Track and field has attempted to solve the challenges of racing while social distancing with remote match races, which pits competitors against each other simultaneously in separate locations. While the method is far less entertaining than the real thing, the sport has had fun with the circumstances by racing over unfamiliar distances. The Impossible Games and the OTC/ATC dual have gotten the format off to a good start, but I have some ideas for other virtual races I’d love to watch as we wait for the sport as we know it to return.

I miss track already. 

In a shocking turn of events on Day 6 in Doha, Diamond League champion Michael Norman of the United States failed to make the 400m final at the IAAF World Championships.

The 14th and final Diamond League meeting of the 2019 season went down on Friday in Brussels, Belgium, as 16 more Diamond trophies were awarded in the second of two final events. The results in the Belgian capital affirmed much of what we already knew heading into the final major competition before the World Championships, including more dominance from Noah Lyles, Timothy Cheruiyot and Sifan Hassan.
