Stunning performance from the American in her first-ever global final. She had to take lane nine but it proved more than just fine for her as she accelerated brilliantly in the second half of the race to overtake defending world champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Shericka Jackson of Jamaica.

Here’s how the nine finalists will lineup according to the lanes alloted to them (from 1 to 9)

Ewa Swoboda (Poland)

Shericka Jackson (Jamaica)

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce (Jamaica)

Julien Alfred (Saint Lucia)

Marie-Josee Ta Lou (Ivory Coast)

Tamari Davis (USA)

Will Holloway do the three-peat? Or will Parchment spoil his dream? Nobody can stop Grant Holloway today!!!!

USA’s Grant Holloway wins his third straight world title with a timing of 12.96s. Olympic champion Hansle Parchment of Jamaica finishes second while Daniel Roberts, another American takes the bronze.

Final result:

Grant Holloway (USA) - 12.96s (Season Best)

Hansle Parchment (Jamaica) - 13.07s (Season Best)

Daniel Roberts (USA) - 13.09s

Freddie Crittenden (USA) - 13.16s (Season Best)

Sasha Zhoya (France) - 13.26s

Jason Joseph (Switzerland) - 13.28s

Wilhem Belocian (France) - 13.32s

The final three will remain the final three as nobody else is able to overtake them in the final round. And so, here it begins. Alekna, in third spot, throws 68.07m, which is not better than his best effort of 68.85m from tonight. He will take the bronze.

Reigning world champion Ceh, trailing in second, in position for his last attempt. AND HE THROWS 70.02m TO GO PAST STAHL!!!!! Kristjan Ceh is back in the gold medal position.

Not for long though as DANIEL STAHL WINS THE GOLD MEDAL IN MEN’S DISCUS THROW WITH A CHAMPIONSHIP RECORD OF 71.46m!!!!

Final result (Top eight):

Daniel Stahl (Sweden) - 71.46m (Championship Record)

Kristjan Ceh (Slovenia) - 70.02m

Mykolas Alekna (Lithuania) - 68.85m

Matthew Denny (Australia) - 68.24m (National Record)

Fedrick Dacres (Jamaica) - 66.72m

Andrius Gudzius (Lithuania) - 66.16m

Lukas Weisshaidinger (Austria) - 65.54m

Henrik Janssen (Germany) - 63.80m

Well, cometh the hour cometh the man. Daniel Stahl, the reigning Olympic champion and the gold medallist at Doha 2019, has gone past Kristjan Ceh with a throw of 69.37m in his fourth attempt. Ceh is in second place with 69.27m while Alekna is third with 68.85m. The top three remain the same after the fifth and penultimate round.

What a day for Burkina Faso as Hugues Fabrice Zango is guaranteed to be the world champion before his final jump! Martinez registers only 16.83m in his final attempt while Napoles fouls.

Zango too fouls in his final jump but it does not matter. Bronze at Doha 2019, Silver at Eugene 2022 and now, it is gold medal for the man from Burkina Faso at Budapest 2023!

Final result (Top eight)

Hugues Fabrice Zango (Burkina Faso) - 17.64m

Lazaro Martinez (Cuba) - 17.41m

Cristian Napoles (Cuba) - 17.40m (Personal Best)

Yaming Zhu (China) - 17.15m

Yasser Mohammed Triki (Algeria) - 17.01m

Yaoqing Fang (China) - 17.01m

Will Claye (USA) - 16.99m (Season Best)

Emmanuel Ihemeje (Italy) - 16.91m

After re-evaluation, Poland’s Ewa Swoboda has been included in the list of the finalists and so, nine women will compete tonight for the gold medal.

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce (Jamaica)

Shericka Jackson (Jamaica)

Sha’Carri Richardson (USA)

Marie-Josee Ta Lou (Ivory Coast)

Tamari Davis (USA)

Brittany Brown (USA)

Julien Alfred (Saint Lucia)

Dina Asher-Smith (Great Britain)

Ewa Swoboda (Poland)

The top three are confirmed - Zango, Martinez and Napoles. However, all three of them have one final attempt. Can either of the two Cubans pull off a miracle here to snatch the gold medal away from Zango?

After three attempts, Slovenia’s Kristjan Ceh is in the lead with 69.27m. Lithuania’s Mykolas Alekna is second with 67.08m while Jamaica’s Fedrick Dacres is in the bronze medal position with 66.72m.

