Sydney McLaughlin helped deliver America’s record 33rd medal at the 2022 World Athletics Championships on Sunday.
This one was especially sweet, as it also marked the 14th and final world gold for 36-year-old Allyson Felix, who came out of retirement to run in the preliminary of the 4x400 and, so, gets a medal. She finishes her career with a record 20 world medals, overall.
The 33 medals were three more than the U.S. collected in 2017, and two more than East Germany won in 1987. “It's like mania, and you're just kind of going crazy,” Duplantis said of his reaction. “I barely remember the moment.” “I'm just glad I could make it to the line and finish the race,” she said. “And thank God I won gold.”
Another medal went to U.S. pole vaulter Christopher Nilsen, who cleared 5.94 meters , to clinch silver, then stepped aside to see what Duplantis would do.
