THE World Athletics Championships are over for another two years with the best in the world fighting tooth and nail for gold.
But for BBC viewers, there was one major winner: Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill.
The Olympic champion, 37, jetted out to Budapest, Hungary as part of the Beeb's coverage of the eight-day athletics extravaganza.
Ennis-Hill is a three-time world champion heptathlete herself, so is more than qualified to run the rule over the event.
But more often than not it was her behind-the-scenes antics that left fans in awe.
As well as tuning into the BBC's coverage, Ennis-Hill posted daily photo updates for her 409,000 Instagram followers.

The end of the week led to a scare for Ennis-Hill – decked out in a black-and-white top and white trousers.
The championships' mascot – Youhuu the racka sheep – dangled a fake, yet enormous, spider over her and Denise Lewis' heads.
Ennis-Hill clutched her chest and tried to stay clam until the black arachnid – complete with bright green and red blotches – had disappeared.
She captioned the upload: "Day 7… Fun & Games in the studio with the mascot Youhuu.
"I’m literally terrified of spiders."
In the evening, Ennis-Hill sported a flowing, dark pink maxi dress – leaving fans' jaws on the floor.
