This Week
September 14–20, 2026. With the inaugural World Athletics Ultimate Championships having wrapped in Budapest the previous weekend, the roster’s attention shifted to the roads for the World Athletics Road Running Championships in Copenhagen (Sept 19–20). Standout: Jakob Ingebrigtsen was outkicked in the closing strides of the men’s 5km by Eritrea’s Dawit Seare, taking silver in a Norwegian record 12:59 — the same day Yared Nuguse claimed silver in the road mile (3:52.33) behind Germany’s Robert Farken. Conner Mantz continued his comeback from a sacral stress fracture with a season-best 1:00:08 for 12th in Sunday’s half marathon, the top American finisher. Ireland’s Andrew Coscoran also lined up in the road mile. Most of the sprint, jump and combined-events portion of the roster is now in its off-season following Budapest.
