In the jumping pit, Julimar Rojas emphasized her exclusive control of the women’s triple jump when she won the world title for the third time in a row in a supreme show.
The gap of world champion Venezuela from the rest of the jumps is so large that even though Anika Roberts of Jamaica won the money with an annual record of 14.89 meters and Tori Franklin of America Bard with an annual record of 14.72, they were not at all close to Rojas.
Already in the second jump, the jumper from Venezuela set 15.47 meters, the result of the year in the world and the fifth best in history, and promised to become the first jumper ever to win three times the world title in the triple jump.

Even running for 1,500 female legends strengthened her status as such.
Fate Kipigun, the “Kenya sniper” as she is known, became the first to win four major titles (World Championships and Olympics) in the distance when he asked for the gold medals at the 2017 London World Championships and the Rio Olympics, adding gold in the organ tonight.
Cipegon, who between medals also took a break of over a year to give birth, dominated the run from the first moment and crossed the finish line in a time of 3:52:96 minutes, ahead of Ethiopian Godaf Tsagai and British Laura Muir.

The same respectable list of female athletes, who won a major fourth title, was also joined by the Belgian Nafi Tiam, who regained the world title in the seven-stroke.
With 6947 points - the second best result of her career - the 27-year-old Belgian won the world championship for the second time (she also won in London 2017) and added this to the gold medal wins in Rio and Tokyo.
Dutchman Anok Water won the bronze and American Anna Hall won the bronze.

Men’s history was recorded tonight in the 3,000-meter hurdles when Olympic champion Sufian al-Bakali became the first Moroccan to win the world championship when he crossed the distance in a time of 8:25:13 minutes.
In a relatively tactical and slow run, Bakali was ahead of the last in line with Ethiopian Lamache Girma and Kansas Proto Consul.
