Top 10 World Records In 2023 

For me Sifan Hassan at London Marathon - she appeared injured about halfway through but came back and won in an amazing sprint finish. Totally badass

I'd put Kipyegon on top. 5000m world record followed by the mile world record by 5 seconds is pretty outstanding to me. Yeah, the 5000m record got broken but she still had it for a bit.

Your videos are so high quality, you're a really good narrator too. I just love your videos!

This was such an impressive year! I Love this highly of the year.

The Arkansas women's relay record is also interesting bc it happened at altitude! The Albuquerque Convention Center is somewhere around 5300 ft. The origin of this track is also interesting. It was apparently purchased 3rd-hand, in New/Unused condition, from cold storage in Canada for half the track's retail value. The Canadians apparently acquired it from the LA Staples Center who purchased the track originally but rejected delivery.

Wishing you a very happy new year.. Thanks for all the video this year

just a matter of time before sifan hassan breaks the WR she just needs to go head to head with assefa.... would be wondrous to watch them both

A great review. Thanks for covering the sport so thoroughly.

Thanks for making great videos, but can you please just title things normally? How would anyone know that "We Had No Idea..." and "Never Again" would be a top 10 video? Your content is good enough without having to resort to these weak YT tropes. Your fanbase appreciates you.

1:56 Olympcis 🔵🟡⚫️🟢🔴

I just want to see a sub 12:30 5k. That will be so monumental. Idc who does it

What a year! Thanks for the video.

spot on 🔥🔥🔥

Thanks for this. We were spoilt last year. As a fan. I am going to sit back and enjoy. Grouper, wow.

Hey TRP, for this off-season can you please make a documentary video on an important track and field event which happened some time ago. Like the video of the two sub 3.27 1500m. I really liked to watch that

#1 should definitely have been Faith Kipyegon

I saw Komen’s two mile second best time from the back straight in Sydney. Amazing.

You got it spot on!!

Consistently fantastic, and exciting videos! Thank you TRP. Small correction suggestion: Check the math on Ingebrigsten's 400m pace for his 2Mile WR. (474.10s / 3.218688m) x 0.4m = 58.92s per 400m.

I think that the best track and field world record this year was Leon marchand’s 4:02 400 IM

2 years ago, my 1st pick would be Warholm. I still cannot believe he did that...

I would like to mention one thing, of the ten only two are not raisers, and none of them in the top five.Armand Duplantis dominated the entire indoor season and set a World Record.He did not enter the EC indoor in Istanbul .He dominated the summer season ,defended his WC title,thereby becoming the third men pole vaulter in history to do so.He not only set a World Record in the Diamond League final, but also won with 41cm over number two and atleast a half of a meter over the rest.That should have given a better place than number 8.

As a fellow Kenyan, RIP Kelvin Kiptum.. your seat amongst the legends still remains

1:56 olympcis

I think I'd have put Assefa at #1 because Kiptum breaking the world record was just a matter of time. But who picked Assefa to break the women's WR - let alone by 2 minutes?

Great shoes!

I agree for sure.

The shocking of the Kiptum WR was the splits from 30-40 kms and more brutal was London with rain in 27:45

The #1 top WR should be Tigist Assefa's Womens Marathon Record. She ran more than 2 minutes faster than the previous record! Kiptium ran only 34 seconds faster...

Definetly Asefa and Kiptum for me. Just insane. Also Tsegay 5k. Honorable mentions to Bekele with new masters record Looking forward for Siffan who in my opinion can brake the WR in marathon. She won both London and Chicago and that were her first two marathons 😂

Jacob's 2 mile is the unbeatable record,

1:57 olympcis?

17 minutes and 46 seconds of TRP!? Count me in.

What a year, what a year

Typo at 1:56 - OLYMPCIS

We need more detail in this titles

the sport so thoroughly

Yes! I agreed with every placing you chose and how you ranked them. Thanks for putting the marathoners as 1 and 2. Nobody truly appreciates the autistic dedication necessary to smash records in a distance event like the marathon.

1:55 "OLYMPCIS"????

