DAY 5: 23 August, Wednesday

EVENING Session

 

With Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Karsten Warholm potentially featuring in the 1500m and 400m hurdles finals, respectively, it could be all about the Norwegian superstars. There will be a number of athletes looking to stop them, however, and the two thrilling finals could also star defending world champions Jake Wightman and Alison dos Santos.

 

In the women's pole vault final, the duel between two US athletes, Katie Nageotte and Sandi Morris, promises to be a nail-biter. The women's 400m final could be a very open and exciting race without the defending champion Shaunae Miller-Uibo, who has said she now intends to focus on the 200m in major competition.

 

The semifinals of the women's 100m hurdles could provide the most dramatic moments of the evening. One of athletics' most impressive personalities, Yulimar Rojas, will aim to secure her place in the triple jump final with a single attempt. The women's hammer throw qualification should feature the return of Poland's Anita Wlodarczyk.
