WORLD RECORD ATTEMPT 👀📍

Audrey Werro 🇨🇭 is aiming to break the world record in the women’s 800m at the Paris Diamond League tomorrow, 28 June.

The pacemaker has been asked to go through 400m in 55.50 seconds, with the green wave lights set at 1:53.28 pace — the time of the current WR.

Big breakthrough for Bradley Nkoana 🇿🇦!

The South African sprint sensation powered to a new PB of 9.95s (1.6) to win the men's 100m at the Immobel Meeting in Belgium.

With the performance, Nkoana becomes the 12th South African man to break the 10-second barrier.

@liscolite @TrackGazette His times suggest otherwise remember he has the “world lead” at 19.67s.

Comparing the Beijing 2015 VS. Beijing 2027 World Championships standard for the men!

For the first time in the history of the World Championships, to qualify for the men's 100m, a man has to break 10 seconds.

21.87s!!🔥
Meet Record ☑️

The word strong would be an understatement 😮‍💨

A perfectly judged run from Collen Kebinatshipi to claim the win in the 400m in 43.92 seconds ⏱️ (MR).

The @WorldAthletics should investigate if there was a cover up of the World Relays 4x400m starts in lane 3 between Day 1 and Day 2 👀

Lane 3 athlete appears to start from noticeably different positions relative to the lane 4 marker.

Take a look at Day 1 👇🧵
