Djamel Sedjati ran a sensational 800m
The Ultimate Championship’s inaugural staging was an unprecedented success over three fast-paced evenings in Budapest, Hungary where a record $10m prize pot was distributed among the sport’s biggest stars.
“It’s a good first step towards changing track and field for the better,” said Usain Bolt, event ambassador and the greatest sprinter in history. “The athletes are loving it. It’s a different energy, a different vibe.”
World Athletics and its president, Lord Coe, worked for three years to tackle the absence of a season-ending pinnacle event. And this innovative new event was a tremendous success.
There were many outstanding races and unexpected finishes, one of them being Algeria’s Djamel Sedjati winning the men’s 800 metres.
