Is Sha’Carri Richardson the one true global star of Track and Field since Usain Bolt?

NUGUSE SMASHES AMERICAN RECORD FOR THE MILE: 3:43.97

And I do have my beliefs on how a meet should be managed, run and presented. The New Balance Meet, the NB Indoor GP is a case in point. This year, they moved the traditional date by two weeks, gave us the coldest day in two decades and still, the fans came and rocked the Reggie Lewis.

Tonight, seeing Meseret Defar run for the first time, in her indoor home, since the birth of her baby in 2014. Amy Hastings put an AR together, running well over 300 meters, and Dawit Seyaum continues to impress with her 4:01.86, but so did Brenda Martinez, who duked it out with Seyaum and came out with a 4:04!

Oh, and Nick Willis, he is just the best indoor miler in the world. One final thing, watch Jenn Suhr clear 5.07m very soon!

Here is how our man from Central Europa, Alfons Juck wrote up the highlights!
