Busang Collen Kebinatshipi is the 2025 World Champion in the 400m, but at the 2026 Botswana National Championships though, he dropped down to the 100m and ran a huge personal best of 9.89 seconds on two occasions. These performances were very special for a few different reasons, which we'll break down today.

Garrett Kaalund of USC is the newly crowned 2026 NCAA indoor champion in the 200m. His winning time of 19.95 seconds was not only an NCAA record and American record, but was barely off the 30 year old World Record of 19.92, making him the 2nd fastest athlete in history.

Garrett is in his final year at USC and now has his sights set on the 2026 outdoor season where he looks to upgrade his 3rd place finish in the 200m last year and sweep both the indoor and outdoor NCAA titles.

In our conversation, we do a full breakdown of his record breaking indoor race, including his mindset and execution in both the heat and the final. We discuss his transfer from Nebraska over to USC last year and the changes he has made to training which has led to all this success. Garrett also shares some of his favorite sprint races throughout history and gets super analytical with each of them including races from Usain Bolt, Yohan Blake, Asafa Powell and Noah Lyles. And finally, he shares his goals for the 2026 outdoor season, which includes possibly winning 4 titles.

In 2004, after almost 20 years, the 200m was removed from the World Indoor Championship schedule and has never returned. Today, the indoor 200m is primarily only run by NCAA athletes and seldom contested on the indoor pro circuit. Lets break down why it was removed and why it will likely never return.