Can I request that you start putting what the video is about as the title again instead of “you won’t believe this” type stuff

What a legendary year in track & field that Femke Bol breaking the 40-year world record in 400m is at the bottom of most exceptional world records this year.

I would flip #1&#2

That Arkansas 4x4 is pretty great......should absolutely count.

I’m just saying if you named the video the best track and field athletes of the year i personally would click it… I opened this video at the end of watching my subscriptions thinking it would be talking about drama… great vids tho ❤️

Can you put a full title in? I am just a casual RU-vidr and when I see 17min I want to be sure it’s worth my time to watch. When I see titles like this I scroll right by because I’m not sure what the point of the video is and whether I should give you my time. I would watch more of your videos if you made this change

TRP. Many thanks for the amasingly high quality of your videos/production this year. I've been telling people I know to watch your channel. (Just to ignore the headlines. Ha!) Yes, I've been a dickhead at times when pointing out things I don't agree with. But I do attempt to be constructive. Great list of performances. I liked that you included both Shot Put and Pole Vault performances in the list. No, I don't agree with you re Mixed Country Relay performances. I'm not putting down the individual performances in the relay but at almost any time a promoter could organise a group of top runners from different Countries to race a Relay... and possibly break a World Record. Get a couple of athletes sprinters from US and Jamaica together and presto! An issue with Marathon World Records is the different Courses. Essentially, we have a whole host of Course Records. Providing the Course remains EXACTLY the same, we can plot improvements. But comparing the top Marathon course eg London, Berlin and others, there are always going to be aspects that favour one over the other. eg Tarmac, camber, elevation rise/fall, wind protection etc Re Indoor Track. Again, all tracks are not equal for Indoors. Some are quite a bit faster than others, due to the different types of construction and materials used and thus the assistance given to the athlete. Plus, a huge percentage of World top runners simply do not run Indoor Track. The 200m Indoor Track requires a different balance to a 400m Outdoor Track. That is why the performances on Indoor Tracks cannot really be equated with Outdoor times. The USA puts a much greater emphasis on Indoor Track due to their College/University programs. Most Countries don't even have Indoor Tracks! These nuances seem to be overlooked by the viewers. Anyway, Cheers TRP. Go 2024 Olympics!!

What’s the name of the song playing in Jakob’s part

olympcis 1:55

1:41 you can only beat the competitors that are there.

What spikes were Tsegay wearing?

Thanks for the off season fix.

please do a video on discus!

I think it' s unfair to state that Femke Bol only went undefeated because McLaughlin wasn't competing. While I agree that may be likely, you shouldn't state that as if its a fact. The fact is that she was undefeated because she was the fastest!

Kelvin kiptum is doping

how many times did u change the title

Jakob’s 2 mile record will stand for far longer than any of the others, so this for me is the #1!

Duplantis is a monster who innately loves pole vaulting. I mean...the guy made his own pole vault in his backyard when growing up.

I forgot girma broke the indoor 3k. Crazy to think komen has no WR left

Kelvin! Three times under 202. Once under 201. Three of the top seven times.

The two mile for me.

Nice

Why must every video have a sensationalist title?

🎉🎉🎉

Misspelled Olympics in 1:58.

All these efforts are tantamount to an otherworldly out of body experience if indeed there is such a thing in athletics. However, Tigist Assefa’s WR exceeds an on par with that of Kelvin Kiptum’s. With earth shaking performances by women like this we find the men scrambling to stay ahead of their epic strides, and to think they were once banned from this event. They should allow women of this caliber to start with the elite men. It’s all about fairness and equality in the sport now, so high time we show it. Why have male pacers when they could be in lock step with elite men from the start if they prefer? This WILL happen again until the bar is raised appropriately in recognition of women.

RIP Kelvin Kiptum

Me: Think that one day I can run sub 8 for a mile. After the video: *Slinks to the corner and finishes his humble pie. * I mean wow. Such great athleticism.

you could say Tsegay is Gud AF. Because she is!

