2014 went according to formbook. But 2015 is shaping up to be chemically interesting.

- Kenyans no longer dominate the steeplechase. Evan Jager out of nowhere is the best steeplechaser in the world and could even challenge the world record

- Justin Gatlin world leading with 9.74 and 19.57 and may go even lower at age 34. Jamaicans have been left biting dust.

- Isaac Makwala and Wayde van Niekerk leading the 400m and beating Kirani James who has been dominating this event.

- In the 800m Amel Tuka out of nowhere goes from 1:46 in 2014 to a world leading 1:42 a year later and looks like he could run 1:41 easily beating Nijel Amos and Rudisha

- A 16 year old high school girl runs 10.98 in the 100m

- Genzebe Dibaba shaves 4 seconds of the world record

Whatever chemical they are using we shall find out years from now.

Damn! I Really enjoyed that race. His falling behind all athletes then galloping across them to sit on the shoulder of that Algerian* and the final relaxed dash to the finishing line....

Mercy Cherono had my tense butterflykes dancing all over before she closed that 60 meter Huddle gap!

Thrilling

South African Wade van Niekerk made history by becoming the first human being ever to run sub 10, sub 20 and sub 44 for the 100m, 200m and 400m.

Yet people will tell you only West Africans can run? Nowadays Southern Africa is producing more world class sprinters


Its a significant achievement considering that legends like MJ, Wariner, the X man, Butch Reynolds, Quincy Watts and even Usain Bolt never achieved this feat. Remember that Bolt was a 400m runner in his youth days.
