Armand Duplantis from Sweden again broke the world record, already 14. (AP) Tokyo: The World Athletics World Championship was for the first time for the first time on Monday, Armand Duplantis, although Geordie Beamish from New Zealand tried to share the reflector after a shock victory at 3,000 meters of Steeplechase.Duplantis kept the drama until the end in Tokyo – after the Swede retained his crown, he continued to interrupt the world record for 14 times, in his third and last attempt at 6.30 meters.The crowd of 53,000 forces remained rooted in its seats, although the event on the track ended long before.They witnessed that Duplantis jumped into the stand and enjoyed a long and passionate kiss with his fiancée Inglander before accepting his parents.Beamish was a big heating act.After falling into the heating, he almost did not get to the final, but stood up and created a sensational speed explosion to qualify.In the final, the long -haired kiwi defeated the double defending champion Soufane El Bakkali of Morocco about the hair width on the line to add New Zealand his first world traces.The Swiss 100 m obstacle Ditaji Kambundja jumped even more surprise in her final, a 23 -year -old country that gave her country the first medal in obstacles.There was no such rocking in the women’s hammer, the Canadian Olympic champion Camryn Rogers retained his title, and she also accused the stalls to accept her team.

Duplantis, however, deserved to the center of attention.Showman can never deliver, and with his winning smile he packed gold 6.15 m in front of his piece de resistance.His rivals never had a finger – Greece Emmanouil Karalis took silver with the best 6.00 m, then helped keep Duplantis cool with an electric fan and Australian Kurtis Marschall claimed bronze with a personal best 5.95 m.“I felt that the only way to leave Japan is to set a world record,” Duplantis said.“That was my mentality. I don’t know what’s on for me at the moment, I don’t care.“I will enjoy it right now. I felt really good all day. I knew I had a record in me.”‘Pretty excited’

There were distances races, especially male events, full surprises and 3,000 m steeplechase, showed up on these championships.Beamish, 28, descended from the outside when El Bakkali accused for a line that believed that the bag was the third title.Beamish, however, gained him and they broke the line together, but Kiwi did only enough, timed for 8 minutes 33.88 seconds to Moroccan double Olympic champion 8: 33,95.“It was a turn, was it? It was quite unreal,” Beamish said with a masterpiece.“It’s unreal.“It’s the first gold song for New Zealand at the World Championship, which is quite cool.”El Bakkali was totally upset and collapsed to the ground sobed before he was comforted by Salaheddine Ben Yazide. “It is very difficult for me to accept this result, but I have to, because it is a high -performance sport,” said a 29 -year -old man.Kambundji was not the first of her family to appear in the finals on the track, because her sister Mujinga ran in three finals at the Tokyo Olympic Games in Covid in 2021.Monday’s heroine looked amazed at victory as the Masai Russell Olympic Champion, who predicted that she could break the world record, instead in fourth.“I’m just enjoying the title,” Kambundji said. “It’s amazing to be the world champion. My family is here in the stalls – my mom, dad and my aunt, and it’s amazing to share this moment with them.”Men’s 1500 meters looks like it could go to Britain for the third time, because the US Olympic Champion Cole Hocker was disqualified and joined Jakob Ingebrigtsen on the edge.Britain will have three finalists, all from Scotland, including champion Josh Kerra and 2022 Victor Jake Wightman, who both denied Ingebrigtsen Gold.
