Chris Chavez and Anderson Emerole unpack the first big weekend in track and field as the Diamond League and Continental Tour kicked off.
In this week's round-up of performances, they discuss:
Xiamen Diamond League
– Mondo Duplantis’ 6.24m world record and what it could mean for the rest of the season
– Gudaf Tsegay nearly breaks the 1500m world record with a 3:50.30; Did the women’s 1500m suddenly get more interesting?
– Torrie Lewis beats Sha’Carri Richardson in the 200m; Is there reason to be concerned?
– Marco Arop vs. Emmanuel Wanyonyi needs to be a thing to bring back the men's 800m to prominence
– Is the U.S. having a moment in the men’s high jump? Shelby McEwen wins in Xiamen, JuVaughn Harrison jumps a world lead at LSU
– Paulino wins 400m and says this may be the year to break the 400m World record
– Christian Coleman wins the 100m in only 10.13s ahead of Fred Kerley; another slow year for the 100m?
Results from around the world
– Courtney Lindsey beat Letsile Tebogo in a 200m at the Kip Keino Classic
