BASC members voted Amy Hunt's silver medal performance in the 200m as their most memorable moment of the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo. Amy's stunning home straight took her to a time of 22.14s, fulfilling the promise of her junior performances. The BASC committee selected Elise Thorner as the breakthrough athlete of the championships.
The following athletes were also shortlisted for the memorable moment award. Jake Wightman completed a comeback from a series of injuries since his gold in Eugene to take silver in a highly competitive 1500m in a time of 3:34.12 narrowly beaten for gold. After a difficult year, Katarina Johnson-Thompson dramatically claimed a share of bronze in the heptathlon finishing level with Taliyah Brook on 6581 points. Georgia Hunter-Bell and Keely Hodgkinson were pipped on the line by Kenya’s Odira who broke the Championship 800m record. Georgia ran a PB of 1:54.90 to take silver, and Keely after an injury-hit season took bronze in 1:54.91 well ahead of the rest of the field.
