Still buzzing from the weekend and looking for your next track-cation? Look no further!

The inaugural World Athletics Ultimate Championship—or “Ultimates” as the kids are now calling it—will be hosted in Budapest September 11th-13th. While attending won’t necessarily be the same as having watched the first-ever Olympics in-person, it’s still an excellent chance to witness Olympic-quality racing, with vastly easier logistics, for a fraction of the price.

Ultimates is only three days long and every session tops out at three hours, which means you can explore the city while the sun is up then experience nonstop finals in the evenings. There are plenty of flights from New York for under $800. Nice hotels in Budapest cost $100 a night. And a three-day ticket package is $90. For the value of a single morning session ticket in Los Angeles, you can watch 10x the amount of track and pay for an entire vacation. Like Icahn, the stadium sells beer – but for roughly 1/4th the price.

“I’m listening… but what athletes will be there?” you ask. Well, it’s an exclusive event with only 16 qualifying for events with semi-finals, 12 athletes in straight finals, and only eight qualifiers for the field events. With the national championships behind us, our attention now turns to the Road to the Ultimate tool to see which of our favorites still have to close the gap.

As you sort through the current status of potential athletes in each event, you’ll notice some names missing, like Yared Nuguse.

Despite having a fantastic season that includes multiple Diamond League wins and a 3:45 mile, his name is not on the list, which is odd because he’s technically ranked second in the world at 1500m. That’s because in most events an athlete needs five performances to be ranked, and three of those have to come in the exact event. So while Nuguse has raced plenty this season, including multiple fast miles and a couple indoor 1500ms, he needs one more outdoor 1500m to be considered.

Aside from those who will be invited based on their rankings, reigning World and Olympic champions will receive bids. Additionally, the week before Ultimates at the Diamond League Final in Brussels, one more spot will be handed out per event. These go to whoever is the highest finisher that has not already qualified. Meaning an athlete could finish last, but if everyone who beat them was already in the quota, then they’ll still get invited.

But there is yet another way to get invited to the World Ultimate Championships and that’s through what will henceforth be known as the “Seb Coe Clause.” Buried at the bottom of the rule book is a little loophole for exceptional invitations:

World Athletics has the right to provide an entry to an athlete who for whatever reason has not qualified for the Championship. This athlete would be within the above defined Target Numbers. Such exceptional invitation is limited to one per event and, unless notified otherwise, the deadline to allocate them is Monday 17 August.

For you non-lawyers out there, that basically means at the end of the day, anyone can be invited if World Athletics deems their absence to be a problem. It would be quite the power move to leverage an invitation via the Seb Coe Clause since it would bump another already-qualified athlete, considering there are lane limitations. So just because it seems like a competitor is comfortably inside the quota today, they are only a Yared Nuguse outdoor 1500m, a Diamond League finalist, and a Seb Coe Clause invitation away from being bumped.

Now, given the potential for controversy and outcry, Lord Coe shouldn’t waste these spots on just anyone—they should be reserved for transcendent superstars, otherwise other athletes will rightly scream “KANGAROO COURT” and stop buying into the whole rankings thing.

While it’s in the best interest of TV ratings to extend an invitation to iShowSpeed for the men’s 100m, it’s probably a dangerous precedent. Instead, an athlete should have a body of work or standout performance this season that gives us reason to believe they’re in the sort of shape it’ll take to become the first ever World Ultimate champion in their event.

So it’s our opinion that as of July 29th, these are the only athletes that should be considered for a Seb Coe Clause invitation:

Josh Kerr: It’s like this rule was written just for him. Despite a mile world record and World Indoor title this year, Kerr is nowhere close to qualifying the old fashioned way. Given that the Commonwealth Games is running the mile rather than the 1500m for the first time since 1966, it seems unlikely that the Beast will run three outdoor 1500m races. Who knows if he’d even accept the invite, but Kerr should definitely be Seb’s first call.

Rai Benjamin: Although he technically has invitations two ways to run the 400m hurdles, the Olympic and World Champion is not yet ranked in the flat 400m. Benjamin’s win in London and personal best of 44.05 proves that he’d be a contender. Fortunately, it will only take one more race to get him inside of the quota so this might not be necessary. (Of course, USAs could have been it, but Benjamin opted out.)

Elaine Thompson-Herah: Hot take – more people will want to see the five-time Olympic gold medalist run than whoever would otherwise get this spot. While it isn’t a popularity contest, ETH’s accolades and proven ability to show up at global championships warrants a bid. She is currently ranked 27th on the descending order list and just one or two solid showings at a Diamond League might get her over the hump. Regardless, the legend has run 10.91 this season and owns a personal best of 10.54 so there is merit.

Yomif Kejelcha: The only man ever to have run every marathon under two hours. Look, he’s probably not going to accept the invitation to run a 5000m, but he would have three months before Valencia. His range is a proven commodity and he only just recently stepped away from the track with a personal best of 12:38, in addition to two Diamond League wins last year. Kejelcha makes every race he is in more interesting, and given his newfound strength there is no doubt he’d be up front pushing the pace. At least ask him!

That’s it. Names like Mary Moraa, Isaac Kimeli, Sifan Hassan, and Gout Gout could be considered, but ultimately there was a stronger argument for keeping those fields in their present, organic forms. That said, if Jakob Ingebrigtsen wants to run the 1500m, Coe should obviously let him, if for no other reason than to ensure it’s an honest race from the gun.
