.46: L. Tebogo๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ผ
19.75: T. Orogot๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฌ
19.76: U. Onwuzurike๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฌ

Random women's 100mH stat:

12.30 or faster has been run 27 times in history
5 times: Yordanka Donkova
5 times: Keni Harrison
4 times: Ackera Nugent
3 times: Tobi Amusan
3 times: Ludmila Engquist

Ackera Nugent's career is just getting started and she's already one of the most consistent 100mH ever

Daryll has been winning Olmypic and World medals since 2016 but is low key just getting started ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿพ

Considering her consistency at both 100 and 200, don't be surprised if she wins a couple of the SLAMs in the short sprint group ๐Ÿ‘€

The Women's 400m is arguably in the most competitive era that we've ever seen in the history of the event.

That fact that the 3rd (Naser) and 4th (Paulino) fastest women in history are guaranteed to consistently race each other in 2025 is one of the best things for the sport right now๐Ÿ”ฅ
