World Athletics U20 Championships 2022 day 5 schedule, medal table, timings more

The 19th edition of the World Athletics U20 Championships 2022 is underway at the Pascual Guerrero Olympic Stadium in Santiago de Cali, Colombia. As the championship enters Day 5 on Friday, August 5, the medal table has begun to take shape.

At the end of Day 4, the United States topped the medal tally followed by Kenya and South Africa.

On Day 4, the World Athletics U20 Championships featured a series of favorites, including men’s and women’s pole vault, women’s 400m hurdles, men’s 200m etc. Both men’s and women’s 400m also took place on Day 4 of the six-day championship. Thursday's highlight was the men’s 200m clash where Israel’s Blessing Akawasi Afrifah and Botswana’s Letsile Tebogo pushed each other to their limits.

Letsile Tebogo, who appeared at the event as the favorite having won the men’s 100m with a world U20 record, was caught off-guard by Afrifah. In a thrilling finish, both Afrifah and Tebogo clocked a time of 19.96, however the 18-year-old Afrifah won the gold medal with a time difference of just six thousandths of a second.

South Africa’s Lythe Pillay took gold in men’s 400m while USA’s Akala Garrett won the women’s 400m hurdles final.
