The best coverage that I found was updates each hour as to the lead standings, both individual and team. As I said, I love running, and I am a runner. How many non-runners do we think tuned in? How many even cared about the results?The results were remarkable. Insane feats of endurance: the women's world record was broken by Japanese athlete Miho Nakaha with 270.36km. On the men's side, the favourite, from Lithuania,  Aleksandr Sorokin broke 300km for the 3rd time, running 301.79km. These are astonishing performances, but who got to see them? Will this forever be a niche discipline within a minor sport? What will it take to put eyes on the sport?How many non-runners tune into any running event, apart from the Olympics?This is the first time the World Championships 24 hours have been held in 4 years. Covid had something to do with that, but also poor planning and event management. Nobody wants to hold the event. What are your thoughts?0:00 Introduction: Yesterday was the 24 hour World Championships running0:28 What do we need to do as as a sport to get more eyes on running?1:00 Cycling fans and how they are similar1:51 Ironman taking over UTMB has divided the running community3:02 Who watches the entire 10,000m Olympic final?3:52 Aleksandr Sorokin breaks 300km, again!5:10 How have Ironman made their World Championships so interesting?6:32 The sport has got to evolve7:31 What are your thoughts?
