Aleksandr Sorokin
Aleksandr Sorokin comes in third in the 2023 Worldwide UROY voting. Sorokin’s successful year included just two races, but both were wins and one was a new world record. At the Nord Security World’s Fastest Run 100k in Lithuania, he broke his own world record set in 2022 by a mere 6 seconds. To close out the year, he won the IAU 24 Hour World Championships in Taiwan in December. Sorokin, who began running in his thirties after a shoulder injury, lives and trains predominately in his hometown of Vilnius, Lithuania. – Jeffrey Stern. Photo: Howie Stern
