The world athletics championships were, not for the first time, the Armand Duplantis show on Monday although though New Zealand's Geordie Beamish did his best to share the spotlight after a shock win in the 3,000 metres steeplechase.
Duplantis kept the drama going to the end in Tokyo -- after the Swede retained his crown he went on to break the world record for the 14th time, on his third and final attempt at 6.30 metres.
