    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Decathletes Pierce LePage and Damian Warner finished 1-2 on Saturday, the former with a personal-best 8,909 points to become the first Canadian to win world championship gold in the event.

    LePage grabbed a silver medal at worlds last summer behind Frenchman Kevin Mayer, who withdrew on Friday in Budapest after completing the 100 metres and long jump.

    Kenya’s Emmanuel Wanyonyi, the former under-20 world champion who was fastest in heats and set the pace in the semifinals, was second in 1:44.53, followed by Ben Pattison of Great Britain (1:44.83).

    In last year’s world final, Arop took the lead with about 300m to the finish but was later passed by Kenya’s Emmanuel Korir and Djamel Sedjati of Algeria in the closing metres.

    Shankule powered through the city streets of Budapest to finish in two hours 24 minutes 23 seconds to edge defending champion and teammate Gotytom Gebreslase.

    Noah Lyles and Sha’Carri Richardson anchored their 4x100 teams to victories, giving the United States its first sweep of the short relays at world championships since 2007 and a boost of confidence heading into next year’s Olympics.
