Wow, what a race at the Novuna London Athletics Meet! Charlie Dobson, last year’s Diamond League champ, just stunned Olympic silver medallist Matt Hudson-Smith with a blazing 44.14 PB in the 400m.

Could this be the start of a new rivalry in British sprinting? #Sports #Athletics #DobsonVsHudsonSmith

Anyone else feel like the baseball gods are piling on? Let’s hope he’s back soon, because this lineup needs his bat! #Athletics #NickKurtz #MLB #Sports

Can Gout Gout Dethrone Bolt’s 100m Legacy?

Gout Gout, the Aussie sprint prodigy, is making serious waves after smashing Usain Bolt’s 200m record for 16-year-olds and clocking two sub-10s in the 100m (even if the wind was a bit cheeky). But his coach, Di Sheppard, is keeping it real—no wild teen nights if he wants Olympic gold in Brisbane 2032. Do you think Gout has what it takes to break Bolt’s legendary 100m world record, or will the pressure and sacrifices be too much? #GoutGout #SprintKing #BoltVsGout #Athletics #Olympics2024 #Sports
