I'm pretty happy with the way things turned out at the World Championships.
Although there were no white athletes in the finals of the men's short sprints, Boling, Tortu, and Dobson, all picked up medals in the relays.
I am sure this will give them confidence and inspire them going forward. Tortu in particular looked good on the anchor leg of the 4x100m, and I hope he realizes that he has the potential to be much better than how he has performed in individual races.
In the 400m, Håvard Bentdal Ingevalsen of Norway, made the finals after scaring the European record in the semis, running 44.39. He is just 20 yrs old.
In the 800m, young Ben Pattison (21) of Great Britain, took the bronze medal.
In the middle distances, Europeans dominated over the Africans. Jakob Ingebrigsten won the 5000m and took 2nd in the 1500m. Josh Kerr of Scotland won the 1500m, and Narve Gilje Nordas of Norway took 3rd.
Karsten Warholm came through with a big win in the 400m hurdles, vanquishing all rivals, and winning his 3rd World Championships. He is incredible.
Miltiadis Tentoglou of Greece won the Long Jump in dramatic fashion on his last jump.
Gianmarco Tamberi of Italy won the High Jump.
Armand Duplantis of Sweden won the Pole Vault again, jumping 20 feet even!
And finally, the Italian relay team, which is 7/8 white, took silver in the 4x100m relay.
If you read through this, then you notice that Norwegian athletes played a big role in these Championships. They won a total of 4 medals, which is remarkable for such a small country.
Will recap the women's side later.
