Coffee with Larry, September 3, 2024, Karston Warholm VS. Mondo Duplantis, an extraordinary Weltklasse!

This is my daily chat with #RunBlogRun viewers and track fans on all things track & field!

This is for Tuesday, September 3, 2024.

Brits in Brussels

5th DL trophy for Kipyegon in 3:54.75 MR, Chebet 14:09.82 MR, Fabbri 22.98 MR/NR

Denny 69.96 MR/AR, Duplantis 611 MR, 4th DL title for Allman and Duplantis, 8 first time champions ( September 13, 2024)

Coffee with Larry is sponsored by OMIUS, the maker of cooling technology used in hats, visors, and headbands. Using OMIUS cooling pods by inserting them in the hat, visors, or
headbands, and adding water to the pods every 30-45 minutes keeps the cooling effect (think how sweat works).

Sifan Hassan used the headband in the Paris Olympic marathon, where she won. Bashir Abdi used the headband in the Men’s Marathon, where he took silver.
