Olympic 支持する/優勝者 and hot favourite Damian Warner had been 主要な after four events on Saturday but pulled up with a hamstring 傷害 in the 400 metres and had to 身を引く.

In his absence, fellow Canadian LePage ran a personal best to stay の近くに to 夜通し leader Ayden Owens-Delerme and then continued his hot form on Sunday.

LePage, who finished fifth in both 2019 worlds and Tokyo Olympics, started with a 抱擁する PB of 13.78 seconds in the 110 障害物s.

The Canadian then 殺到するd (疑いを)晴らす as he 開始する,打ち上げるd his first 円盤投げ 53.26 metres, a personal best by almost two metres, while Owens-Delerme was more than 10 metres behind to lose 重要な ground.

LePage was 猛烈に の近くに to (疑いを)晴らすing 5:10 metres in the 棒高跳び and having to settle for 5.00m saw his lead 縮む かなり. Mayer, world 支持する/優勝者 in 2017 and twice an Olympic silver medallist, and American Zach Ziemek both (疑いを)晴らすd best-of-the day 5.40 to change the whole picture.

With the javelin and 1,500 to come, LePage was 81 points (疑いを)晴らす of Ziemek, with Mayer five その上の points 支援する.

Mayer, who was sixth 夜通し and did not make the 最高の,を越す three in any of the first seven disciplines, has javelin and 1,500 metre personal bests 意味ありげに better than his two 長,指導者 競争相手s and barring a 災害 should 最高の,を越す the podium later on Sunday.

Ziemek has never really 脅すd to メダル in his two previous World 選手権 and two Olympic 外見s, with a best finish of sixth in Tokyo last year.

The メダルs look to be between the 主要な trio as Owens-Delerme in fourth is almost 200 points 流浪して.
