After 12 days in Budapest, Jonathan Gault shares his final reflections from a terrific 2023 World Athletics Championships and includes 4 simple rule changes that should be made before Tokyo 2025. Plus who are his Budapest MVPs?

Ingebrigtsen said he was still not fully recovered from the illness that plagued him earlier in the meet but had enough to outkick Spain's Mo Katir for gold by .14.

After Mu took the race out in 56.01, Moraa hung onto her most of the way until pulling away midway down the home straight to win in 1:56.03.

Kipyegon closed in an absurd 56.59 for her final 400 to join Bernard Lagat (2007) as the only athletes to pull off the double at Worlds.

Jackson set a championship record of 21.41 (#2 all-time) while Lyles ran 19.52 to complete the 100/200 double.

Danielle Williams stunned the women's 100 hurdles field and Antonio Watson won the 400 in a golden 30 minutes for Jamaica.

For the second year in a row, a runner from Edinburgh AC upset Jakob Ingebrigtsen in the world final as Kerr replicated Jake Wightman's race from a year ago to take gold.

Mu won her 800 heat in 1:59.59 while Sha'Carri Richardson led all 200m qualifiers in 22.16.

Richardson went from bombing out of USAs in the first round in 2022 to world champion in a championship record of 10.65 one year later.

Grant Holloway won his third straight world championship 110m hurdles title, as Hansle Parchment got the silver and Daniel Roberts got the bronze.

The 200 specialist Lyles is now a 100-meter world champion and halfway to becoming the first man to win the 100/200 at Worlds since Bolt in 2015.

Noah Lyles did it. He ran a 9.83 to comfortably take home the 100m title.

Sifan Hassan was 30 meters from gold but went down after contact with Tsegay in the home straight.

All three Americans advanced in the women's 1500 while 2/3 made it in the men's steeple (Benard Keter was eliminated).

Mu is in Budapest and it looks like she will run Worlds, while Fred Kerley and Noah Lyles are feeling confident ahead of the 100 meters.

D'Amato was 8th last year as a last-minute replacement and is coming off a 66:39 AR in the half on July 1.

We share our 5 biggest storylines of the 2023 World Athletics Championships which start Saturday in Budapest and should be amazing. Sha'Carri Richardson's quest for gold, Noah Lyles quest for the WR, and Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Faith Kipyegon quest for doubles all make the list.

Ingebrigtsen has been magnificent in 2023 but history says it is very hard to win a global 1500 title from the front. Plus can Yared Nuguse earn the US's first medal since Centro in Rio?
