Rai has been a great ambassador for track and field. He is consistent at demonstrating a high level of excellence on and off the field. I'm happy to see him finally defeat Karsten when they're both healthy. I happen to be a fan of both, but Rai is our US champion. Good luck in Paris Mr. Benjamin.
Rai had a tiger in his tank that last 100 meters and he maintained great form and looked like a gazelle as he motored past the GOAT. Warholm had no answer for Rai today. Warholm was very strong and just missed tying his season-best of 46.51 by a mere .02 second. But Rai ran 46.39. Just blistering. He put it away.
Given the false start rules that athletes face, their prize money should be a hefty sum rather than a paltry $30,000.00. Show up and false start after so much preparation and to get tossed is insane. T&F athletes work very hard and to not get the chance to compete because of nerves; show T&F athletes the big pay check. Anyway, great for you Rai, I hope you get the cheque and Diamond trophy.
4 times the prize money FOUR years later? After they couldn't collect any money in 2020? There should be growth, but it should be $60,000 or so. Not 4 times the prize money.

Rai is right about the prize money.
I agree with Rai! Why such a big drop in the payouts? $50,000.00 in 2019 and now it’s $30,000.00? That makes no sense.
#raibenjamin - keep killin it! you're doing amazing!
Money, Money...money...

Sponsors love it when you don't wear your uniform, don't display their logo at all.
