Today’s women’s 400mH final saw Femke Bol take the world title, while Dalilah finished seventh in 54.82s. But medals don’t tell the whole story. Dalilah is the legend who changed the 400mH forever, raising the bar so high that everyone after her had to push to match it. With three Olympic medals, five World medals, and the third-fastest 400mH all-time spot to her name, her legacy remains unmatched. Although she's retiring now, she is someone the sport will never forget. Watch her final Worlds race below...

Pedro Pichardo did it again! In the men’s Triple Jump final today, he was leading with 17.55m before Italy’s Andrea Dallavalle stunned the crowd with a huge personal best of 17.64m in the final round. But Pichardo answered right back, flying out to a 17.91m world lead in the last round to win the World Championship crown in style!

Athlete: Niels Laros pulled out of the men’s 5000m heats after running up front in second place.
Severity: It was later confirmed he’d been dealing with minor Achilles tendon issues since the 1500m final. Although cleared to race after treatment, the pain flared up mid-race and forced him to step off the track.
Odds of return: Sadly, this ends Laros’ World Championships campaign.
