Women's two-time world champion Edna Ngeringwony Kiplagat of Kenya settled for silver in 2:27:18 and Amy Cragg of the United States took away the bronze medal with the same time as Kiplagat.

American Sandi Morris won silver in 4.75 and Venezuela's Robeilys Peinado took bronze in 4.65.

Before the night session started, several medal ceremonies were held.

While American Justin Gatlin attended the medal ceremony at the London Stadium, he was booed again quite like Saturday when he grabbed the 100m title from 11-time world champion Usain Bolt.

Gatlin who last won the title at 2005 world championships was overlooked for his surprise win and his celebration was ruined by loud booing from a sell-out 60,000 spectators Saturday while bronze medalist Bolt, in his farewell world championships, received a hero's treatment.
