In the thrilling world of athletics, the Athletics World Championships in Tokyo have been a rollercoaster of emotions. Here are some highlights from the event.
Faith Cherotich of Kenya clinched the hurdles final with an impressive time of 8:51.59 minutes, securing her place amongst the world's best.
Gesa Krause, the double European champion, showed remarkable resilience after a fall in the hurdles final. Despite the setback, she managed to set a season best of 9:14.27 minutes.
Julian Weber, Germany's biggest gold hope and the world leader in the javelin throw, had a mixed performance in the 3000m hurdles. He finished a respectable seventh, but a spectacular moment of shock at the final water jump slightly dampened his spirits. Weber, who has been aiming to end his streak of fourth places at global championships, is determined to give his best in the final.

In a less athletics-related news, a TV presenter from Ludwigsburg is receiving lots of support on social media after an NDR cancellation.
