World Athletics Championships 2025: Gout Gout makes bow, Josh Kerr goes for gold and more – live | World Athletics Championships
Key events
Thance of male javelin – Group A: The first of the two groups began, which contains the world n ° 1 Julian Weber and the world n ° 2 Neeraj Chopra. The automatic qualification brand is 84.50 m or at least the top 12 qualify for the final.
Triple jump for men: But let’s talk about our first evening session event. Two groups of 18 will compete with the qualifications. The automatic qualification mark is 17.10 m or at least the 12 best qualifications in the final on Friday.
The world number 1 Andy Díaz Hernández is in group B and its season and its personal record measures 17.80 m. The Italian won bronze at the Paris Olympic Games and won gold at the Nanjing 2025 room championships.
1500m for men: And later in the day, Josh Kerr of GB hopes to defend his title of 1500m – a title he is confident is his.
I have already done it. I know how to do it. I’m in a better place. I am more excited. I already have one of these gold medals in my safe. When I say easier, I don’t say that the race is going to be easier. I’m not saying that the competition is worse. I say I know how to do it.
This training camp was quite difficult. I am so excited to go out and run these guys over 1500m. It will probably be the simplest thing I have done in the past six weeks.
Kerr will participate in Jake Wightman from GB (former world champion) and Neil Gourley (silver medal in the indoor championships).
400m for women: Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone ran one of the fastest times in history to qualify for the 400m female final and the American aims for a 40-year record.
The American ran 48.29 seconds in the semi -finals on Tuesday – breaking her personal record almost half a second – then promising to run faster in the final on Thursday. “This race definitively gives me confidence for the final,” she said. “I did not expect to run so fast today. And I have even more to show. ”
Find out more about the chances of McLaughlin-Levrone and what you can expect from the only Olympic champion in 1500m, Faith Kipyegon.
200m for men: The conversation on everyone’s lips today is the drop drop, the Australian Wonder-Kid which has become the best young sprint talent.
Its warmth suits him today against five contenders in the semi-finals aged 23 years or under, three of whom ran faster than him. The teenager must match or beat his fastest 200 meters to ensure that his beginnings on the world athletics championships last more than today’s sleeves.
