"VAN" (Sports Desk - 19.09.2025) :: Four years after making history in the hurdles on this track, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone added her name into the record books again, this time by winning the women's 400m at the World Athletics Championships Tokyo 25 in a championship record of 47.78. Her run came just moments after Collen Kebinatshipi achieved a historic first for Botswana in the men’s 400m, becoming his nation’s first ever world champion in a men’s event. Elsewhere on day six of the championships, Keshorn Walcott returned to the top of a global podium to take the men’s javelin title, while Cuba’s Leyanis Perez Hernandez beat defending champion Yulimar Rojas and Olympic champion Thea Lafond to win the women’s triple jump.
