Rising Australian middle-distance runner Abbey Caldwell wants to delay her toughest decision as long as possible.
Caldwell's victory in the women's 800 metres at the Adelaide Invitational on Saturday continues her stunning upward trend in the event.
The 22-year-old is also a 1500m world championship semi-finalist - and Australia's reigning national champion over the longer distance.
But with less than five months before the Olympic Games, Caldwell says she's no closer to deciding which distance to target in Paris.
"Honestly, I have no idea at this moment," Caldwell told AAP.
"I wish I could just say that I want to do one or the other.
"But I'm loving both just as much as each other.
"I'll balance them both for as long as possible and when I have to make a decision, I will see what the gut says."
Caldwell (two minutes 0.81 seconds) cruised to victory in an Adelaide field including 800m world No.7 and national record holder Catriona Bisset and Linden Hall, a dual Olympian who made the 1500m final at the Tokyo Games of 2021.
Bendere Oboya (2:02.57) was second with Hall (2:02.58) third as Caldwell continued her string of 800m successes - she set multiple personal bests last year, when she raced the 800-1500 double at the world championships.
Also on Saturday night, teenage sprint sensation Torrie Lewis handled her new-found status as Australia's fastest-ever woman with aplomb.
Lewis was a comfortable winner in the 200m, a fortnight after clocking the fastest 100m time ever by an Australian woman - 11.10 seconds.
The 19-year-old, who won the 200m in 23.05 ahead of Georgia Hulls (23.49) and Ella Connolly (23.50), was mobbed by spectators.
"It's nice to get recognised and appreciated," Lewis told AAP.
In the men's 100m, Jacob Despard, a promising junior cricketer who started sprinting to assist his fast-bowling run-up, triumphed in 10.28 seconds.
Japan's Ryota Yamagata was second in 10.34, well outside his national record of 9.95, with Australian Joshua Azzopardi (10.35) third.
Ebony Lane held off a fast-finishing Bree Masters by one-hundredth of a second in the women's 100m.
The 25-year-old Lane, who made her world championship debut last year, clocked a personal best of 11.35 seconds.
Australia's Olympic medal hope and reigning Diamond League discus champion Matt Denny (65.74m) was beaten by New Zealander Connor Bell (65.93m).
