The World Athletics Championships are set to sparkle as a number of the finest sports stars on the planet gather in Eugene, Oregon for the first day of events.
It’s not a quiet start to proceedings either, with a number of popular track and field events kick-starting early and medals to be won on the very first day.
The preliminary rounds of the men’s and women’s 100m competitions get under way, while qualification for a series of field events such as hammer throw, high jump, long jump and pole vault also begin.
Friday also sees a three finals. The men’s and women’s 20km race walks go ahead, while the relatively new mixed 4x400m relay will round off the opening day of activities.
