Summary
Mark English just shattered his own 800m record with a blistering 1:42.78 at the World Athletics Ultimate Championship, finishing sixth in a field stacked with elite talent. Winner Djamel Sedjati cashed in $150K from a $10M prize pool, while English took home $14K for his personal best and historic global final debut. Marco Arop and Emmanuel Wanyonyi claimed second and third, respectively, with Wanyonyi already holding this year’s fastest time. Meanwhile, Rhasidat Adeleke narrowly missed the 200m final in her semi-final heat, placing fifth with a 22.81 — still earning her $8K — as she eyes another shot in London next Friday with even bigger stakes.
