The top sprinters are all planning to line up in various different events to secure their spots to the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo. A few athletes will be attempting doubles in the 100 and 200m, while others will focus in on just one event including the 100m, 200m, 400m, and others. Lets breakdown some of the sprinters, why they are choosing the specific events to compete in, and also some athletes who are not showing up to USAs.-------------------------------Host: Anderson Emerole | @emeroleanderson on TwitterSUPPORT THE PODCAST
Bryan Levell from Jamaica ran a new personal best of 9.82 seconds in the 100m. That makes him the 2nd fastest athlete in the world in 2025, and also makes him the 8th fastest Jamaican 100m sprinter in history. Though Bryan did not qualify for the 2025 World Championships in the 100m, he has qualified in the 200m and already has a windy mark of 19.79 to his name this year. What does this performance mean for Bryan's potential in the 200m and also Jamaica's 4x100m relay?-------------------------------Host: Anderson Emerole | @emeroleanderson on TwitterSUPPORT THE PODCAST
2024 Olympic 400mH gold medalist and world record holder Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone has confirmed that she will be running the 400m at the 2025 USA Championships. Because she does not have the wild card to the 2025 world champs, this likely confirms she will contest the event against Olympic & World Champion Marileidy Paulino and 2019 world champion Salwa Eid Naser. But this does make things complicated for the USA 400m team.-------------------------------Host: Anderson Emerole | @emeroleanderson on TwitterSUPPORT THE PODCAST
London DL Full Results: https://london.diamondleague.com/programme-results/The 2025 London Diamond League was one of the most important meets on the calendar for a few athletes for various reasons. Oblique Seville making his Diamond League debut vs Noah Lyles in the 100m, Jamaica's 4x100 looking for a qualifying mark for the world champs, even the Men's Long Jumpers looking to identify who may be the favorite for the world championships. Today I recap the sprints, hurdles and jumps from the London Diamond League and discuss implications as we continue to move through 2025.-------------------------------Host: Anderson Emerole | @emeroleanderson on TwitterSUPPORT THE PODCAST
Oblique Seville has been one of, if not the most consistent 100m sprinter for Jamaica over the past 4-5 years. He has made every global championship, including making the past 3 finals, from 2021-2024. But, despite his consistency, he unfortunately has yet to win an individual medal of any color at either the Olympic Games or World Championships. There are various reasons that have led to him not medaling, but in 2025, he has made a few changes that seem to indicate he is on a path toward getting onto the podium at the 2025 World Champs in Tokyo later this Summer. But just like previous years, the path will not be easy.-------------------------------Host: Anderson Emerole | @emeroleanderson on TwitterSUPPORT THE PODCAST
Marie Claire article: https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/shelly-ann-fraser-pryce-interview-2025/Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is the greatest 100m sprinter of all time, and one of the greatest track and field athletes in history. She recently announced that 2025 would be her final season competing in the sport, and that last year's Paris Olympics was her final Games. At those 2024 Olympics, Shelly competed in the first round of the 100m, but surprisingly did not show up to compete in the semi-finals and ultimately left Paris, ending her 16 year long Olympic career. This was a shock to the track & field world, and for almost a year she never provided a clear explanation as to why she chose not to compete. In July 2025, she sat down with Marie Claire and finally explained what occurred in Paris last year.-------------------------------Host: Anderson Emerole | @emeroleanderson on TwitterSUPPORT THE PODCAST
At the 2025 Monaco Diamond League, Noah Lyles returned from from injury and 3 months away from competing to win the 200m ahead of Olympic Champion and World Leader Letsile Tebogo of Botswana. This race continues a growing rivalry between Noah and Letsile that has grown over the past 3 years and is a stepping stone towards the World Championships in Tokyo later this year. Though Letsile is the reigning Olympic Champion, Noah is the 3x defending world champion. Who is the favorite for the 200m Gold medal and can any one else, such as Kenny Bednarek, spoil the party and finish ahead of either of them?-------------------------------Host: Anderson Emerole | @emeroleanderson on TwitterSUPPORT THE PODCAST

Christian Coleman is the 2019 World Champion and one of the fastest 100m sprinters in history with his personal best of 9.76. But since winning his world title, he has yet to return to the podium at either Worlds or Olympics. In 2025, Coleman hasn't been running as fast as he usually does, but many other Americans have consistently run faster times and also finished ahead of him in various races. With a few weeks ahead of the USA Championships, will Christian Coleman be able to finish top 3 in the 100m and book his ticket to the 2025 World Championships?-------------------------------Host: Anderson Emerole | @emeroleanderson on TwitterSUPPORT THE PODCAST

Breaking the 9.80 second barrier in the 100m Dash has always been seen as one of the most remarkable accomplishments in Track & Field. Over the past 40 years, since Ben Johnson first illegally ran 9.79 at the 1988 Olympics and Maurice Greene officially ran 9.79 in 1999, we have progressively seen more and more athletes run 9.7 seconds for faster. This was most notable during the Usain Bolt Era where a plethora of sprinters broke the barrier on multiple occasions. Since then, there has been a drop off in number sub-9.80 second performances in recent years.Kishane Thompson recently ran 9.75 seconds in Jamaica, the fastest time in 10 years, and an indication that we may see more athletes dip under the barrier once again, similar to like we had seen in years past.-------------------------------Host: Anderson Emerole | @emeroleanderson on TwitterSUPPORT THE PODCAST
