The World Athletics Championships 2025 concluded a gripping season in track and field in Tokyo, Japan.
Great Britain and Northern Ireland had hoped to land medals with Olympic champion Keely Hodgkinson in the women’s 800m, while other medallists in Paris last year included Georgia Hunter Bell, Josh Kerr, Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Matthew Hudson-Smith. But it was a meagre haul of five – with no golds – for Team GB in the end.
Superstar Mondo Duplantis delivered another world record and the unstoppable Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone also won gold, while the men’s 100m delivered plenty of drama as Oblique Seville of Jamaica took gold ahead of compatriot Kishane Thompson and Noah Lyles.
But Kerr’s defence of his world title ended in tatters in a dramatic men’s 1500m final, which had looked comparatively open after rival Jakob Ingebrigtsen crashed out in the heats after an injury-marred build-up, while Olympic champion Cole Hocker was controversially disqualified in the semi-finals – but went on to win 5000m gold. Kerr never got into a good position and pulled up with an injury partway through the race, hobbling round to the end to finish dead last.
Great Britain nearly had another gold medal however in the form of 2022 world champion Jake Wightman, who came back from what he described as a “very bleak”, injury-hampered couple of years to earn GB’s first medal of the championships, a silver. The Scot led for much of the final lap but was pipped on the line by Portugal’s Isaac Nader by two-hundredths of a second.
Here’s the full rundown of the Tokyo results.
