Jefferson-Wooden posted a blazing 10.61 seconds – a championship record and the fourth fastest ever by a woman – while Seville clinched the men's title in 9.77, well ahead of favorites and past champions. France’s Jimmy Gressier stunned onlookers with a dramatic final-lap surge to win the men’s 10,000m, adding depth to a weekend packed with surprise finishes. On the field side, U.S. athletes shined too – Tara Davis-Woodhall won the women’s long jump with 7.13m, and Valarie Allman took gold in the discus. As semifinals and heats wrap up, contenders like Jacory Patterson and Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone are making headlines for bold performances in their respective events. With eyes on the final medal rounds, the U.S. team looks poised to challenge for more top podiums.
