Nia Ali stunned an impressive field of 100-meter hurdlers to take her first international gold medal in this event. She did it in a personal-best time of 12.34 seconds and with her two (adorable) children, Yuri and Titus, watching from the stands. Balancing life as a mother and a professional hurdler has made things busy for Nia; over the past few months, she traveled back and forth from her European training base in Germany to Jacksonville, FL, for her son's parent-teacher conferences. It all came together as Nia upset the field and took gold on Oct. 6. Andre De Grasse, Nia's partner and the father of her daughter Yuri, also came away with some hardware: a silver in the 200-meter and a bronze in the 100-meter!
