Jessica Schilder of the Netherlands produced a last-throw stunner to win the women’s world shot put gold on Saturday, denying the American Chase Jackson a third successive title.
Schilder, the 2022 bronze medallist, was down in fifth with a best of 19.51 metres but found 20.29 with her final attempt. Jackson was also below her best but responded with her own big last effort, falling just short with 20.21 but enough for silver..
Maddison-Lee Wesche of New Zealand took bronze with her personal best first-round throw of 20.06, which for most of the night looked to be enough to earn gold.
“It’s amazing. I can’t even describe the feeling,” Schilder said. “You know you’ve got it in you … I’m really happy with myself.” (Reuters)
“Physically and mentally this year has been exhausting,” Johnson-Thompson continues. “Getting yourself up for it year in, year out. Physically I can be putting out times I’ve never done before, but mentally it’s hard to get yourself up for the fight again, because you know how hard it is.
“Give me a month off I’ll be texting – ‘When’s training starting again?’.
Is this the last we will see of her in this kind of competition?
“I don’t know!’ she says, laughing. “You caught me at a bad moment.”
Heptathlete Johnson-Thompson speaks to the BBC after securing a bronze medal: “I actually don’t have any words. I’m just in disbelief. The season’s been so difficult … I’ve done this so many times and it doesn’t get any easier.
“I think I had the least confidence coming into this. I don’t even think this is the hardest-fought medal I’ve got, but honestly, it really does mean the world to me.
“I’ve been through it at the stadium … the minute I stepped into the stadium I started sobbing … it holds so much emotion [from Olympic disappointment in 2021]. To finish here and leave with a medal, I can’t put it into words, it’s a full-circle moment I’ve just been through.
“Going back to 2021, the Covid games, my mum was so far away, just texting. To know she’s just in the stadium, and I can share that moment with her and celebrate on the victory lap, it just creates memories that are going to last a lifetime. This is exactly why I do it, to have moments like that with my mum.”

Houlihan and Andrews of the USA are setting the pace after 3,000m of the women’s 5,000m final.
Now Agnes Jebet Ngetich (Kenya) moves second.
The commentator offers of another Kenyan: “I can’t see Faith Kipyegon being beaten from here.”
Katarina Johnson-Thompson clinched a shared bronze medal at the World Championships after finishing the heptathlon level with the American Taliyah Brooks.
The defending world champion from Liverpool needed to beat Brooks in the 800m, the final event, by about six seconds to claim bronze, and crossed the finish second in 2min 07.38sec.
Brooks finished ninth in 2min 13.17sec, meaning they were level in the overall scoring with 6581pts each. They faced a nervy wait on the track until it was determined the medal would be shared.
Anna Hall of the USA was crowned champion with 6888pts and there was a historic silver for Ireland’s Kate O’Connor, who set a national record of 6714pts. It was Ireland’s first outdoor senior multi-event medal, and the country’s first World Championship medal in 12 years. (PA Media)
The women’s 5,000m final is up next.
“What a phenomenal performance,” the BBC pundit Jessica Ennis-Hill says of Anna Hall’s dominant overall win. “Coming to the champs, where we’ve seen her crumble before, whether it be through injury or things not going her way – she came here, she delivered and she took the title.”
I’m sure we’ll have some reaction from Johnson-Thompson coming up …
That was a gritty run on the final straight in the 800m to distance Brooks just enough for a medal.
Heptathlon bronze for Johnson-Thompson!
Amazing. Johnson-Thompson and Taliyah Brooks finish on equal points, 6581, after a 5.9sec win over her closest rival for the GB athlete in the 800m.
Johnson-Thompson doesn’t know is she’s won a medal or not. But she has!
1) Hall (USA) 6888pts
2) O’Connor (Ire) 6714pts
3) Brooks (USA) 6581pts
4) Johnson-Thompson (GB & NI) 6581pts
5) Sprengel (Ger) 6435pts
Heptathlon silver for Ireland’s Kate O’Connor
A wonderful performance in the women’s heptathlon from the Irish athlete, who particularly excelled in the javelin earlier today. Anna Hall wins gold but we knew that – a dominant display.
Second for Johnson-Thompson in the 800m … it’s very close between her and Brooks for the bronze.
O’Connor has some blue tape on her right knee. She is in silver medal position.
A gold medal for Anna Hall of the USA looks guaranteed.
Away they go!
“RTÉ reporting Kate O’Connor has a knee injury,” emails Conor. “Analysts questioning if she can get around twice.”
A reminder that Katarina Johnson-Thompson needs a thumping performance in the 800m to win a medal in the women’s heptathlon.
We are just a couple of minutes away from the concluding event.

“I want to put my hand up and say sorry to the boys,” Eugene Amo-Dadzie of GB and NI tells the BBC, after the botched changeover in the heat of the men’s 4x100m that cost them a place in the final. “We were looking good, feeling good, and definitely had an opportunity to do something here.
“Sport can be cruel like that sometimes. My main disappointment is not being able to do my job … Obviously in the team aspect it has a knock-on effect. If you mess up in an individual that’s on you, you mess up in a relay situation, it impacts the team. I’m apologising to the coaches and my boys here …
“I can put my hand up and say, you know what? I didn’t do my job well enough today. It’s really frustrating. Particularly because I was here for the relay and I was feeling really good …
“I’m going to shoulder that. It’s tough, it hurts. I don’t really know how to feel right now. Those are my thoughts.”
Seriously impressive honesty from Amo-Dadzie.

“I’ll be totally honest,” Greg Rutherford says on the BBC, of the British women’s last place in their 4x400m heat.
“I’m all for building everybody up and giving them a fair chance … That’s not good enough. We have to put that into perspective … a lot of money is put into that programme … you can’t be coming last in your heat at a world championships … genuinely, I don’t think it’s good enough.”
Australia and Brazil are disqualified from the men’s 4x400m for illegal changeovers.
