The men’s race saw USA’s Noah Lyles claim his third straight world 200m title which, when added to his 100m crown days earlier, confirmed his status as the undisputed current king of the sprinting domain.
In the field events, both finals played out in remarkable similar circumstances, the women’s triple jump and javelin won with a last-gasp act of brilliance, right when Yulimar Rojas and Haruka Kitaguchi needed it most.
