Triple Jump (women) WORLD RECORD by Venezuela's Yulimar Rojas - 15.67m (51' 5"), DESTROYING the previous record of 15.50m (50' 10") by Ukraine's Inessa Kravets from the 1995 World Championships. 2nd - 15.01m Patricia Momona (POR), 3rd - 14.87m Ana Peleteiro (ESP). American Keturah Orji 7th with 14.59m.
100m (men) - 1st - 9.80 Lamont Marell Jacobs (ITA), 2nd - 9.84 PB Fred Kerley (USA), 3rd - 9.89 Andre de Grasse (CAN)
High Jump (men) - 1st (TIE) - 2.37m (7' 9 1/4") - Mutaz Essa Barshim (QAT) & Gianmarco Tamberi (ITA), 3rd - 2.37m Maksim Nedasekau (BLR). American JuVaughn Harrison 7th with 2.33m (7' 7 3/4").
Clayton Murphy through to the FINAL of the men's 800m.
In the men's HJ, both athletes were asked about the jump-off. Barshim asked the official if they could share the gold. He was told yes, so he asked Tamberi, and they both agreed not to continue. Great sportsmanship, and wise decision given both have come back from devastating injuries and aren't interested in doing so again so late in their careers by continuing while tired.
