Eugene. Mondo’s perfect qualification in the relay and an unparalleled world record in the 400m hurdles were just some of what happened last night. Read about everything that happened while you were sleeping here!
Mondo simply on
Mundo Duplantis wanted to do two jumps, 5.65 and 5.75, then pack his bag and head home. This is exactly what he did.

McLaughlin dropped all inhibitions
I warned about it last night, and it definitely turned out to be a new unparalleled world record Sydney McLaughlin Which blew everyone completely off the track over the new world record.
Read about the race and what Mundo has to say about him after he followed him into the mixed zone with the Sportbladet here!
Favorite injury was a blood clot
Prior to the 800m trials, world number one and world number one Max Borgen, 20, withdrew from competition with a calf injury.
But it wasn’t a calf stretch. On closer examination, it turned out to be a blood clot instead.
– This is something that can be solved very simply and quickly. He says I am aiming and looking forward to representing my country again soon.
Finally, Miller-Oibo got the win
Shaun Miller-Uibo of the Bahamas was a gold contender in the 400m for three consecutive world championships before Eugene. But without success.
But tonight was the fourth time the Bahamian sprinter has matched the favorite she had built in trials. With a score of 49.11, the double Olympic gold medalist finally won his first World Cup gold.
– It’s been a long time already and our big goal this season was to win that gold medal. I’m so happy, Miller-Uibo says, who will now stop running so long.
– I’ll bet my first love, the 200m, and then I’ll try some all-around stuff, says the winner, who is married to Estonian multifunctional WC Maisel Oibo.
Al-Watan wins the men’s 400m race
There was a trio that entered the race around the same time in the men’s 400m. There, Michael Norman was the strongest and sprinted past Grenada’s Kirani James and Briton Matthew Hudson Smith. The winning time is modest 44.30.
Winning at home is a special thing, I’ll carry this with me for the rest of my life, says Norman.
The candidates got the wand
The Jamaican women provided the entire star trio with all 100m medals when the 4x100m trials were decided. But she still works with Team B. The fastest in this heat was the British team, who ran with everyone except Dina Asher-Smith, who rested after yesterday’s 200m bronze.
We have a really good team and we’ve trained hard. We always aim to win the gold medal, Daryl Neta tells SVT.
The USA recorded the fastest time ever with a score of 41.56.
On the men’s side, Jamaica was in worse shape after two disastrous swaps in Parts Two and Three. However, it was enough to get ahead on time, but it also meant an even worse draw in the final.
It was even more difficult for the Danish men, who have invested heavily in a world relay team. He actually finished in first gear as Simon Hansen never met Friedrich Shaw Nielsen.
The reigning hero defended the title of the Spear
I have described women’s javelin throwing as the worst quality event right now in the world of athletics. But in the final, New Zealand champion Kelsey Lee Barber showed at least an outstanding performance.
She threw the New World 66.91 best and came home with the gold medal again.
The silver medal was won by American Kara Winger and the bronze by Japan’s Harok Kitaguchi. But this is probably the first time a bronze has been sold for as cheap as 63.27.
Ray Benjamin withdraws from the long relay
He was hoping to win the 400m hurdles in front of his fans. But when Karsten Warholm fell silent, it was Alison dos Santos who drew the longest straw.
And now it’s clear there won’t be home gold in the 4x400m for Benjamin either. The American team announced, today, that it will not participate in the long relay due to injury.
