Becca’s picks...

• The World Athletics Championships came to a close in Eugene, Oregon last night as the legendary 22-year-old Mondo Duplantis broke his own world record with a height of 6.21 meters to claim his first world pole vault title! This year’s Worlds was an amazing and historic 10 days all around, with Team USA continuing to impress by winning the most medals by any country in championship history. It was also inspiring to see so many other countries stepping up in the big moments when it mattered most. Until next year!
