The 2024 Millrose Games was the 116th edition of the annual indoor track and field meeting in New York City. Held on 11 February at the Fort Washington Armory in Upper Manhattan, it was the sixth leg of the 2024 World Athletics Indoor Tour Gold series – the highest-level international indoor track and field circuit.
A world record and a world best were set at the meeting. First, Devynne Charlton broke Susanna Kallur's women's 60 metres hurdles world record by 0.01 seconds with a time of 7.67. This performance was not expected, as Charlton had only finished third at the 2024 New Balance Indoor Grand Prix one week prior.[1]
The world best occurred in the short track men's two miles, where Josh Kerr broke Mo Farah's previous world best with an 8:00.67 clocking. He was led through the mile in 4:03, and stayed behind Grant Fisher until the final stages. Behind him, Fisher set an American best at the distance and various other national records were achieved in the same race.[2]
In the women's two miles, Medina Eisa originally crossed the line first, but she was disqualified for cutting in her lane during the staggered start, so her total distance ran was less than two miles.[3]
