Overview
- Mattia Furlani secured the world title with a fifth‑attempt 8.39 metres, a personal best that edged Tajay Gayle (8.34) and Shi Yuhao (8.33).
- The victory delivered Italy’s first gold of these World Championships after two silvers and two bronzes collected earlier in Tokyo.
- Triple jump qualifiers Andy Diaz and Andrea Dallavalle advanced to the final to keep further medal hopes alive.
- Filippo Tortu (20.49) and Fausto Desalu (20.43) exited in the 200‑metre heats, with Tortu’s muscle issue leaving 4x100m relay selection a continuing consideration.
- Roberta Bruni finished outside the medals in the pole vault, and Federico Riva contested the men’s 1500‑metre final later in the session.
