Lima, Day 4: Six days ago she couldn’t walk – now Bergros is Iceland’s first ever World Championships medallist

Kazakhstan had two winners, Syria had to settle for one, Venezuela moved to the top of the medals table and 14-year-old Sara dal Bo became Italy’s first female youth world champion.

Arguably the best performance of the penultimate day of the World Youth Championships in Lima, Peru, however – and possibly of the week – was by 17-year-old Bergros Bjornsdottir.

Six days ago she could not walk after spraining her ankle in a CrossFit competition. She arrived in Lima this week on crutches.
