Conversations with Larry: Tokyo 2025 World Athletics Championships Reviews, September 13-21, 2025, Days 1-9

Editor’s note: This is the home for our reviews of the 2025 World Athletics Outdoor Championships, which were held in Tokyo, Japan, at the historic Tokyo Olympic Stadium. 

The Tokyo World Championships were a huge success, not only for the athletic performances but also for turnout and appreciation for the championships. It was the first major world championships held in Japan since COVID-19. Many Japanese felt that the games and the excitement of hosting the world were stolen from them during the 2020 postponed Tokyo Olympics. 

We reposted this landing page as we had so many requests to see the coverage.
