Olivia Fotopoulou had a day to remember today. In the span of 2 hours at the Indoor Athletics Day in Greece, she set 3 new personal bests and broke Cypriot national records. Fotopoulou broke the 9-year-old 60 meter indoor national record in the semifinals, then improved on her new record again in the finals. She followed that up by shaving 2/100ths of a second off the 200 meter record that she set last year.
A week after finishing second in a photo finish to Noah Williams, Jereem Richards flipped the script against his Adidas teammate today at the Millrose Games, winning the Men’s 400 Meter in a season-best 45.84 seconds.
