The Track and Field World Athletics Championships 2025, held in Tokyo, Japan, showcased the top athletes in the Track and field world. The Championship was held from September 13 to September 21, with an outstanding performance given by all the athletes, some of whom even broke records. Sprinters were the first to run, with South Africa’s Leoleta running a 9.87, followed by Juilan Alfred of Saint Lucia running a 10.93 in the women’s 100-meter sprint. On day two, Peres Jepchirchir won the women’s marathon, followed by day three, where Jasmine Jones, Femeke Bol, and Dalihald Muhammed qualified for the 400 m hurdles. On day three, a pole vault record was set by Mondo Duplantis, who cleared a 6.30m. Day four, fabulous Faith Kipueoan once again held her title, obtaining her fourth win in the 1500m. Day five, Issac Nader won the 1500m. Day six, Keshorn Walcott took home his first win of the Javelin throw. The 400-meter finals ended with an amazing performance by both Collen Kebinstshipi at 42.53 seconds and Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone at 47.78 seconds, once again breaking the record set by her. Day seven, Noah Lyles won for the fourth time in a row, gold for the men’s 200m. Femmeke Bol obtained the win for 400 m hurdles at 51.54 seconds and won gold. Many of these athletes we have seen once before in the Summer Olympics 2024 and have continued to prove themselves as some of the best in the world. We will have to anticipate what they bring to the table in the Summer Olympics 2026
