The World Athletics Championships 2025 are nearing their conclusion, and Team USA remains firmly in the lead of the medal tally. As of the penultimate day, the United States has secured 20 medals—12 gold, 4 silver and 4 bronze. Kenya follows closely with 10 medals (6 gold, 2 silver, 2 bronze), while Canada has moved into third place with four medals.
The American team continued to impress, adding three more medals to its total. Anna Hall made history by becoming the first American woman to win the heptathlon at the World Championships since Jackie Joyner‑Kersee in 1993, posting 6,888 points. Taliyah Brooks earned bronze in the same event with 6,581 points, and Chase Jackson contributed a silver medal. Other U.S. gold medalists this year include Melissa Jefferson‑Wooden, Noah Lyles and Sydney McLaughlin‑Levrone. McLaughlin‑Levrone captured her first global title in the 400 m flat, finishing in 47.78 seconds.
Kenyan athletes also performed exceptionally well. Emmanuel Wanyonyi won the men’s 800 m gold in a championship‑record time, and Beatrice Chebet outsprinted compatriot Faith Kipyegon to claim gold in the women’s 5,000 m with a time of 14:54.36. Canada’s Marco Arop, the defending champion and Olympic silver medalist, took bronze in the men’s 800 m.
The United States has already matched its gold‑medal count from the 2023 World Athletics Championships and is well positioned to finish atop the medal table. The final day of competition, featuring the remaining relay events, is set for tomorrow. The U.S. will look to consolidate its dominance after topping both the men’s and women’s 4×100 m relays last year. The current medal standings stand at 20 for the United States, 10 for Kenya and 4 for Canada, with several other nations also on the podium. The championships have showcased exceptional athletic performances, and the final day promises to be highly competitive.
