Morris took sole lead in the women's pole vault final after posting a mark of 4.8 meters. Canada's Alysha Newman couldn't match it ahead of the second attempts.
It was left to Sidorova, who was competing under the Authorised Neutral Athlete flag, to match Morris' effort. Meanwhile, fellow American Katie Nageotte was among those who missed the cut before the bar was raised to 4.85.
Angelica Bengtsson made it through, even though the Swede had made a mess of her first attempt at clearing 4.8. She lost her grip, but Bengtsson rebounded to clear the bar.
It was still all about Morris, with the world indoor champion making easy work of the 4.85 bar. Once again though, Russian Sidorova was able to answer.
The same duo matched each other once the bar was moved to 4.90, but it was Sidorova who had glory to herself when the bar was set at 4.95.
Morris was left to settle for silver, while Katerina Stefanidi took home the bronze for Greece.
The triple-jump final began with Will Claye opening up a lead at the top of the standings thanks to a jump of 17.72 meters. It was the 28-year-old's second jump, and his run-up was perfect before a well-timed bound.
However, Claye was upstaged by fellow countryman Taylor, who put together jumps of 17.86 and 17.92 in the fourth and fifth rounds to assume control. Taylor's efforts saw off challenges from Burkina Faso's Hugues Fabrice Zango, Portugal's Pedro Pablo Pichardo and Cuba's Cristian Napoles.
Taylor maintained an impressive average of 17.96 to seal a fourth world title, while Claye added the silver to the already-loaded haul medals for the U.S.
Their performances were too much for the rest, but Zango still took bronze and put Burkina Faso on the medal table.
A world record was set when the U.S. won the mixed relay event. Cherry quickly chased down Poland's Justyna Swiety before setting a time of three minutes and 9.34 seconds to take gold.
Next up, it was Fraser-Pryce taking home the top prize in the 100. She left the field trailing with a spectacular sprint:
Her power was too much for Asher-Smith, despite a game effort. The silver offered some consolation for the 23-year-old, who also set a British record with her final time of 10.83 seconds.
Ivory Coast sprinter Marie-Josee Ta Lou was good enough to be awarded the bronze and get her nation off the mark in the medal count.
The day ended with Hong posting a winning time of one hour, 32 minutes and 53 seconds. It was a mark sufficient to give the 32-year-old a third world title.
