Some of the best runners in the world are in Portland, Ore. for the IAAF world indoor championships, one of the biggest events of the year and the largest so far in 2016. With the power of social media, it comes as no surprise that many people were talking track on Twitter yesterday.

Stats expert Hilary Evans first made a Twitter call out by tweeting the following:
