Nine days, countless records, and stories that will live far beyond the Japan National Stadium. The World Athletics Championships 2025 gave us everything: triumphs, shocks, farewells, and new names ready to carry the sport forward.
From Mondo Duplantis raising the pole vault world record yet again, to Collen Kebinatshipi anchoring Botswana to a stunning 4x400m gold, Tokyo was a stage where legends were cemented and history rewritten. Melissa Jefferson-Wooden’s sprint treble will be remembered as the dawn of a new sprinting era, while Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce’s final World Championships medal was a fitting close to one of the greatest careers in track and field.
Rain on the final day only added to the drama, as athletes like Nicola Olyslagers, Daniel Stahl, and Lilian Odira delivered performances that cut through the storm.
This gallery captures the best of it all, the competition, the crowds, and the moments that defined Tokyo 2025. Swipe through and relive the championships that kept the world watching.
