🗣️ “I am an equal opportunity doping hater, meaning that if you are actively doping in the sport, I do take issue with that… No names were mentioned, but if you look at yourself and think that’s what you’re doing, then so be it.” At #WorldUltimates today in Budapest, Olympic 200m champion Gabby Thomas expanded on comments she made last summer via Instagram stories about coaches with doping histories and athletes who choose to work with them. Thomas finished runner-up in the 200m, crossing the line in 21.77. 🎥 FULL INTERVIEW:

🗣️ "Very disappointed in the race and result racing a bunch of cowards." 💎 When no one went with the pacemaker in the Diamond League final, Jakob Ingebrigtsen took it upon himself to keep it honest and press from the front.

🗣️ “If we achieve what we want to achieve… I’m gonna move to the 200m. Then after achieving what I want from the 200m, I can skip again and go to the 800m.” Winning a World title, a World Ultimate title, and breaking 44 seconds six times in the same season is a little too boring for Collen Kebinatshipi. If the 22 year old can knock out the rest of his 400m goals in the next few years, he’ll turn his eyes towards dominating a couple of different events 👀 🎥 FULL INTERVIEW:

🗣️ “When she runs 7, 8 — sometimes, very rarely, 10 — kilometers, it’s around 5:30 or even 5:45 per kilometer. For us, it was really important to follow the physiological component....Because it was really important that this aerobic part would not lead to overtraining and then get in the way of other qualities.” In a new episode of The CITIUS MAG Podcast, coach Laurent Meuwly dives into why Femke Broeders-Bol's training is different from what others may expect. He firmly believes that Femke’s biggest strength — and what separates her from every other 800m runner right now — is her incredible speed. But aerobically, she still has plenty of room to improve. The long-term goal is to gradually build her aerobic base and raise her ceiling without sacrificing the speed that makes her so dangerous over 800m.

🗣️ “I should stick with them and be with them at 700m, and then see if I can change gears. If I made a mistake, that’s it.” Even though equaling the Dutch record of 1:55:54 and coming away with an 800m European bronze is an impressive feat, Femke Broeders-Bol is still learning the ropes of this whole “two lap” thing. The reigning World champion over 400mH held her own in her first championship final at 800m, battling down the home straight with Audrey Werro and Keely Hodgkinson in Birmingham. 🎥 FULL INTERVIEW:

No more flat 400m for Rai Benjamin ❌ 🗣️ “I’m done. This year was just for fun, and I proved that I can run with the best. I pretty much beat every seasoned 400m runner in pretty much every race this year.” Rai Benjamin’s exploratory season in the flat event went about as good as he could’ve hoped. The Olympic and World champion over 400mH ran a PB of 43.83, won the London Diamond League, and only lost once to anyone other than Collen Kebinatshipi. Next season, the race for sub-46 is on. 🎥 FULL INTERVIEW:

🗣️ “Before 41K, I’m enjoying it, relaxed and my body is all great. Exactly at 41K, my body is stuck. I finished my power. I tried to push but my legs were stopped.” We all hit the wall in our first marathon. Yomif Kejelcha didn’t hit it until 41K and STILL managed to break two hours in his FIRST marathon. 1:59:41 at the London Marathon! 🎥 Full interview with Kejelcha on the CITIUS MAG YouTube channel:

🗣️ “When we go fast, I finish the same strength as when we go slow… I think tactical [racing] is still something I need to learn.” Femke Broeders-Bol provided one of the most intriguing storylines of the season as the 400mH World champion shifted focus to the 800m, and she closed out her debut season at the distance with a third-place finish at #WorldUltimates. For all the success 2026 brought, Broeders-Bol knows there’s still lots of gains to be made in the finer details of mid-distance running. 🎥 FULL INTERVIEW:

🎥 “My arms are a big improvement point for the 800m for next year… I’ve actually already worked on having smaller steps, I have a higher frequency than I had in 400m.” The learning curve nobody talks about when switching from 400mH to 800m: running form 😂 Femke Broeders-Bol and her easy-looking arm swing will take on the #LausanneDL tomorrow fresh off a European bronze, challenging Euro champ Audrey Werro on her home turf. 🎥 FULL INTERVIEW:

🗣️ “It’s been a rough couple of weeks. I knew him from when I was 19 and now I’m 32, so for that part of my life to feel like it’s gone is really rough… He’s somebody who will forever be in my heart.” 200m World champion Shericka Jackson will toe the line in tomorrow’s #LausanneDL, her first race since the passing of her coach, Stephen Francis, last month. Jackson reflects on the legacy of one of the greatest sprint coaches the sport has ever seen, having coached all-time greats like Jackson, Asafa Powell, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Elaine Thompson-Herah in his 27 years at the helm of MVP Track Club. 🎥 FULL INTERVIEW:

🗣️ “It feels strange for me to race 1500m runners, that’s way too far!” Femke Broeders-Bol is the prototypical 400m/800m runner, but tomorrow in Zurich she’ll get her first look at the world’s best 800m/1500m runner: Commonwealth 800m and European 1500m champion Georgia Hunter Bell. 🎥 FULL INTERVIEW:

🗣️ “I’m like 99% happy, 1% frustrated when you get that close.” Femke Broeders-Bol can still see the silver lining of running her second sub-1:55 with a 1:54.81 800m at the #BrusselsDL Final, but the tighter battle with Audrey Werro makes another second-place finish all the more agonizing 😫 🎥 FULL INTERVIEW:

🗣️ “In 2022, when she ran fast, everyone had an opinion…now that the times have filled in these last few years since Eugene, suddenly that world record is legit.” After Masai Russell’s blazing start to 2026, Kyle Merber⏱️ makes the case that it’s time to make amends with Tobi Amusan, whose 100m hurdles world record at the 2022 World Championships got buried under doubt and controversy instead of being celebrated. 🎧 Full discussion on the CITIUS MAG Podcast’s latest “This Week In Track and Field” episode.

🗣️ “I don’t necessarily like the 5K that much… I find 5K-specific training to be very terrible, in terms of feeling. It’s such hard work, but not the hard work that I enjoy.” Jakob Ingebrigtsen added to his legacy as one of the greatest championship 5000m racers ever with a 12:59.24 win tonight at #WorldUltimates. Despite an Olympic gold and two World titles at the distance, the Norwegian star says a disdain for 5K training has held him back from attacking a faster time, as this was only the second sub-13 race of his career. 🎥 FULL INTERVIEW:
