Fraser‑Pryce reveals reason behind Paris 2024 Olympics withdrawal

Jamaica — Iconic Jamaican sprinter Shelly‑Ann Fraser‑Pryce, competing in what was meant to be her final Olympic Games, stunned fans when she withdrew from the women’s 100m semifinal at the Paris 2024 Olympics, reportedly due to an injury sustained during warm-ups. The abrupt end brought an emotional close to her individual Olympic campaign — or so the world thought.

 

However, in a recent interview with Marie Claire, the eight-time Olympian revealed that the official story didn’t tell the full truth as conditions leading up to that moment ultimately derailed her Olympic swansong.

“Last year was very hard for me mentally and physically,” she said. “I’ve always done it for the flag and showed up to do it for my country. But what happened in Paris, that was a ‘me’ decision.”

 

After running a solid 10.92 seconds in the heats and advancing to the semifinals, Fraser‑Pryce was soaking in what was expected to be her final individual Olympic appearance. But that moment was quickly undone by confusion at the gate at Stade Annexe.

“They tell me that the gate is closed, and I’m like, well, the track is like right there and I used the gate yesterday. They tell me that they made the decision to not use the gate that morning.”

 

Fraser‑Pryce was left standing outside the track for at least 30 minutes while officials made calls presumably to verify her access. She had hoped the issue would be cleared up quickly, given she had passed through the same gate the day before.

 

‘Strident appeal’

“It wasn’t like there were a hundred people trying to go through the gate,” she said. “Walking to another entrance meant going by pedestrians and other attendees walking.”

 

The delay significantly cut into her critical three-hour warm-up window as she had to use another gate. She had lost an hour. Her body was tight, her focus shattered. During her final warm-up reps, she knew something was off, her muscles were cramping, and mentally, she was spiralling.

 

“I was probably having a panic attack,” she admitted. “I felt I could see it in front of me—and it was ripped [out of my hands]. I’m a warrior; I’m a fighter. I love rising to the occasion. I wanted to do it for my country, but I had to ask, ‘what’s right for me?”

 

Ultimately, she made the heartbreaking decision to withdraw and was officially marked as “DNS” (did not start) just moments before the race.

 

The withdrawal shocked Jamaica and track fans around the world.

 

Now, a year later, the five-time 100m world champion is ready to reset. She’s preparing to compete at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo this September, determined to close her legendary career on her own terms.

 

 

In Kujur’s young career, the Monaco DL will easily be the biggest stage he has been a part of, and the chance to rub shoulders against who many consider to be a future great, gives the Indian an opportunity to truly push himself.

India’s fastest sprinter Animesh Kujur will be a part of the Monaco Diamond League 200m U23 lineup and will possibly go up against 17-year-old Australian sprinter Gout Gout, who has been touted as the next big thing in the world of athletics. Officials released the start list for the meet, which will take place on Friday, July 11.

In Kujur’s young career, the Monaco DL will easily be the biggest stage he has been a part of, and the chance to rub shoulders against who many consider to be a future great, gives the Indian an opportunity to truly push himself.

 

In India, Kujur rarely faces resistance at the 200m sprint. His coach Martin Owens had earlier told this paper that Kujur’s times would get better when he faced a better line of sprinters.

“If you can easily beat the people you’re running with, you never push yourself hard,” Owens said. “He’s going to get faster because he’ll race faster people.”

 

The 22-year-old broke the 100m national record a few days back, becoming the first Indian to take the dip below 10.20 seconds. His time of 10.18s came at the Dromia International Sprint and Relays Meeting in Greece and the dip in time was credited by Owens to a stint at the Swiss Olympics Centre where Kujur worked on his strides at the start of his race.

The sprinter from Chhatisgarh, who stands over six foot tall, usually has a slow start but a killer kick when he’s a part of the 200m event. But that slow start is also being worked on, with a retooling of the technique of Kujur’s first two strides.

 

“The initial strides set him up for a better race. The first couple of strides aren’t always as fast as they can be but they are better mechanically for setting him up for the race. So, we have worked on those first two strides,” Owens said to this newspaper.

 

Those improvements and a significant step up in competition comes for Kujur in Monaco, where he goes up against a sprinter who has made the world look up.

Still not out of his teenage years, Gout Gout already holds the 200m Australian National record. He has already dipped under the U16 time of Usain Bolt – feats that made the Jamaican himself remark that the sprinter of South Sudanese heritage “looks like a young me”.

