Jeremiah Azu's stunning victory in Nanjing marks a pivotal moment in his career as he establishes himself as a significant force in athletics.
I was emotional before the final... the last two years have been very difficult for me... it's important to surround yourself with people who believe in you.
This is just the start. The plan is to keep on winning. The sky is the limit.
In a final where there appeared to be no clear favourite, Azu delivered when it mattered most.
