The 12 Best Running Performances of 2024

[@ssarty1]

Jasmin Paris finishing the Barkley is so incredibly awesome!! What an absolute show of character and determination.

[@jeroen1989]

Especially taking the finish in account; first messages of the barkley ending and no news about Jasmin, and then - several minutes later - the news and footage of a sprinting Jasmin finishing with only seconds left in a 60hr race...

Good list! I loved the Bol race moment but putting it at number 2 is significantly overrating it in my opinion.

[@McSqueeb007]

That comeback was the highlight of the Olympics for me. I found it electrifying. It’s tough to rank some of these performances in a way everyone agrees with.

[@LionLeosh]

@ agreed! Rankings carry subjectivity. Bol’s performance was definitely an incredible Olympic moment.

Sifan Hassan winning the Olympic Marathon after having also earned bronze medals in the 5k & 10k at the Olympics is #5??? I'm sorry, but Hassan's marathon performance is a competitor for top 3, at the very least... if not #1. I think it's a bigger fete than getting the world record on a pancake flat course, and especially bigger than a 4x400 winning leg.

Couldn’t agree more. That’s top 2 for sure. Also, the Hocker slander was real, if you see that guy train you know that wasn’t a fluke.