 

Training camps with Olympics and World champion Noah Lyles, major sponsors clamouring over him and advice from Michael Johnson and Paris Olympics 200m gold medallist Letsile Tebogo have followed the sprinter as he prepares for the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo. Both Johnson and Tebogo have said that the Australian needs to stay at the juniors level and continue his development instead of focusing on the noise and hype that has become happenstance.

 

The comparisons to Bolt though, have continued, even though Gout has said that he wants to be known for his name.

“I do see it (comparison with Bolt). My stride length is pretty long, my knee height is pretty high and just the amount of tallness I get when I’m running. I’m just me trying to be me. Obviously, I do run like him (Bolt). I do sometimes look like him, but obviously I’m making a name for myself, and I think I’ve done that pretty well. I just want to continue doing that and continue to be not only Usain Bolt but continue to be Gout Gout,” he had told the Sydney Morning Herald.

 

On Friday, the athletics world will mark the Monaco DL as a race to watch and for how Gout Gout performs on European shores. But for Animesh Kujur, the U23 200m is a chance to once again rewrite his national record, while chasing the Australian, who is himself setting up for a different stratosphere of greatness.

 

 

 

Letsile Tebogo defends crowing himself

Letsile Tebogo revealed the deeper meaning behind his self-crowning gesture after a powerful comeback from injury.

Letsile Tebogo has shared the major reason behind crowning himself after crossing the finish line first in the men’s 200m at the Prefontaine Classic on Saturday night.

 

Competing at the Hayward Field, Letsile Tebogo put up a good fight, coming back from an injury setback and claimed a dominant win in a world-leading time of 19.76 seconds.

 

American Courtney Lindsey, competing on home soil, came in second in 19.87 seconds as Alexander Ogando of the Dominican Republic rounded up the podium in 19.94.

Letsile Tebogo Explains Why He Crowned Himself

After crossing the finish line, the reigning Olympic 200m champion put a fictitious crown on his head, a move that has gotten people talking.

 

Letsile Tebogo has come out to explain that he was not doing it to mock anyone, insisting that he was doing it for himself.

 

The world 100m silver medallist pointed out that following his injury at the Diamond League Meeting in Rabat, critics claimed that he had started fading off.

However, bouncing back and finally claiming the victory in a world-leading time was enough sign that he is on the right track, and he had to give himself flowers.

 

“I had to crown myself because they had written me off, there were rumours that I was not coming back, and I had to give it to myself, how I managed to pull through and come back from that injury and step up and run 19.7 seconds,” Letsile Tebogo told FloTrack.

Letsile Tebogo added that he wants to compete in a series of races ahead of the World Championships to gauge his form, insisting that his performance at the Prefontaine Classic was just the beginning.

 

Tebogo further revealed that he is still in great shape and there is more to show his fans ahead of D-Day at the World Championships in Tokyo, Japan.

 

“I mean, 19.7 is just the tip of the iceberg for me, it’s something that just happens naturally. I don’t need to push hard, I just need to get things rolling and get into the race and do my best,” Letsile Tebogo added.

“I feel like I need to run another one and see how I will perform ahead of the World Championships. There’s still plenty in the tank, and I need to give back to the people, and this was just to show that I’m back.”

 

Letsile Tebogo’s symbolic crowning was not about showboating but a personal statement of resilience, marking his return from injury.

Olympic 100m champion Noah Lyles will make his long-awaited 2025 season’s debut at the Monaco Diamond League on Friday, July 11.

 

The American speedster who last raced in the 400m and 4x100m on April 19th and was scheduled to compete in the 100m at the Adidas Atlanta City Games in May before withdrawing due to a sustained injury, will finally hope to get his season rolling in the French city.

This time, Lyles will race in his trademark event – the 200m against notable rival Letsile Tebogo, who defeated him for the Olympic gold medal in Paris last summer.

 

The track stars haven’t raced each other since the Olympic final, which makes it a thrilling race to anticipate for track enthusiasts.

Tebogo currently stands as the favourite for another famous win, not just because he’s the Olympic champion, but he ran a world-leading time of 19.76s in his last race at the Eugene Diamond League to lay claims back to recognition as the man to beat ahead of the World Championships in Tokyo by September.

Meanwhile, Lyles will be gunning to have a good outing, considering he’s just returning from an injury and may still be rusty, but clocking a respectable fast time and position finish will surely build his confidence in his subsequent races, with full focus on defending his world titles in Tokyo.

 

The stage was set for one of the most anticipated showdowns of the 2025 athletics season at the Monaco Diamond League Meeting.

