By now it’s habitual, but that shouldn’t diminish the scale of what Kate O’Connor is achieving.
Only two Irish athletes, Sonia O'Sullivan and Catherina McKiernan, have now won more individual global medals at senior championships.
Piece from Torun:

“The only thing left for me was death.”
Almost 10 years ago, Luvo Manyonga conquered the athletics world. But he was addicted to crystal meth, and his life sank into crime and drugs.
Now, after a brutal beating nearly killed him, he’s back at the top.

That is an absolutely astonishing performance by Cian McPhillips - 1:42.15. Did not get the reward he probably deserved.
It took three Olympic medallists to beat him.
Lifetime bests in 5 of 7 events.
A national record by 227 points.
First ever outdoor multis medal for Ireland.
First Irish medal at World Champs for 12 years.
First World Champs track and field medal for Ireland in 30 years.
Kate O'Connor, take a bow.
Jimmy Gressier
-Had never finished higher than 9th in four previous global finals
-First man born outside of Africa to win global 10k title since 1984
-28:55.77 is slowest winning time ever in a Worlds 10k final (by 54 seconds!). Slowest in any global final since Mexico City 1968
This is the perfect example as to why federations should take rankings!
A PB of 2.27 and the last ranking spot. Had she not switched nationality from GB to Uruguay earlier this year - she'd be watching these champs on TV...
Instead, she comes away with a WORLD MEDAL!!
Completely agree.
Being injured is never fun, but I can’t imagine what it’s like when people are questioning you.
Regardless of who you are no one has a right to know your personal health info. Sending recovery wishes Rhasidats way, it couldn’t have been an easy decision⭐️

Maybe the best thing any of us can do now is to take Rhasidat Adeleke at her word, give her time and space to get better, and not kick an athlete when she’s down.
