The seventh day of the World Athletics Championships 2025 concluded on Friday, September 19. The day saw the USA's Rai Benjamin clinch his first world title in the 400m hurdles event.

He clocked a time of 46.52 seconds to beat defending champion Karsten Warholm in the race, who eventually finished in fifth position. Noah Lyles produced a staggering performance in the 200m finals and clocked 19.52 seconds to bag his fourth 200m World title of his career.

This tied Lyles with the veteran Usain Bolt for having four 200m world titles. Lyles' rival, Kenny Bednarek, finished second in 19.58 seconds, while Jamaica's Bryan Levell finished third in 19.64 seconds in the 200m event of the World Athletics Championships 2025.

The women's 200m saw Melissa Jefferson-Wooden do a 100m-200m double and became the first woman in 12 years achieve so. She clocked a world-leading time of 21.68 seconds to beat defending champion Shericka Jackson.

Femke Bol successfully defended her 400m hurdles title in Tokyo on Friday. She clocked a world-leading run time of 51.54 seconds in the race to keep the likes of USA's Jasmine Jones and Slovakia's Emma Zapletalova at bay.
