DAY 3: 21 August, Monday

EVENING Session

 

Each event features world class athletes. Karsten Warholm, the Norwegian 400m hurdles world record-holder, will race for a place in the final, while Grant Holloway, one of the Hungarian fans’ favourite foreign athletes, should be in the running for gold in the 110m hurdles.

 

Hugues Fabrice Zango and Jaydon Hibbert will hope to dominate the triple jump final. You can see Femke Bol for the first time on the super-fast Mondo track of the National Athletics Centre.

 

The Slovenian fans could have a big night cheering Kristjan Ceh in the discus throw final. He'll have to beat the multiple world and Olympic champion Daniel Stahl and Lithuania’s youngster Mykolas Alekna to make it.

 

Jamaica's golden generation of sprinters will also be looking for a big night. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce could go for an incredible sixth World Championships title in the 100m and defending 200m champion Shericka Jackson will be hoping to beat her legendary rivals in the 100m. Also watch out for USA’s new star sprinter, Sha’Carri Richardson, who could make a breakthrough to become one of the world's top sprinters in Budapest.
