2019 U23 World Championships - women’s highlights

It was across a blistering first three laps of the 10km run at the 2019 U23 World Championships that Emilie Morier was able to write the records in Lausanne, digging into her reserves to summon an almighty effort for the gold. Pulling away from the likes of Olivia Mathias (GBR) and Kira Hedgeland (AUS) straight out of T2, the French star never looked back, only tiring over the final kilometre, by which time the title was already hers.
