I don’t know if the crack of Wayde Van Niekerk’s anterior cruciate ligament rupturing was heard all the way around the world, but it certainly reverberated from Cape Town at least as far as Queensland’s Gold Coast.
At one stroke, Van Niekerk tore...

Running in the opening Diamond League meeting of Olympic year in Xiamen somebody named Gudaf Tsegay won in 3:50.30, suggesting the reigning 10,000 metres world champion and 5000 world record holder may also be capable of giving dual Olympic champion Faith Kipyegon – and anyone else who emerges in the interim - a run for her money in Paris.

It’s that time of the year when thoughts turn to placing the events and the athletes who competed in them in some sort of logical order. Ranking them, if you will.
Seventy-five years ago US magazine Track & Field News decided it would be a good...
An amazing aggressive piece of front running by Linden Hall at the Lausanne Diamond League. Hall has continued to position herself at the pointy end of global 1500m running, finishing 2nd . Hall showed her confidence and strength,going with the pace maker and gapping the rest of the field by a clear 20 metres. She was only passed on the home straight by Ethiopia's Freweyni Gebreezibeher, who was 4th at the Tokyo Olympics.

The nineteen eighties decade was a rich one for middle distance running. In Britain the likes of Cram, Coe and Ovett dominated, whilst in Africa, Said Aoutia was the man. Down under, there was one man who had a stranglehold over Australian 1500m and mile running for most of the eighties, his name, Michael Hillardt. Mike won eight Australian titles for 1500m and two for the 800m. He also was the victor at the 1985 World Indoor Athletics Championships 1500m which was the highlight of his career. He finished with a personal best of 3:33.39 for the 1500m (2nd on all time Australian list. ED: Michael is now 4th on the all time list. Since 2008 both Ryan Gregson and Jeff Riseley have bettered his mark), 3:51.82 for the mile, 2:17.49 for 1000m and 1:45.74 for the 800m.
