Athletics Trending Now: 2025 World Championships Records Shattered – Top Athletes, Event Schedule & How to Watch Live
• Hot Trendy News
Track-and-field fans won’t have to wait until the Tokyo 2025 World Championships to see fireworks: the global athletics circuit is already heating up with record-chasing performances and blockbuster line-ups.
Diamond League spotlight shifts to Rabat
On Sunday, the Meeting International Mohammed VI d’Athlétisme brings the 2025 Wanda Diamond League to North Africa, and the start lists read like an Olympic final. World 100 m silver medallist Letsile Tebogo, 5000 m world No. 1 Beatrice Chebet and 800 m champion Emmanuel Wanyonyi headline a meet that traditionally produces early-season upsets and world-leading marks. With Rabat’s fast Mondo track, athletes are openly targeting meeting records—and valuable qualification points for the Diamond League Final.
Why this matters for Paris and Tokyo
Even though the Paris 2024 Olympic Games are in the rear-view mirror, many medal winners are still searching for ranking points and appearance bonuses that will affect their seedings for Tokyo 2025. Chebet, who doubled up over 5000 m and 10,000 m last season, has hinted she may chase the 14-minute barrier in Rabat, a feat that would only strengthen her stranglehold on the women’s distance rankings.
Zagreb delivers discus fireworks
Only days ago, Olympic discus champion Kristjan Ceh shattered the Boris Hanzeković Memorial meet record with a 72.14 m bomb, his third-best throw ever, kicking off what could be another year of record assaults in the men’s throws. The Zagreb meet—Croatia’s oldest sporting event—was simultaneously honoured with a World Athletics Heritage Plaque, underscoring the sport’s rich history while serving notice that throwers are ready to light up 2025.
Lyles targets sub-19.60 in London
Next month’s London Athletics Meet will see triple world sprint champion Noah Lyles chase another historically fast 200 m. After a wind-aided 19.47 s season opener, Lyles believes the legal American record of 19.50 s is “living on borrowed time”. His showdown with world bronze medallist Andre De Grasse could be the race that finally propels him past Usain Bolt’s European all-comers mark of 19.32 s set in London 2012.
Hurdles rivalry heads north
Meanwhile, the men’s 400 m hurdles triumvirate—Karsten Warholm, Rai Benjamin and Alison dos Santos—has confirmed back-to-back showdowns in Oslo and Stockholm’s Diamond League stops next month. All three have hinted at attacking Warholm’s 45.94 s world record, and the high-latitudes’ cool evening conditions may deliver the perfect recipe for another sub-46 clocking.
Road and walk records keep falling
Away from the oval, Massimo Stano stunned the race-walking community by obliterating the 35 km world record in Podebrady, clocking 2:20:59 to carve nearly two minutes off the global standard. On the roads, Ethiopian duo Abeje Eisa and Selemon Barega delivered a 10 km/half-marathon double in Manchester, confirming Ethiopia’s depth ahead of October’s World Road Running Championships.
