Ja'Kobe Tharp (USA) broke the world record in the 110m hurdles earlier this summer and is the standout sprint-hurdler of the 2026 season. According to World Athletics and Athletics Weekly, the field remains highly competitive: world champion Cordell Tinch (USA) and former world record holder Grant Holloway (USA) are also qualified. The American trio splits the winning chances broadly evenly; no dedicated Polymarket market available for this individual race. Tharp as world record holder and season leader is rated the slight favorite.

Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team clinches the 2026 Formula 1 Constructors' Championship at the Las Vegas Grand Prix (November 21–22, 2026)

Mercedes leads the constructors' standings with 630 points over Ferrari (504) by a 126-point margin (as of Nov 8, 2026; source: grandepremio.com / skysports.com).
