They took home 10 medals, which is equal to the 1993 medals haul from Stuttgart and the second-highest total in their history.
The golden girl of Britain
Katarina Johnson-Thompson’s triumph represented a real-life return for the athlete, who has struggled with injuries ever since she won her maiden heptathlon crown in 2019.
Although she was a serious medal candidate, all the discussion leading up to the championships revolved around the way Anna Hall would easily win because the incumbent champion Nafi Thiam wasn’t competing. Johnson-Thompson, however, did not allow the American, who was hindered by a knee issue, escape her sight. She set two personal bests to recapture her title, demonstrating her strength and determination a year before the Olympics in Paris.
Hughes’ major moment came when he won bronze for the 100 meters, which highlights his development after a summer in which he smashed both the 200 and 100 meter British records.He stayed upbeat after finishing four in the 200 meters, but his frustration was evident after finishing fourth again in the 4×100 relay. Following his international breakthrough, the 28-year-old must now seize his opportunity, according to performance director Stephen Maguire.
For Asher-Smith, suffering
Dina Asher-Smith thought, at least for the 100 meters, that she had reached PB shape, but a neurological issue finally destroyed her medal aspirations. She finished a miserable eighth in the 100 meters and seventh in the 200 meters, and she did not participate in the relay, thus she left the championships empty-handed. Women’s sprinting may be at its peak right now, so Asher-Smith will want to fix any problems as soon as possible in order to maintain her momentum heading into the Olympics.
Keely still has fights to fight.
While she is on the platform, the 21-year-old will get tired of hearing other anthems. Two second-place finishes at the World Championship and two silver medals from the Olympics and Commonwealth Games will add fuel to the fire before the 800m at the upcoming Paris Games. Athing Mu, the defending champion, Mary Moraa, and Hodgkinson will keep competing in this intriguing competition.
Kerr King
Josh Kerr replicated Jake Wightman’s victory in Eugene last year to continue the British dominance against Jakob Ingebrigtsen during the 1500 meters. It sets up a tantalizing matchup between the two club teammates from Edinburgh AC and the reigning Olympic champion in Paris the following year.
