WATCH: Mondo Duplantis v Karsten Warholm over 100m 🔥

The anticipation was high and both world record-holders certainly delivered in Zurich ⚡

Duplantis clocked 10.37 (0.1) to Warholm's 10.47 🤯

Strongly prefer the Eurosport coverage where the focus is on the sport, and not celebrity presenters

[Peter kennaugh @Petekennaugh]

How many times do you have to change channel on BBC to continue watching one sport ? Could watch Eurosport but BBC is just so olympics isn’t it.

Ludovic Pommeret (@Hoka) wins the 2024 Hardrock 100 in 21:33:08, an overall course record. “It was my dream. I dream all the day. The nightmare never came.”

Kilian Jornet set the previous overall course record of 21:36:24 in this clockwise direction in 2022.

Here’s our pre-race interview with Ludo: https://t.co/Y4HxxIjbTk #HR100

Well said @runcamille … women are truly kicking it!: you, Courtney Dauwalter (first in Moab 240 miler, 10 hours ahead of all other competitors), Jasmin Paris, Greta Steyn, Katie Schide, Ragna Debats, Blandine L'Hirondel
.. and many more world-beating performances

[Camille Herron 🦸‍♀️ @runcamille]

Women in Ultrarunning and Trailrunning are creating headlines- sometimes beating men outright. We have compelling stories, have to achieve more, and some are Moms. You better believe it the women are worthy of being paid equal, if not more, than the men 🦸‍♀️! @ilikeponds42069

Congratulations Sir Cav… amazing!!!! & so well deserved

[Piers Woolston @p_woolston]

@ealingeagles .. great to see Melissah Gibson @melissah_gibson placed as 14th Woman at Comrades today. A local runner well-known by many Eagles, Jacqueline Millet @jacquieMillett, also had a spectacular race and came in 2nd place in the WV70 category. Bravo both!!

[Ellie Greenwood @eLLiejG]

Two British 🇬🇧 men in top ten at @ComradesRace, and Melissa’s Gibson top British 🇬🇧woman in strong 14th.

@historyrock_ No idea why Pete Townsend is on
there…. For one, I’d remove his name to make way for guitarists who are far more deserving of a listing

[Piers Woolston @p_woolston]

It appears that common sense and the RFU are two alien and opposing concepts… hopefully Rugby fans and players can help forge a sensible path forward for the sake of the game

[Ealing Trailfinders @ealingtfrugby]

Age-graded performance measure… enables effective comparison to runners from a similar age group. Excellent …

[John Paton @johngetstrong]

What does it take to be a 90th percentile 5k runner?

Chart shows 90th percentile 5k finish times for 15 to 60 year olds based on data from over 1 million finishers at 1283 5k races across the United States.

At 25, 19:56 min as a male, 25:12 min as a female
At 30, 20:50 M, 25:29 F
At 40, 21:17, 26:07
At 50, 22:16, 28:36
At 60, 25:50, 39:20

This is a great standard to achieve!

[Piers Woolston @p_woolston]

Staggering.. well done Josh!

[Team GB @TeamGB]

BRITISH RECORD FOR JOSH KERR!!!

A magical 3:45.34 mile for the world champion...

he holds off Jakob Ingebrigtsen to lower Steve Cram's 39-year-old national record 👏👏👏

[Piers Woolston @p_woolston]

@JoeNaConnacht Look at the stats that matter… that’s why Toulouse won! Turnovers were all in favour of Toulouse… the kicking game was far superior…
