Gustav Iden wins Ironman Kona World Championship in course record

Gustav Iden won the Ironman Kona World Championship in a course record time. He is the second Norwegian to win the men's world title and the first to do so in Kuna. The 2021 edition was postponed to St. George, Utah and moved to this past May.

Lashinda Demus has been upgraded from 2012 Olympic 400m hurdles runner-up to champion by World Athletics. The original winner Natalya Antyukh of Russia did not appeal her recent retroactive disqualification for doping. Antysh was already serving a four-year doping ban. Demu is the first U.S. woman to win an Olympic gold medal in the 400 m hurdles. Russia won eight track and field gold medals at the 2012 Olympics. Now it's down to one. Anna Chicherova was stripped of her 2008 Olympic bronze medal for dope.
