EMERGENCY PODCAST. We recap Day 7 of the World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Oregon. We had to rush back to the house after Team USA swept the men's 200m with Noah Lyles breaking the American record in 19.31 with Kenny Bednarek and Erriyon Knighton taking silver and bronze medals. On the women's side, Shericka Jackson dropped a stunner in 21.45 to lead Jamaica's 1-2 with Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce.
