I suspect Masai Russell will win AOTY, and she would be very deserving. But there's a case for Audrey Werro, too.
Werro is hurt by comparisons against times from the '80s that no one believes in. Strip those out and she ran the three fastest 800s ever in 2026.

ONE & DONE QUEEN!!🔥
Yan Ziyi 🇨🇳 blew out the competition in the women's Javelin Throw at the Asian Games with her very first throw, going out to a massive 70.46m!
She broke the Games Record by almost 5 metres, getting her lick back at Haruka Kitaguchi 🇯🇵 who had beaten her at the World Ultimates, the Japanese getting 2nd with 62.70m.
Sae Takemoto 🇯🇵 finished 3rd with 62.15m.

ASIAN RECORD!!!! 😤🔥
Puripol Boonson 🇹🇭 clocked 19.88 seconds (-0.3) to dominate the men’s 200m final at the Asian Games in Nagoya.
It’s a personal best, national record, games record, and equals the Asian record.

GAMES RECORD!!! ⚡️
Puripol Boonson 🇹🇭 continues his impeccable form, clocking 20.10 seconds (0.0) to advance to the men’s 200m final at the Asian Games in Nagoya.
He improved the games record of 20.14 seconds, set by Femi Ogunode in 2014.
🎥 @AsianGames_2026
Have been a fan of Boonson for a while. I hope in ‘27 and beyond he prioritises the global schedule over the SEA one, would be interesting to see what he can potentially do on the big stage fully peaked
GAMES RECORD!!! 😯👏
Watch Puripol Boonson 🇹🇭 set a national record of 9.91 seconds (+0.1) to qualify for the men’s 100m final at the Asian Games in Nagoya.
He also broke the games record of 9.92 seconds, set by Su Bingtian in 2018.

What a race by 🇩🇴 Marileidy Paulino!!🔥
She dug deep to pull off the win in the women's 400m at Athlos London, clocking 48.73s!
That was her 15th sub-49 performance, tying the all-time record for the most sub-49s ever run by a woman in the event.
An amazing Henriette Jæger 🇳🇴 smashed the Norwegian Record with a massive PB of 48.78s to finish 2nd.
