Just four years ago, the National Stadium in Tokyo hosted the greatest show on earth.
It was at that Olympic Games that Keely Hodgkinson roared into the spotlight with 800m silver, with the likes of Josh Kerr, Laura Muir, Holly Bradshaw and the women's 4x100m relay team all gracing the podium.
Cut to September 2025 and Tokyo is back and better than ever.
British stars are set to shine at the upcoming World Athletics Championships, with more than a couple of medal hopes on the cards in Japan.
From the 13-21 September, the best athletes from around the world will come together and compete for the ultimate athletics titles.
Here's all you need to know.
Last time out
Great Britain finished seventh on the medal table at Budapest 2023, with a total of 10 medals.
That included glittering golds for Josh Kerr (men's 1500m) and Katarina Johnson-Thompson (women's heptathlon), both of which will make their return to the world stage this week.
Relays soared, with mixed 4x400m silver and bronze in the men's and women's 4x400m and women's 4x100m.

Ones to watch
Injury has failed to stop Keely Hodgkinson's incredible form continuing as she has returned to the track.
Since winning Olympic gold last summer, Hodgkinson has only run twice due to back and hamstring injuries, setting new meeting records and a world lead at the Diamond League events she graced.
It bodes well going into a championships which could see her clinch her maiden 800m world title, but she must first fend off the mounting pressure.
Victory would cement her as Olympic, world, European and Commonwealth champion and add just another achievement to her belt.
Matt Hudson-Smith will be hoping to rid himself of a silver and bronze curse in Tokyo.
The 400m runner was favourite to win the one lap event at Paris 2024 last summer but was denied by a flying Quincy Hall in the final moments.
Hudson-Smith has already noted how Tokyo will be about more than just medals for him. Instead hoping to clinch gold as a present for his newborn daughter back at home.
It's sure to be a strong motivator for the dad who has had a consistent season so far.
Lightning quick and only getting faster, Amy Hunt is ready to make her mark in Tokyo.
The 100m sprinter has been a force to be reckoned with this season on an individual level, whilst also a key part to the 4x100m relays squad.
Hitting personal bests over 100m and 200m this season, as well as taking the women's 100m title at the UK Championships, Hunt goes into Tokyo on top form.
After winning Olympic silver in the relay last year, GB are set to be another medal contender in Japan and Hunt will hope to reach the podium in more ways than one this September.
Returning as defending champion is never an easy task.
The world's eyes are upon you as you look to repeat what is already a difficult feat.
But Kerr will return to the site he won Olympic 1500m bronze in 2021 this week with eyes on claiming his second world title.
He will see fierce competition from the ever-present Jakob Ingebrigtsen, who despite coming straight off an injury, will be hoping to stop the Brits in their tracks after losing out to Jake Wightman and Kerr at previous world championships.
The Olympic champion Cole Hocker will also line up to try and repeat his late kick for gold and claim his maiden world title in Tokyo.
After missing out on the Olympic final last year, Molly Caudery is ready to take things one step at a time this summer.
The pole vaulter has already noted that she feels in British Record form coming into Tokyo 2025 and hopes that a potential vault of over 4.92m, her personal best set last year, will be everything she needs to make a first world podium.
Olympic champion Nina Kennedy will not be present in Japan after withdrawing due to injury but there will still be a major threat from USA's Katie Moon.
Caudery's best from this year is a height of 4.85m.
