Our day one recap, and a look ahead to a much bigger day two:
Chapters 0:52 First impressions of the Ultimate Championship. The black infield, the pink sand, a schedule that felt rushed, and camera work that never quite showed us the athleticism. And don't get us started on the predictions 7:26 The money, at $150,000 to a winner and $40,000 for third, which beats winning a Diamond League final. 15:39 Our featured event, the men's 5000m. Jakob Ingebrigtsen breaks 13 minutes off a season wrecked by surgery, and we ask why his rivals let the middle kilometers drift. 34:43 Masai Russell caps a season of meeting records at every Diamond League she ran, plus the world record. 37:43 Ja'Kobe Tharp, this year's world record breaker, beats Cordell Tinch in the 110m hurdles. Do both hurdles records go again next year? 40:25 Day two brings six finals, starting with the 400s, where Marileidy Paulino and Collen Kebinatshipi look untouchable. 44:14 The women's 1500m, where tactical intrigue creates an open race 47:30 The women's 800m, our race of the weekend. Audrey Werro is unbeaten all year, and Femke Bol and Keely Hodgkinson are both coming for her. 56:00 The 100m finals, Melissa Jefferson-Wooden against Julien Alfred, and a men's field covered by six hundredths. 1:01:49 Prestige, or just the cash? Our verdict after one night
