2022 World Athletics Championships in Eugene: The visual highlights

... one would like to shout to Iryna Klymet of Ukraine during this attempt during hammer throw qualifying. With a distance of 68.12 meters, she only made 11th place in her qualification group and thus missed out on a place in the final.

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce has been associated with these words for years. And the 2008 and 2012 Olympic champion is living up to her reputation in Eugene, too - both athletically and fashionably! With a time of 10.67 seconds, the Jamaican sprinter became world champion in the 100 meters for the fifth time.

That's probably what Mateus de Sa of Brazil would most like to do after his 16.04-meter jump only made 11th place in the triple jump qualification. Better luck next time.

Rarely do you see power and technique combined as beautifully as here with Samantha Hall from Jamaica. With a distance of 56.99 meters, however, this discus throw wasn't enough to make the final.

Yaroslava Mahuchikh from Ukraine shows with her eyes where she wants to go: all the way to the top. This time, however, it wasn't quite enough for the current world indoor champion. With a jump of 2.02 meters she reached the same height as her opponent Eleanor Patterson from Australia, but she needed one more attempt and finished second.

Italian high jumper Elena Vallortigara certainly looks like she's digging as deep as possible here, and it paid off. With a successful jump over 2.00 meters, she only missed her personal best by two centimeters as she won bronze.

This is why we are so grateful to photojournalists, providing us with unique perspectives of unique events. Like here during the men's 3000-meter hurdles final, which was won by Morocco's Soufiane El Bakkali in 8:25.13 minutes.

Even though the distance of 20.81 meters was only enough for ninth place in the shot put final, this picture gives an idea of the power and dynamism in the body of Italy's Nick Ponzio. You wouldn't want to be standing in the firing line when he opens fire.

Full concentration on the face of Jucilene Sales De Lima of Brazil. Unfortunately, the distance does not quite match up: only 57.13 meters and thus ninth place in the women's javelin qualification.

Next to the gold of the glasses, even the gold medal pales a little. Olympic champion Mutaz Essa Barshim from Qatar takes his third world title in the high jump with 2.37 meters.

Reaching a height of 4.85 meters, the Olympic pole vault champion Katie Nageotte of the USA also wins the world championship title in her own country. Even the official mascot is thrilled.
