A lot to unpack for This Week In Track and Field with Chris Chavez and Preet Majithia:In Doha, Neeraj Chopra joined the 90-metre club with a national record of 90.23m, only to be outdone by Germany’s Julian Weber, who launched a world-leading 91.06m to win the javelin. Tshepiso Masalela stormed to a world lead in the men’s 800m (1:43.11), and Jamaica’s Tia Clayton ran 10.92 to win the women’s 100m.Faith Cherotich outkicked world champ Winfred Yavi to claim the steeplechase in a world-leading 9:05.08.  Letsile Tebogo took the men’s 200m in 20.10.At the Atlanta City Games, Nigeria’s Favour Ofili set a new world best in the 150m (15.85), while Akani Simbine continued his unbeaten streak in the men’s 100m with a windy 9.83.At the Tokyo Grand Prix, we had a few sub-par performances by Sha’Carri Richardson and Christian Coleman but it’s still too early to hit the panic button on them.At the Great Manchester Run, Olympic 10,000m champ Selemon Barega won the men’s 10K in 27:49. Medina Eisa crushed the final 5K to win the women’s race in 30:42, but we saw an impressive run by Emily Sisson surging late to claim second.Plus – Farewell to @TrackSpice on Twitter.
