On July 24, local time, the 10-day Athletics World Championships came to an end, and a total of 39 champions were produced in this World Championships, and a total of 29 countries and regions shared gold medals.
So, who is the best athlete at this World Championships in Athletics?
Some people will say that it was the American athlete Norman who won two gold medals, and he alone won two gold medals in the men's 400 meters and 4 * 400 meters relay; Some would say that it was Leon from Peru, who alone won two gold medals in the women's 20 km race walk and the 35 km race walk.
Some would argue that it was the athletes who broke the world record and won the championship, such as the American women's 400m hurdles athlete McLaughlin, the Nigerian women's 100m hurdles athlete Amsan, and the Swedish men's pole vaulter Duplantis.
McLaughlin raised the 400m hurdles world record from 51.41 seconds held by herself to 50.68 seconds, an increase of 0.73 seconds; Duplantis raised his own pole vault world record from 6.20 meters to 6.21 meters, an increase of 1 centimeter; Amsan raised the world record in 100 hurdles from 12.20 seconds to 12.12 seconds, an increase of 0.08 seconds.
Athletes who break the world record will receive a bibliography with a "World Record" on it and a record-breaking prize of $100,000, which obviously makes them the best athletes more convincing.
However, to say that the supreme glory of this World Championships in Athletics belongs to Nigerian athlete Amsan, she has done a unique thing: she is the only champion athlete who let the organizing committee temporarily make a new bib number for her and break the world record.
In the semi-finals of the 100 hurdles, her bib number cloth looked like this:
In the final of the 100 hurdles, her bib number cloth looked like this:
Yes, the organizing committee temporarily added yellow to her number, representing the world's best result this year.
Although the temporary production of yellow number cloth may still exist, breaking the world record is not the only one, but the temporary production of yellow yard cloth, and breaking the world record, but also won the championship, Amsan is still the only one. This means that she was unknown before that.
Amsan became famous at this World Championship, and she ran too well in the final, won the championship, ran her best time (12.06 seconds), not counting the world record, so that she can definitely break the world record again in a certain competition and receive a record-breaking prize.
Only the next time, she should not have such surprised eyes again.