In the glamorous setting of Stade Louis II, two sprinting titans — Noah Lyles of the United States and Letsile Tebogo of Botswana — went head-to-head in the men’s 200-meter dash. Fans expected fireworks, and the race delivered just that, producing a thrilling spectacle that reaffirmed both athletes’ status among the sport’s elite.

 

Noah Lyles, the reigning world champion and Olympic gold medalist, came into the race with an aura of confidence. Known for his blistering curve running and strong finishes, Lyles has dominated the 200m event for years.

But Letsile Tebogo, the rising star from Botswana, has rapidly emerged as a formidable rival. At just 22 years old, Tebogo has already posted world-leading times and shown he has both the top-end speed and composure to challenge the best.

 

From the moment the gun went off, the race unfolded with intensity. Lyles blasted out of the blocks with his signature explosive start, carving through the bend with precision and power.

Tebogo, running in lane six, stayed right on his heels, looking smooth and relaxed. As they entered the home straight, the atmosphere in the stadium crackled with anticipation. Spectators rose to their feet as the two sprinters locked into a fierce stride-for-stride duel.

 

In the final 50 meters, Lyles dug deep, drawing on his championship experience and impeccable technique. Tebogo, however, responded with an extra gear, matching the American’s surge and pushing him all the way to the line. In a photo-finish that had the crowd holding its breath, Lyles edged ahead by a mere hundredth of a second, clocking 19.67 seconds to Tebogo’s 19.68 — the fastest time of the season for both men.

 

The race marked more than just a battle between two great athletes; it signified the changing dynamics of sprinting’s new era. While Lyles reaffirmed his dominance, Tebogo’s performance sent a clear message — he is not just the future; he is the present. The young Botswanan has shown he can go toe-to-toe with the very best and is poised to be a consistent threat in the lead-up to the World Championships.

 

After the race, Lyles praised Tebogo’s competitiveness, saying, “That was a hell of a race. He pushed me all the way. This is what the sport needs — true battles.” Tebogo, ever gracious, responded, “It’s an honor to race Noah. I learn every time I step on the track with him. But I’m coming.”

 

The 200-meter dash in Monaco may go down as one of the highlights of the Diamond League season — not just because of the fast times, but for the drama, mutual respect, and sheer quality on display. As both athletes prepare for future clashes, fans can only hope for more of the same: sprinting at its absolute best. The rivalry between Lyles and Tebogo is no longer just exciting — it’s essen

tial viewing.

 

 

 

Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone delivered a commanding performance in the women’s 400 meters at the Wanda Diamond League meet in Eugene, Oregon, clocking a stunning 49.43 seconds to clinch victory. The reigning Olympic 400m hurdles champion, who has continued to blur the lines between sprint and hurdle dominance, once again showed her class with a fluid and dominant run against a high-quality field.

 

Running from lane five, McLaughlin-Levrone got off to a powerful start, taking an early lead through the backstretch. Her rhythm and stride length were unmatched, and as she rounded the final bend into the home straight, it was clear the rest of the field had no answer. She powered through the finish line with a strong lean, stopping the clock at 49.43—her fastest flat 400m time of the 2025 season so far.

 

This performance reinforced McLaughlin-Levrone’s growing reputation as one of the most versatile and talented athletes in the sport. Known globally for her dominance in the 400m hurdles, she has steadily transitioned into flat 400m racing over the past two seasons, making a compelling case for her potential double threat at future global championships.

 

Her time in Eugene was particularly impressive considering the caliber of competitors she defeated. The field included several seasoned sprinters with sub-50 second credentials, but none could match McLaughlin-Levrone’s poise and closing speed. Her composure, strength through the final 100 meters, and flawless form stood out under the warm Eugene sun.

 

After the race, McLaughlin-Levrone spoke with humility but confidence. “I’ve been working hard with my team to get sharper and stronger,” she said. “Every race is a chance to learn and improve. I’m thankful to be healthy and competing at this level.” She also hinted at a potential 400m/400m hurdles double in upcoming championships, saying, “We’re looking at options. The goal is always to push boundaries.”

 

Her coach, Bobby Kersee, praised the performance, highlighting how it fit into a broader season plan. “She’s on track,” he said. “That was a clean, technically strong run. We’re building towards something special.”

 

This run also sent a strong message to her competitors with the Paris 2024 Olympic Games just months away. With her history of championship success and an upward trajectory in her flat 400m form, McLaughlin-Levrone is emerging as a gold medal contender in both events.

