2024 World Athletics U20 Championships

Before Halvorsen's victory, no non-African-born man had ever won a flat distance race at World U20s. After Spain's Jon Azkueta won gold in the 2k steeple in the first World Jrs in 1986, an African-born man had won 73 straight men's distance events.

*MB: Norway has a new phenom? Andreas Fjeld Halvorsen accomplishes something Jakob Ingebrigtsen never did - Wins World Jr Gold.

Australia has one of its best U20 teams ever with 800m Olympians Peyton Craig and Claudia Hollingsworth and 1500 phenom Cameron Myers.
