For his part, Rai Benjamin (46.46) clearly beat Karsten Warholm in the fight for the 400 hurdles gold, and the Belgian Nafissatou Thiam won his third heptathlon gold (6,880 p.), a milestone that puts him in the best history in his specialty.

In the women’s event, an expected victory for the United States, with Gabrielle Thomas and Sha’Carri Richardson in their ranks (41.78) ahead of Great Britain and a contender for Germany.