 

The Eugene crowd, packed with knowledgeable and enthusiastic track fans, responded with loud cheers as she crossed the finish line. The Hayward Field atmosphere, often described as electric during major meets, only heightened the magnitude of her performance.

 

In an era of emerging sprint talent, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone continues to raise the bar. Her 49.43 victory in Eugene isn’t just a seasonal best—it’s a statement. Whether in hurdles or the flat quarter-mile, she is redefining excellence and proving that her dominance

knows no bounds.

 

 

That performance confirmed his arrival at the world-class level, but this follow-up in France affirmed his growing consistency and readiness for the global stage.

 

The time places Ajayi among the world’s fastest men this year and ties him with Seun Ogunkoya and Udodi Onwuzurike for fourth place on Nigeria’s all-time list, behind only Soji Fasuba (9.85s), Divine Oduduru (9.86s), and Godson Oghenebrume (9.90s).

 

The Auburn University star now holds two of the five fastest legal times in Nigerian sprint history, both at age 20, and has joined Davidson Ezinwa and Ogunkoya with four career sub-10s, the second most by any Nigerian.

 

Ajayi, who won the Nigerian national 100m title in June 2024, also reached the semi-finals of the men’s 100m at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, where he doubled in the 4x100m relay and earned valuable relay experience.

 

At the African Championships held earlier in June in Douala, Cameroon, he narrowly missed the podium in the individual event, placing fourth, but returned to anchor Nigeria to silver in the 4x100m relay.

 

His indoor campaign earlier in this season was equally impressive. In March 2025, he clocked a personal best of 6.48s over 60m at the NCAA Indoor Championships, following that with a second-place finish in Virginia Beach where he ran 6.52s in a highly competitive final.

Letsile Tebogo once again showcased his blazing speed and undeniable talent as he stormed to a world-leading time in the men’s 200 meters at the Wanda Diamond League meet in Eugene, Oregon. The young Botswana sprinter crossed the finish line in a stunning 19.65 seconds, sending a clear message to his rivals ahead of the Paris Olympics.

 

The race was billed as a clash of the world’s fastest, but Tebogo quickly separated himself from the pack with a blistering curve. From the moment the gun went off, he exploded out of the blocks and transitioned smoothly into the bend. By the halfway mark, it was already evident that he was in a league of his own. With powerful strides and a fluid sprinting form, Tebogo charged down the home straight with unwavering control, stopping the clock at a time that now stands as the fastest in the world for 2025.

 

This performance not only earned him the win but also reaffirmed his position as one of the leading contenders for Olympic gold in the 200m. In doing so, Tebogo improved on his previous personal best and national record, continuing his remarkable rise in the sprinting world. The 21-year-old has quickly evolved from a promising junior athlete to a global superstar, and his Eugene victory was another significant milestone on that journey.

 

The field included notable names such as American sprinter Kenny Bednarek and Canada’s Olympic champion Andre De Grasse, but neither could keep up with Tebogo’s electric pace. Bednarek finished second in 19.89, while De Grasse settled for third in 20.02. Despite the quality of the competition, Tebogo made the race look effortless.

 

What makes Tebogo’s performance even more impressive is the consistency he has shown over both the 100m and 200m events. He’s one of the few athletes currently capable of running sub-10 seconds in the 100m and sub-20 in the 200m, a rare double that only elite sprinters can manage. His strength, speed endurance, and mental composure set him apart as the next generational talent in track and field.

 

After the race, Tebogo expressed gratitude to his coaching team and fans, stating, “I’ve been working really hard for this moment. Eugene always brings out something special in me. I’m glad to come away with a world lead. Now, the focus is on Paris.”

 

The Eugene Diamond League meet has often served as a stage for athletes to test themselves before major championships, and Tebogo passed that test with flying colors. His dominance in Eugene adds fuel to the growing anticipation of what he can accomplish on the biggest stage of all — the Olympic Games.

 

As the world turns its eyes toward Paris, Letsile Tebogo’s name is rising swiftly on the list of Olympic favorites. His combination of youth, confidence, and raw ability suggests that we may be witnessing the beginning of a new sprinting dynasty. If Eugene was any indication, Tebogo is not just chasing greatness — he’s sprinting toward it

at full speed.

 

Eat a hot dog, run 100m. Could Joey Chestnut eat fast enough to take down Bolt?

Usain Bolt and joey chestnut

 

On Saturday, the PGA tour sparked an oddly serious debate with a TikTok: who would win in a race between sprint legend Usain Bolt and the world’s greatest competitive eater, Joey Chestnut–with one big twist?

