The World Athletics Championships got underway in Eugene’s Hayward Field on Friday, kicking off 10 days of international competition that will see Great Britain’s track and field stars attempt to make their mark on the global stage.
Star sprinters Dina Asher-Smith and Daryll Neita highlight the action on day three of the Championships, with the women’s 100m final taking place. Asher-Smith has looked to peak in time for Eugene, and qualified for the semi-finals with the fastest time.
They will face competition from Elaine Thompson-Herah and Shericka Jackson in what looks set to be a blockbuster final. Elsewhere, Katarina Johnson-Thompson is among those defending titles from Doha three years ago, while Keely Hodgkinson and Laura Muir will be looking to add to their success at the Tokyo Olympics.
Sydney McLaughlin is the leading US hope, but the hosts have already tasted success with Fred Kerley leading a clean sweep in the men’s 100m. Favourite Kerley finished ahead of team-mates Marvin Bracy and Trayvon Bromell on Saturday night.
There is a seven hour time difference between the UK and Eugene, Portland on the west coast of the United States. But here is the full event schedule, as well as how you can watch.
