Sad and shocking news out of Kenya. Marathon world record holder Kelvin Kiptum has died at 24 years old after a car accident along the Eldoret-Kaptagat road, according to a report from The Standard newspaper. Multiple journalists in Kenya have also reported the news. “This was a self-involved accident where one Kelvin Kiptum, the world marathon record holder, was driving his vehicle with two passengers. Kiptum and Hakizimana died on the spot and the third person was rushed to Racecourse Hospital in Eldoret,” Elgeyo Marakwet Police Commander Peter Mulinge told The Nation. The outlet reports his coach Garvais Hakizimana also died in the accident. Last year, Kiptum broke the marathon world record, running 2:00:35 in Chicago, and was preparing to run the Rotterdam Marathon in April in an attempt to break the two-hour barrier. He was also expected to be named to Kenya’s team for the Paris Olympics.

🤯🤯🤯🤯 A truly mind-blowing performance by Ethiopia’s Tigist Assefa to DESTROY the women’s marathon world record by more than two minutes with her 2:11:53 victory at the Berlin Marathon. KEY STATS • Assefa has now made major jumps in all three of her career marathons: 2:34:01 ➡️2:15:37 ➡️ 2:11:53 • Her first half split was 66:20. Her second half split was 65:34. • Of her 5K splits, her opening 5K was the slowest of her whole race. • She won the race by nearly six minutes. Kenya’s Sheila Chepkirui was second in 2:17:49 Just take a moment to process all those splits… 😮‍💨

Someone’s going to have a GREAT weekend story for school on Monday 😅 16-year-old Cooper Lutkenhaus improves his personal best, already the HS record, by an enormous 3+ seconds to take second in the #USATFOutdoors final in 1:42.27. He sets a new U18 world record and becomes the youngest athlete ever to represent Team USA at a World Championship. Lutkenhaus moved from seventh to second in the last 200m, splitting a ridiculous 12.48 last 100m down the homestretch.

THE OLYMPICS WE ALL WANTED 🥉🥉 After years of near misses in stacked races, @Phresh_Fish will head back to the United States with his first two Olympic medals after finishing third in the 5000m one week after his bronze medal performance in the 10,000m. After leaving his longtime team, moving states, and returning to his high school coach, Fisher’s big bet on himself has officially paid off.

Sydney McLaughlin Levrone is the greatest. of. all. time. For the FIFTH time in her career, @GoSydGo resets the world record in the 400m hurdles, lowering her 50.68 from 2022 to 50.65 at the U.S. Olympic Trials. Her margin of victory was 1.99 seconds. Her time is faster than anyone else in the world this year by 1.83 seconds. Oh, yeah, she’s also still only 24 years old.

🗣️“It’s my second post-collegiate race, and my first Olympic Trials. I’m super proud of myself and I know I gave it my all. My legs are dead.” Parker Valby might’ve finished fourth place in the 5,000m today, but her Olympic dreams are far from over. Her new PB of 14:51.44 surpassed the Olympic standard and she currently sits behind three athletes who are double-entered in other events...👀 Valby will also be racing for a shot on the U.S. team in the 10,000m on Saturday 🔜 Full interview ⤵️ piped.video/watch?v=_Pz_xhZO…

HISTORY. MADE. @gosydgo resets the world record in the 400m hurdles YET AGAIN with a 50.65 victory at the U.S. Olympic Trials. No other woman in history has run under 51 seconds. McLaughlin-Levrone has now done it twice. She dragged the field to historically fast times, with four women under 53 and huge PBs for Anna Cockrell in second (52.64) and Jasmine Jones in third (52.77).
