    847. My 2025 TCS New York City Marathon Recap

    November 7, 2025

    "They play 'New York, New York,' and everyone goes crazy."

    It was another New York City Marathon to remember. It was one of the most rewarding weekends of my life and of my career. I hosted a live show with Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone at Jazz at Lincoln Center, I was on the ESPN and ABC broadcasts on race day, I interviewed Katie Couric for the Ali on the Run Show, and I was on top of the world the entire time. This is my exhaustive recap of every step.

    846. LIVE in New York City with Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone

    November 3, 2025

    "People always give me a hard time, they're like, 'You never show emotion after your race.' And I'm like, 'You run this and then you try to show emotion!'"

    It's hard to describe the feeling of walking out into the stunning Appel Room at Jazz at Lincoln Center, warmly greeted by 500 people in Team Ali sweatshirts, courtesy of New Balance, and getting to interview Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone. This live show was magical, marvelous, magnificent, and so very memorable. Thank you to everyone who joined us, thank you to Sydney, and thank you to New Balance for the unwavering support. 

    Sydney is one of the greatest track and field athletes of all-time. She's a six-time world record holder. She holds the world record in the 400m hurdles, and the American record in the flat 400m. She's a four-time Olympic gold medalist, a five-time World Championships gold medalist, a one-time silver medalist (oh we talk about her relationship with the silver), and a five-time U.S. champion. She can also juggle, and it was an absolute joy to get to know her during this event. Enjoy!

    Grand Slam Track: Kingston – Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone Analyzes Her 50.32 For 400m In Crazy Wind

    7 months ago

    Four-time Olympic gold medallist Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone reminded the world why she’s one of the most dominant athletes in track & field with a commanding win in the 400m flat at Grand Slam Track Kingston, clocking 50.32 despite windy conditions. This victory followed her world-leading 52.76 in the 400m hurdles on Friday, giving her the sweep and the $100,000 Slam Champion title in the Women’s Long Hurdles event group. The world record holder continues to show her range—and she’s not done yet. Speaking to Peacock after the race, McLaughlin-Levrone teased possible future appearances in the 100m, 100m hurdles, or long sprints at upcoming Grand Slam meets in Philadelphia or Los Angeles.

    GRAND SLAM TRACK KINGSTON DAY 3 REACTION SHOW – SYDNEY MCLAUGHLIN DOMINATES AGAIN, GRANT FISHER DELIVERS, TAYE & WILLIAMS MAKE HISTORY

    April 6, 2025

    The first-ever Grand Slam Track event in Kingston is in the books and twelve athletes are walking away $100,000 richer. That’s $1.2 million in prize money handed out across one weekend.

    The weekend closed the way it began: with Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone doing Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone things — cruising to a 50.32 in the 400, winning her race group, and reminding the world why she’s the face of this sport. First signee. Final champion. Signature Sydney.

    Grant Fisher snuck into Slam Champion status with a gritty 3rd in the 3k after winning the 5k on Friday — edging Hagos Gebrhiwet by a single point. Sasha Zhoya won the men’s short hurdles group by winning the 100 flat — proving that versatility, not just velocity is the new currency for the big money.

    Melissa Jefferson-Wooden doubled up in the sprints. Emmanuel Wanyonyi did just enough to hold off Marco Arop in the standings. Ejgayehu Taye ran 14:54 to sweep her distance group. And Alison dos Santos? Leaned like his life depended on it to close a 400m thriller by two hundredths.

    Oh — and Jamaica got its moment too. Danielle Williams, world champ turned home crowd hero, claimed her slam title in the short hurdles with a win in the flat 100. First Jamaican Slam Champion. First Challenger to knock out the Racers. Crowd went bananas.

    Every race meant something. Every move on the track changed the leaderboard. And from the pacing to the prize money, it actually felt like a sport you could follow.

    Next stop? Miami, May 2–4. New city. New matchups. Same $100K at the finish line.
