There have already been many surprise medallists at the World Athletics Championships Tokyo 25, but Ecuador’s Juleisy Angulo produced arguably the biggest shock of the championships so far by winning the women’s javelin.
The 24-year-old produced a national record of 65.12m to take victory. She was the only athlete to throw beyond 65 metres, but Latvia’s Anete Sietina came close in the final round with a PB of 64.64m to take silver.
Australia’s Mackenzie Little earned bronze with her first-round throw of 63.58m.