Femke Bols greatest achievement is breaking that 40yr old record without taking so much juice that she stopped being legally recognised as a woman. Well done Femke ! 😏

Total running productions is a Jacob glazer

2 mile world record for me.

rip Kiptum

i dont really like the 1 cm world record at a time by duplantis, cuz of the same reason you said, he can go higher the problem i have with this and maybe Duplantis will regret it too later on, is that there will come a time that his abilities will go downhill, so when that happens he will have a world record at a certain height that couldve been higher had he tried to go to the max when his form and abilities were at his top. but yea its kinda tradition as Bubka also did it this way. who knows Bubka could also have had a higher jump had he tried going to the max when he was on his top.

I agree with the list but I'd put Kipyegon higher.

Wait a minute, there’s no way you can omit Kipyegon’s 3:49.11 1500. Sorry one of the records here should’ve been omitted.

3.000 m and one mile reord next year will be owned by Jakob Ingebrigtsen

Kipyegon on top

The competition need to be between mondu dup. Faith k. And rayn kr. I think the rayn record is the most unique that no on except of him will even get close duplantis will be second place and faith k. Will be third because she broke 2 records but her records definitely will be broken soon and that I can’t say on rayn and mondu

Thank God, i really wanted 🙏 to c Jakob on this 🙏 list 🙏 😊

Your Jakob bias/obsession is obvious. No way is his record in a rarely ran event superior to Faith's records.

Nice world records.

I don't think keptum marathon wr should be #1 because I believe it will get lowered soon, but no jakob ingebrigtsen 2 mile world record

U misspelled olympics

7:02 on the one hand this is a stupid rule, these women _are_ on the same team. But on the other hand, I suppose this rule would preclude some gazillionaire or some sponsoring corporation from just paying the fastest athletes to be on a relay for a few days. But it is an NCAA record, and it’s wild that the NCAA record is faster than the WR. This almost like the INEOS 1:59 challenge with Eliud Kipchoge. There have to be some rules to standardize the events in athletics.

So you are comparing Britton Wilson running 49.20 with a flyng start to Bol world record 49.26 with a standing start? You know that Usain Bolt did 8.80 in the 100m with a flyng start? It doesn't mean that he can do it with standing start. Also Britton Wilson's best 400m indoor is 49.48 and she did that in a super-high altitude track

Duplantis could have beaten his own world record by 4 inches, but he insists on breaking it 1cm at a time to maximize money

Faith

Is Faith finished with the 1 000 metres. The mile/1509 goat. Either gender.

I get this channel is called Running Productions and the fan base is likely biased around that, but to not put Crouser in a minimum of top 5 is bonkers. This man has been crushing it to a degree that puts no one even close and on top of that only gets better and better. He hasn't broken a record once or twice but several times only having himself as an opponent to challenge. Not enough recognition on his accomplishments.

Everyone has their own take. I know you like the marathon but for me anyone who even comes near a Komen world record is legendary but to obliterate it like Ingebrigtsen did - that is other world. Even the great Bekele didn’t come within 10 seconds. My #1 is the 2 mile. It’s Beamonish. I don’t think that can be beaten unlike the marathon WR which will probably go down next year.

Why don't you name the video about whats in it? Just clicked on one from timr to time cause its kinda always clickbait and this is top 10 records this year? Why dont make it clear?

Why the click bait title?

And then you get to the women’s five k!

Another thing Duplantis set three World Records last year, this year he only set two.That’s not good enough, he can do better and higher , that’s what you’re saying.So what if he dominated the whole year, he always does.Come on are you being fair? Look at his age, what he has done and don’t forget about it, and don’t use it against him.

Team Arkansas in front of Duplantis! Ha

IF I WERE SYDNEY ID ALSO BE LOOKING FOR ANOTHER EVENT FOR PARIS ,I THINK FEMKE WILL WIN THE 400H

So beating a two mile world record by 4.5 seconds is better than beating a one mile world record by 5 seconds and beating a marathon world record by half a minute is better than beating a marathon world record by over two minutes. Yay, go men.

Great video as usual, but it is Olympics NOT Olympcis LOL!

Some of these athletes like Bol were ranked pretty high in competing for the European Sportsperson of the Year Award too, but Novak Djokovic won it for the 5th time (rightfully so).

Olympcis lol
