One of the bigger non-Hayward crowds I’ve seen at a track invite in the U.S. Props to the @sound_running team on a strong marketing effort, including months of IG ads in the LA area for months.
Reaction to this has been strange...Chris has been clear that Citius isn't a Big J Journalism outlet—it's a platform for track fans. Getting paid by meets to distribute content is standard practice in the sport. Not judging whether that's right or wrong, just stating the reality.
BREAKING NEWS: With three years to go until the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, reigning 400m hurdles World champion 🇳🇱 Femke Bol has announced she’ll shift her focus to the 800 meters starting in 2026.
She leaves behind one of the most accomplished résumés in hurdles history:
🏆 2× World Champion (2023, 2025)
🥇 2× European Champion (2022, 2024)
🥉 2× Olympic Bronze Medalist (2021, 2024)
🇪🇺 European Record Holder — 50.95, #2 all-time
The Dutch national record in the 800m is 1:55.54 by Ellen van Langen when she won Olympic gold in 1992.
Next up: Two laps, no barriers.

Houlihan got stuck behind Andrews when the big move was made with 300 to go. That was the difference between her having a chance to compete for a medal and ultimately finishing 4th.
2ND FASTEST OF ALL TIME ‼️
@GoSydGo storms to a championship record of 47.78, to win her first 400m global title 👑

Crushing that no Americans will be in the men’s 800 final. Both Brazier and Hoppel should be super unhappy with their positioning and tactics in those semis.
