Win prizes with Predict the Podium

Will the winners at the World Athletics Championships Budapest 23 be true to form or are surprises in store?

Here’s your chance to Predict the Podium, earn points and win prizes.

How to play

Make your predictions. As soon as the startlists are published, you will be able to select who you think will win the gold, silver and bronze medals. Our computer has calculated the chance each athlete has of winning, based on their past 30 performances. Earn between 5 and 20 points, depending on the chances of them winning. Athletes with a lower chance of winning earn the highest points, so will you take a risk or play it safe?

Points win prizes

You will earn points for each athlete that you correctly predict on the podium. Double points will be awarded if you get them in the right order!

The more you play, the more points you can earn to improve your position on the leaderboard and be in with a chance to win fabulous prizes including a VIP trip for two to the World Indoor Championships Glasgow 24, signed merchandise and World Athletics goody bags.
