    Armand Duplantis is the showman by his performances on track. Noah Lyles loves all the razzmatazz outside of the sport as well.

    We've got to allow for the different personalities to thrive in how ever they want to showcase that.

    I think watching Armand Duplantis' performances are mind-blowing to see how he clears those heights but the consistency of how often he does that is credible for not just sports fans, but the general public as well.

    Of course that means Sweden's Armand Duplantis going for his second World Championship title in a row.

    Duplantis is one of the standout stars in track and field as the reigning world and Olympic champion, plus world record holder.

    American Chris Nilsen, the current Olympic and world silver medallist, is also in the final.

    Shankule, whose win in Valencia last year was the third-quickest marathon in history, won in two hours 24 minutes and 23 seconds on the streets of Budapest.

    Gebreslase finished 11 seconds behind to take silver with Morocco's Fatima Ezzahra Gardadi claiming bronze.
