This episode dives into the storm that hit World Athletics after Faith Kipyegon and Beatrice Chebet were left off the 2025 Women’s Track Athlete of the Year shortlist. We break down why their seasons were historic, why fans feel the finalists do not measure up in terms of pure achievement, and how the gap between fan voting and the final panel decision set off alarms across the sport. It is not just about two snubs. It is about how track decides whose greatness counts and why the secrecy around these awards keeps fueling frustration. This is the conversation shaking up the running world and pushing fans to demand better.
