‘All the feels’: USA’s Laulauga Tausaga obliterates PB for shock discus gold

• Hawaii-born athlete claims surprise world title
• Valarie Allman had been cruising towards gold medal

Laulauga Tausaga obliterated her personal best by more than four metres to take a stunning world discus gold on Tuesday just as her USA teammate Valarie Allman had been seemingly cruising towards the title.

Tausaga, who finished last in the previous two world finals, came into the showdown with a best of 65.46m but somehow found 69.49 with her fifth throw, before sprinting into the crowd to celebrate with her supporters.
