Her Majesty the "Queen of Sports". Budapest is ready for a spectacle, the stadium next to the Danube named "National Athletic Center" will host the World Athletics Championships from tomorrow (Saturday).
Montenegro will once again be a part of one of the biggest sporting events on the planet, thanks to the European vice-champion in the high jump from Munich, Marija Vuković.
The best athlete of our country will perform in the qualifiers on August 25, while the final is scheduled for August 27 - the last day of the championship.
The Athletics World Cup is coming in the year before the Olympic Games in Paris, and it will be full of stars.
Thus, the legendary Jamaican Shelly-Anne Fraser-Pryce, one of the greatest sprinters of all time, will chase her 11th world gold, and her sixth in the "royal race" at 100 meters.
Another big name in world athletics will appear in the capital of Hungary - Armad Duplantis, the current Olympic, world and European champion, the man who improved his world record three times during the past year, will again be a big favorite in the pole vault.
"Mondo's" 6,22 meters could be demolished again.
During the summer, the phenomenal Kenyan Faith Kipjegon set a new world record at 1.500 meters in Florence, and in Budapest she will attack for the third world gold after the triumph in London in 2017 and Eugene in 2022.
Usain Bolt may not be around anymore, but the men's 100m is always the most anticipated event of any athletic competition. The final is scheduled for the second day of the World Championship (Sunday, 19.10:2015 p.m.), and current champion Fred Kerley could become the first since the "Lightning from Jamaica" (XNUMX) to defend the gold in this discipline.
Apart from Bolt, only two other legends have reached this feat - Carl Lewis and Maurice Greene.
Great duels are also expected in the one-lap race, as Wade van Niekerk (two-time world champion), Stephen Gardiner (Olympic champion) and defending champion Michael Norman from Eugene will fight for gold in the 400 meters.
When it comes to the kings of the long distance, the spotlight will once again be on the 10.000 duel between world record holder Joshua Cheptegei of Uganda and Berihu Aregawi of Ethiopia, the guy who this year managed to beat Cheptegei to set the sixth fastest time in history.
Among the 2.187 athletes from 202 countries of the world, there are still many big names, and the most important thing is that there are days to enjoy.
