Breaking Down the Prefontaine Classic Women's 100m Dash
The Prefontaine Classic is always one of the highlights on the Diamond League calendar as it brings together some of the top stars in the sport. 2024 was no different, as the Women's 100m Dash saw a head-to-head clash between World Champion Sha'Carri Richardson and Olympic Champion Elaine Thompson-Herah in arguably the most competitive 100m race of the 2024 Olympic season so far.
Though Sha'Carri took the win in 10.83 seconds, while Elaine finished last place in 11.30, the performances go a bit deeper than just their times on the clock.
Today I breakdown the full 100m field from Sha'Carri and Elaine to Julien Alfred and Melissa Jefferson, including the implications as we get closer to the US Olympic Trials next month and the Paris Olympics later this summer.

Can Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone Be Challenged in the 400M Hurdles This Year?
Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone announced that she will be focusing on the 400m Hurdles ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics this summer. Just a day later, she went on to run 22.07 seconds in the 200m dash, a new personal best and a display of her speed and raw talent. Considering she is the defending Olympic Champion and holds the World Record, can anyone truly challenge her in the event or will this once again be the year of Sydney in the hurdles?

What's The Current Status of Jamaica's Top Sprinters in the 100m and 200m Dash?
Jamaican Women have dominated the sprints at the Olympic Games over the past 16 years. Since Beijing 2008, they have won 10 out of 12 possible medals in the 100m dash, including all 4 gold medals.
But the "Big 3" names of Jamaican Women's sprinting, Shericka Jackson, Elaine Thompson-Herah and Shell-Ann Fraser-Pryce, have all had slightly slower starts to their seasons than in previous years. Bringing about concerns around their potential to return to the podium once again.

Fred Kerley said his next 100m race will be a World Record. Is he Crazy or is he right?
On May 14th, Fred Kerley recently took to Twitter and said "World record next time I touch the 100m".
That set the Track & Field World on fire with criticism from all angles considering the current record of 9.58 seconds, set by Usain Bolt back in 2009, seems almost unattainable by any current 100m sprinter. But though it may seem crazy on the surface, there is a level of understanding we should have for athletes setting ambitious goals.

Should the USA Require Athletes to Run at Spring Relay Meets for Olympic Relay Pool Selection?
Should the USA Require Athletes to Run at Spring Relay Meets to Be Selected for the Olympic Relay Pool?
At the 2024 World Athletics Relays, a USA Men's 4x100m Team of Courtney Lindsey, Kenny Bednarek, Kyree King and Noah Lyles won Gold in a time of 37.40 seconds, which is one of the fastest times in history.
The USA Men have not won a medal in the 4x100m Relay at the Olympics since 2004 and one of the main complaints is the lack of practice throughout the year. Considering this team not only won Gold at World Relays, but has also gotten consistent practice together early in the year, should they remain together as the team through the 2024 Olympics in Paris this summer?

Michael Norman Returns in 2024 as an Olympic Gold Medal Threat in the 400m Dash
Michael Norman opened up is 2024 Season with a 400m in 44.21 seconds. That's his first race since July 2023, his first 400m since August 2022 and the 9th fastest time of his career.
Over the past few years, Norman has dealt with setbacks and injuries that prevented him from consistently performing to the best of his ability. After winning 400m Gold at the 2022 World Championships, Norman switched to the 100m dash, failed to make the 2023 USA team and switched coaches twice.
But now with his 2024 seasons opener, he looks to be healthy and ready to return to the top of the podium this year. Is Norman now a threat for gold at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris?
