Does anyone know what WL means after an athletes time. There is SB, seasons best, PB personal best, but even as an avid watcher of sport, WL is beyond me.

World Leader - best time so far this season

WL means world leader ( the best achieved world wide in the current season ).

Farah's run was indeed brilliant. Hope you all watched it.

Whoops, spoiler from Togo.

Mo was amazing. I really didn't think he'd do it at one point, especially when he was pushed off the track, but what a star he is. I hope his road career is as illustrious.

Oops, sorry from me for adding to it.

Thanks all, I was considering World Lead. Nice to expand my knowledge with your help.
