After my race, I thought I was offering a selfie to one of the fans of Kenyan runners; only to realize later that I was just but a very insignificant runner getting a lifetime opportunity to take selfie with one of the senior personalities in the marathon running in the US!

Timothy Cheruiyot, Abel Kipsang and Reynold Cheruiyot are among the Kenyan stars just announced for the men's 1500m race in Doha Wanda Diamond League

The top 14 teams in each event at the World Athletics Relays Bahamas 24 will automatically qualify for places at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The remaining two places in each discipline will be awarded based on top lists during the qualification period.

Congratulations to Bernard Koech and Irene Cheptai for winning the men's and women's marathon titles at the Haspa Hamburg Marathon today.

And Hobbs Kessler is racing Emmanuel Wanyonyi in the road mile. A bit early for US fans but worth checking out the YouTube replay.

Queen Peres Jepchirchir!

Which one should be the 'real' world record for women? The male-paced, wind-assisted, net down hill, or women only race?

An 81-year-old did finish the London Marathon yesterday!