Zango is back in the lead with a massive effort of 17.64m to overtake the Cuban duo of Lazaro Martinez (17.41m) and Cristian Napoles (17.40m). Martinez fouls in his penultimate attempt.

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce (Jamaica)

Shericka Jackson (Jamaica)

Sha’Carri Richardson (USA)

Marie-Josee Ta Lou (Ivory Coast)

Tamari Davis (USA)

Brittany Brown (USA)

Julien Alfred (Saint Lucia)

Dina Asher-Smith (Great Britain)

How fast is this semifinal going to be?

Oh my word! There has been a false start. And the culprit is Saint Lucia’s Julien Alfred. She was disqualified for the same offense at the same stage last year in Eugene but this time, she receives just a yellow card and lives to fight another day.

And what a turnaround! Alfred wins the semifinal with 10.92s. USA’s Brittany Brown is second with 10.97s

Great Britain’s Dina Asher-Smith, third with 11.01s, is tied with Swoboda for the final non-automatic qualifying place. The organisers will have to measure it down to the very thousandth of a second to separate the two as Sha’Carri Richardson (10.84s) is safely through as the fastest loser. Verdict is out - Asher-Smith beats Swoboda to the final non-automatic qualifying spot by a whisker.

Like her compatriot Fraser-Pryce, Shericka Jackson too starts a bit slowly before taking the lead and winning with 10.79s. Actually, she is joint-first with Marie-Josee Ta Lou of Ivory Coast who has the exact same time. USA’s Sha’Carri Richardson, one of the title favourites, is third with 10.84s and as it stands, is the fastest loser with Poland’s Ewa Swoboda (11.01s) behind her as the second fastest loser.

After three attempts, Martinez of Cuba is still in the lead with 17.41m. Zango second with 17.37m and Zhu third with 17.12m. Hibbert still with no jump.

A slow start from the five-time world champion Fraser-Pryce but she finds her stride quickly to finish first with a timing of 10.89s. Tamari Davis of USA is second with 10.98s.

Ewa Swoboda of Poland is third with 11.01s and Daryll Neita of Great Britain is fourth with 11.03s. Both of these athletes will have to wait and see if they can qualify as the fastest losers.

Jamaican teenager Jaydon Hibbert received some treatment and decided to pass his second attempt. Meanwhile, Cuba’s Lazaro Martinez has overtaken Zango at the top with his second jump of 17.41m. There has been a change in the third spot too as China’s Yaming Zhu goes past his compatriot Yaoqing Fang with 17.12m.

Solid stuff from reigning world champion Holloway to race away to victory with a timing of 13.02s. Frenchman Sasha Zhoya, with 13.15s, finishes second. Disappointment for Holloway’s compatriot, Cordell Tinch, who clocks only 13.31s

Japan’s Shunsuke Izumaya is through to the final with a timing of 13.16s. USA’s Daniel Roberts (13.19s) takes the other automatic qualification spot from the first semifinal.

After one attempt, Burkina Faso’s Hugues Fabrice Zango leads with a jump of 17.37m. Yasser Mohammed Triki of Algeria is second with 16.96 while China’s Yaoqing Fang is third with 16.89m. Jamaican teenager Jaydon Hibbert fouled his opening jump and left holding his hamstring.

We will have the three Olympic medallists from Tokyo in the men’s 400m hurdles final in Budapest.

Warholm wins the third semifinal with a 47.09s timing. Jamaica’s Roshawn Clarke finishes second with 47.34s.

Joshua Abuaku (Germany)

Third and final semifinal of the men’s 400m hurdles. Olympic champion and world record holder Karsten Warholm of Norway will feature in this.

Olympic silver medallist Rai Benjamin and defending champion Alison Dos Santos in action now.

Rai Benjamin with a great start but Alison Dos Santos finds his rhythm and takes the lead at the halfway mark. However, in the home straight, Benjamin (47.24s) is back in front and Dos Santos (47.38s) finishes second. Both are through to the final.

Kyron McMaster (British Virgin Islands) wins it with 47.72s but CJ Allen, one of the favourites, fails to finish in the top two as he is overtaken by Rasmus Magi (48.30s) of Estonia in the last stages. Allen will have to wait and see if he can qualify as one of the two fastest losers.

The top two in each of the three semifinals automatically qualify for the final plus the two fastest losers overall.

Italy’s Mario Lambrughi has been disqualified for a false start in the opening heat.

Viktoriya Tkachuk (Ukraine) - 55.05s, Hanne Claes (Belgium) - 55.13s and Line Kloster (Norway) - 55.23s take the other three automatics qualification spots.
