Shot putter Ryan Crouser missed his own world record by just five centimeters with his gold throw at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest. The American reached 23.51 m and successfully defended his title.
The women’s 10,000m fell prey to Ethiopia’s Gudaf Tsegay, who won in 31:27.18. Sifan Hassan from the Netherlands fell a few meters before the finish line in the medal fight and got nothing.
A world record was set in the mixed relay by the US quartet Justin Robinson, Rosey Effiong, Matthew Boling and Alexis Holmes, who won the 4 x 400 m in 3:08.80 minutes. Here, too, a fall prevented another outcome, the Dutch Femke Bol fell in the gripping gold fight.
