Our day two recap, and a preview of the final night of the Ultimate Championships:
Chapters 1:02 Night two was a clear step up on day one, with six finals and qualifying races that actually mattered and produced intrigue. 1:34 Marileidy Paulinho wins the 400m in 49.07 to end an unbeaten season, and we wonder why Lieke Klaver keeps going out so hard. 6:53 Collen Kebinatshipi wins the men's 400m in 43.39s, with a new race plan, which he explains himself. A record number of sub-44s in a season, and a 42 second man in the making. 15:50 Klaudia Kazimierska outkicks Georgia Hunter Bell in a tactical 1500m, to establish herself as versatile in addition to the world leader. 16:15 World Athletics' AI predictions become a running joke, and we offer to fix them (again!). 27:42 Audrey Werro leads the 800m from the gun and wins as we predicted, albeit more slowly. Hodgkinson and Bol round out the concrete-ists. We discuss Werro's dominant race, the progressive wind-up, and Hodkingson's stuttering season. 34:31 Melissa Jefferson-Wooden's start beats Julien Alfred in the 100m, and Kenny Bednarek surprises Oblique Seville in the men's race. 38:37 We preview the final night, with both 400m hurdles finals, a wide open women's 5000m, Josh Kerr's 1500m to win however he pleases, and both 200m finals. 54:55 And finally, which event pays the most per second of work?
