Never mind that there were 50,000 people in the Bird’s Nest Stadium in Beijing, the yell from Poland’s Anita Wlodarczyk could be heard above them all.
And her screams just grew louder as her hammer flew high into the night sky at these IAAF World Championships before landing at an amazing 80.85m.
A few weeks ago she had broken the world record with 81.08m, the first athlete to smash 80m, and now she achieved it twice in the space of a few minutes on her way to regaining a title she won in 2009.
It was her second championship record of the competition, having thrown 80.27m in round three before this even longer distance with her next effort, and she knew from the moment it left her hands that it was something special.
The turn and execution looked flawless and as the hammer dropped, the stadium gasped as she won gold in sensational fashion.
The double European champion had a brilliant series - 74.40m, 78.52m, 80.27m, 80.85m and 79.31m before a final round foul - as China had something to celebrate too with Wenxiu Zhang second (76.33m).
There was more glory for Europe as France’s Alexandra Tavernier took bronze (74.02m) from her first throw and Britain’s Sophie Hitchon had quite a night aswell as she twice broke her national record with throws of 73.65m and 73.86m to finish fourth.
But with her 17th successive victory, the evening belonged to Wlodarczyk - infact the summer has been one she will never forget.
Evora’s bronze finale
Nelson Evora leaped in the air - once he had leaped into third place - and quickly removed his name tag.
Infact, he did not know the best way to celebrate.
This was not surprising because with his final attempt in the triple jump, he had landed back on the podium.
Evora, 31, the European indoor champion from Prague in March, had produced a brilliant 17.52m to win bronze in the stadium where he was crowned Olympic champion back in 2008.
In one of the greatest competitions of all time, American Christian Taylor took gold with the second best jump in history, a stunning 18.21m, just eight centimetres shy of Britain’s Jonathan Edwards’ world record from 1995.
Cuba’s Pedro Pichardo (17.73m) was second and third looked like going to American Omar Craddock (17.37m) before Evora got it just right in the final round.
He had shown no signs of what was in store, having begun with 17.28m before a foul, 17.29m, and then two more fouls, and yet from nothing came one of the best jumps of his career.
Asher-Smith close to a 31-year-old record
Dina Asher-Smith keeps on impressing and the Briton was the quickest in the three 200m semi-finals.
Infact, had she not slowed down just slightly as she neared the finish line as she won (22.12), she might have broken the national record of 22.10 which Kathy Cook ran at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 1984.
That time could go in the final tomorrow in what should be a tremendous race.
Bulgaria’s Ivet Lalova-Collio also ran a personal best (22.32) in third from heat one while the Netherlands’ Dafne Schippers (22.36) won the second heat and could take all the beating.
European 800m champion Maryna Arzamasova, of Belarus, was on personal best form, too, as she reached the final (1:57.54) after finishing second in the third heat, as were the two Europeans who finished first and second respectively to qualify from heat two, Britain’s Shelayna Oskan-Clarke and France’s Renelle Lamote, both timed at 1:58.86.
Bascou beats the world champion
Dimitri Bascou flew from the blocks for a personal best (13.16) as he beat America’s defending champion David Oliver (13.17) in the third semi-final of the 110m hurdles.
Frenchman Bascou looked fluent from the start and after winning silver over 60m hurdles at the European Athletics Indoor Championships in Prague in March, he will be determined to make the podium for the second time this year.
He is joined in the final by his two teammates as Pascal Martinot-Lagarde (13.17), the Prague champion, was third in his heat won by American Aries Merritt (13.08), the world record-holder who has revealed he is having a kidney transplant next week - donated by his sister - but amazingly he is still running.
Garfield Darien (13.25) is the third Frenchman in the final after finishing second behind Russia’s double European champion Sergey Shubenkov who looked impressive (13.09).
Britain’s Zharnel Hughes ran a personal best (20.02) as he finished fifth in the men’s 200m with Türkiye’s Ramil Guliyev (20.11) in sixth as Jamaican Usain Bolt won his fourth successive world title at the distance (19.55).
