As the last day without a morning session, day seven kick-started with the javelin throw qualifications, which saw Grenada’s defending world champion Anderson Peters throw 89.91m – a mark that would have been enough to win all but four world javelin titles.

The 200m finals gifted us with a show impossible to forget. The women’s event saw Shericka Jackson lead a Jamaican 1-2 in a championship record of 21.45 – the second-fastest time in history – as 100m champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce claimed silver and Britain’s Dina Asher-Smith got bronze.

Then there was a USA sweep in the men’s 200m, with Noah Lyles obliterating the field to take home gold in a national record of 19.31, followed by his teammates Kenneth Bednarek and 18-year-old Erriyon Knighton.
