Records were shattered and new track legacies were forged at the World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Ore., where elite athletes faced off in front of thousands of fans. The U.S. team finished with 33 medals, including 13 gold, in its best performance ever at the event.
It was the first time the world championships were ever held in the U.S., and the atmosphere made it the most vibrant international track event in years, coming after fans were barred from last summer's Tokyo Olympics. Even before the pandemic struck, the 2019 championships in Doha drew notably small crowds.
Many athletes fed off the fans' excitement, turning in record-breaking performances at Hayward Field, the track mecca in Eugene.
Here's a sampling of moments that stood out across 10 days of championships:
