No second consecutive global gold for Hodgkinson, but awesome race

 

Can't say I had heard much of Odira before this tournament. And silver for Hunter Bell, who asked ChatGPT to decide if she should run the 800 or 1500

Why might an athlete intentionally step on the line after they've thrown?  Just don't want to have a poor result on their record?  Looks like Erm did so twice.

Mostly just don't want to make people go through the trouble of measuring a distance they know is useless anyway. Athletiquette, so to say

Lyles 200m, Duplantis, Kipyegon 1500m, Bol, Perez Hernandez, Allman all were higher in my list (ok, also Warholm, Diaz Hernandez and Weber but ignore that ).

Even Keely couldn't save the tragic British athletics. Some might say karma is finally getting to them for the their and C o e's crusade against Russia in the last 10+ years.
