After seven days, the World Cup faces the last three. So far he has left a daily trail of big brands, how could it be otherwise. But none really shocking to be remembered and defined.
Speed crowned a superlative Christian Coleman , but not overwhelming. His 9.76 place him as the sixth man of all time. But he will have to keep on trusting to enter into a truly selective brotherhood: the one that lives under the threshold of 9.75. Even so, its registration is objectively formidable. Not so much the 19.83 of Noah Lyles in the 200. The one in Florida is deflating, yes, bathed in gold, after having lavished and run in 19.50. And, in addition, three times below 19.80.
He fantasized with some justification with a new world record of 400 fences. The fierce Norwegian Karsten Warholm did not get back down from 47 seconds. His 47.42 would look at any meeting rally. But, given the expectations aroused by him and Rai Benjamin and Abderrahman Samba , they fell short.
Magnificent record for a World Cup, where medium and background races are usually tactical, for the young (22) American Donavan Brazier in the 800. His 1: 42.34 are marred by the penalty to his coach, Alberto Salazar . The same merit for the 12: 58.85 of the Ethiopian Muktar Edris in the 5,000.
The jumps lacked a point of greatness. But, together, they have been until now the best of the Championship. Tajay Gayle (Jamaica) reached 8.69 in length. Christian Taylor , at 17.92 in triple. And Sam Kendricks and Armand Duplantis , at 5.95 in the pole. In the throws, in the absence of the promising weight of Saturday and the javelin of Sunday, Pawel Fajdek went from 80 meters in hammer (80.50).
Globally, although without breaking barriers, the women's 100 meters and high jump had a level worthy of a World Cup. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce , the Jamaican pocket bullet, led with a 10.76 test with four women under 11 seconds. And another four exceeded two meters, with the neutral Mariya Lasitskene and the Ukrainian junior Yaroslava Mahuchikh in 2.04. The British Dina Asher-Smith was with 21.88 the lonely black pearl of about 200 meters characterized by the forced or voluntary absence of half a dozen of the great ladies of the specialty.
