World Athletics Championships 2023: Jackson, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Richardson ready to scorch Budapest track

The Hindu  

World 100m champion Fred Kerley’s long-awaited showdown with Olympic gold medallist Marcell Jacobs is one of many intriguing sub-plots to the World Athletics Championships that start in Budapest on Saturday. Since that heady victory, the Italian has been beset by injuries, missing last year’s Covid-delayed world champs in Eugene when Kerley led a U.S. medal clean sweep in track and field’s blue riband event. “I really had to work hard to remain focused on these world championships as it’s the only medal I’m still missing in my collection.” - Kipyegon vs Hassan - The women’s 100m Fraser-Pryce is seeking an unprecedented sixth 100m title, but Richardson, who missed the Tokyo Olympics for a doping violation, is this season’s red-hot performer. Other field events to watch include Ryan Crouser in the men’s shot put, an event selected by none other than World Athletics president Sebastian Coe as the sport’s current stand-out discipline, and all-conquering Venezuelan Yulimar Rojas in the women’s triple jump.