 

The challenge: Eat (and swallow) a full hot dog and bun before sprinting 100m.

 

At first glance, Bolt seems like the obvious choice. His 100m world record of 9.58 seconds has stood untouched since 2009. Even his slowest recorded race was 10.40 seconds. While he’s been retired since 2017, he’s still just 39, 6’5” and famously athletic.

 

But Chestnut is a very fast eater. Known as “Jaws,” the 41-year-old from Vallejo, Calif., holds 55 world records in various eating dicisiplines and has won Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest 17 times. His best performance is 76 dogs in 10 minutes–an average of 7.9 seconds per hot dog, bun included. For just one dog, he could likely inhale it in three to four seconds flat.

 

Bolt, on the other hand, would probably take at least 10 to 15 seconds to chew and swallow–and that’s if he practises his technique a few times beforehand. But once the dog is scarfed down, his “sluggish” post-retirement 100m time would still likely be quicker than 11 seconds.

 

Chestnut: about 3-4 seconds for the hot dog, plus 17-20 seconds running. Total: 20-24 seconds.

 

Bolt: At least 10-15 seconds for eating, plus 11 seconds running. Total: 21-26 seconds.

 

That gives Chestnut a real shot at winning. Some PGA tour golfers, including Max Homa, Collin Morikawa and Sahith Theegala, are putting their money on Chestnut. But Jordan Spieth and Maverick McNealy believe Bolt can successfully close the gap in the sprint.

 

Fans–also divided on who would take the win–are begging for a showdown in real life. “You don’t understand how much money I would pay to see the answer to this,” one TikTok user commented.

 

 

 

Faith Kipyegon (center) is embraced by fans after setting a new world record in the 1500 meters last Saturday.

Kipyegon shattered her own 1500 meters world record just a week after her Breaking4 Mile attempt heartbreak in Paris.

Faith Kipyegon has explained how the welcoming atmosphere she received from the crowd at the 2025 Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, Oregon last weekend inspired her to smash her own 1500 meter world record a week after her Breaking4 Mile attempt heartbreak in Paris.

 

Kipyegon dominated a stacked field that included reigning 1500 meter Olympic silver medalist Jesicca Hull to lower her own world record to 3.48.68, a clear statement of intent just a week after falling short in the historic mile attempt.

 

Kipyegon fell short of her mile record in Paris by six seconds, so going all in for the world record in her specialist 1500 meters was always a priority to write off her disappointment.

“I want to thank God — this was really special,” Kipyegon said after the race. “As I said after the race in Paris, I knew I was still capable of running under 3:49, and I surprised myself today by doing just that.

 

“To be able to run something so special last week, and then come back and do it again this week, feels incredible. I truly thank God for this moment.”

 

The Kenyan superstar said the support she felt in Eugene played a pivotal role in helping her reclaim her rhythm.

 

“I almost cried. Everyone was waiting for me — I was the last athlete on the track, the final event of the day — and it felt amazing. The crowd stayed just to watch me chase the world record. They were cheering for me, and I felt at home,” she said.

 

“That support gave me so much motivation, especially after what I achieved last week. It reminded me that I can still do more. I’m so happy I was able to prove that anything is possible. It really was such a beautiful moment.”

 

“The last 100 meters were tough,” Kipyegon admitted. “I could feel the intensity, and I had to dig deep and push myself to the finish line. All the other ladies were so strong — I’m happy that when I run fast, they run fast too. I’m truly grateful for the competition.”

After the more controlled environment of her Breaking4 mile attempt — where she ran alongside a group of male pacemakers — returning to the Diamond League offered a refreshing change of pace.

 

“I’m so happy to be back in my rhythm and back on the Diamond League circuit. Last week’s race felt more like a solo effort — one woman on the track with 10 or 11 men.

 

“But today was different,” she said. “It was so special to race alongside amazing competitors like Jessica Hull and Welteji. Being back among strong women made it all the more meaningful.”

Kipyegon closed with a reflection on what continues to drive her — and it’s bigger than medals or records.

 

“What keeps me going is the love of the sport and my desire to inspire the next generation — especially young girls. I want them to know that no matter where you come from, you can still push yourself and achieve your dreams. With discipline and hard work, anything is possible.”

 

With the Tokyo World Championships fast approaching, Kipyegon’s record-breaking run in Eugene not only reaffirmed her dominance over the 1500m but also sent a clear message to her rivals. The performance underlined her form, resilience, and hunger for more, even after years at the top.
