Great Britain's Max Burgin ran a season's-best time of one minute and 42.98 seconds to win the 800 meters at a Diamond League meeting in Rabat, Morocco, on June 7, 2026.
The 24-year-old Burgin beat a strong field that included Kenya's Emmanuel Wanyonyi, the world silver medalist. Burgin's time was a personal best and the fastest in the world this year.
Burgin, who has struggled with injuries in recent seasons, showed impressive form as he kicked past Wanyonyi in the final straight to secure victory. The win marks a significant milestone in his career as he builds towards future championships.
