Along with the World Athletics Championships Oregon22, the season also featured the World Athletics U20 Championships in Cali, the European Championships, the NACAC Championships, the Commonwealth Games, and various other regional and U20 area championships – and this, of course, was on top of the Wanda Diamond League and the Continental Tour circuits.

Here are 22 memorable moments - in no particular order - from another great year of athletics action.

Amusan’s World Record Feat: At first many questioned the timing system. Could someone break the world record by that much in a semifinal? But it soon became apparent that Tobi Amusan’s 12.12 clocking in the 100m hurdles at the World Championships was legitimate, as she went even quicker in the final with a wind-assisted 12.06.
