👋 Hey, Speedster!

It’s National Just Because Day— but ironically, nothing about today’s headlines feels casual. The Diamond League has pulled off a massive last-minute change, and World Athletics just matched that energy with a bold move of its own. So it’s time to move past the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift engagement news and gear on for some new updates...

World Athletics Rule Shift Sydney McLaughlin
World Athletics' Revised Rule Puts Pressure on Sydney And Others
A major rule just got scrapped and that means Sydney and Co will have to be prepared for a tougher test.

A decade ago, on this day, Justin Gatlin and Usain Bolt went head-to-head in the 200m Worlds final. Side by side at one point, watch who got ahead of whom below...

Noah Lyles vs Oblique Seville

Did You Know

Fun fact: While Gatlin couldn't beat Bolt in this 200m race, turns out, the only man to take down Usain Bolt was on wheels. Yes, moments after Bolt stormed to his 10th World gold in 19.55s, a cameraman on a two-wheeled scooter clipped him from behind, sending the sprint king tumbling. Bolt flipped over and got up in style, briefly checking his left leg for any injury. He then walked back to ensure the cameraman was fine too...Well, that's Usain Bolt for you. PS: His 2015 performance also made him the most decorated male sprinter at the Worlds!
