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</li><li>(00:07:26) The money, at $150,000 to a winner and $40,000 for third, which beats winning a Diamond League final.</li><li>(00:15:39) 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.</li><li>(00:34:43) Masai Russell caps a season of meeting records at every Diamond League she ran, plus the world record.</li><li>(00:37:43) Ja'Kobe Tharp, this year's world record breaker, beats Cordell Tinch in the 110m hurdles. Do both hurdles records go again next year?</li><li>(00:40:25) Day two brings six finals, starting with the 400s, where Marileidy Paulino and Collen Kebinatshipi look untouchable.</li><li>(00:44:14) The women's 1500m, where tactical intrigue creates an open race</li><li>(00:47:30) 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.</li><li>(00:56:00) The 100m finals, Melissa Jefferson-Wooden against Julien Alfred, and a men's field covered by six hundredths.</li><li>(01:01:49) Prestige, or just the cash? Our verdict after one night</li></ul>","author_name":"Professor Ross Tucker and Mike Finch"}
