Champions were crowned and world records were set on Monday in Paris.
The night ended with Sweden's Armand Duplantis, gold medal already secured, feeling the full weight of the crowd as he pursued a pole vault world record. On his third and final jump, he got it and gave Stade de France a reason to explode one more time.
Elsewhere, USA's Valarie Allman defended her discus gold medal with a win in Paris, while Great Britain's Keely Hodgkinson lived up to expectations by winning gold in the women's 800-meter.
Kenya picked up a gold medal with Beatrice Chebet winning the women's 5000-meter, but the nation was denied another medal when Faith Kipyegon was disqualified for obstruction.
Meanwhile, more medal hopefuls spent Monday jockeying for position. The first round of the men's 200-meter was dominated by the U.S., with Noah Lyles qualifying for the semifinals but his teammates Kenneth Bednarek and Erriyon Knighton leading the field with the top two times.
In the women's 200-meter, USA's Gabrielle Thomas and Saint Lucia's Julien Alfred advanced to what could be a thrilling final on Tuesday.
