One of the most highly anticipated events at the 2024 World Athletics Championships is the men’s 100m sprint. The current world record for the 100m is held by Usain Bolt, who set the record in 2009 with a time of 9.58 seconds. However, there are several athletes who are close to breaking this record, including American sprinter Trayvon Bromell and Canadian sprinter Andre De Grasse. Both athletes have been posting fast times in recent years and are expected to push each other to new heights in Budapest.
In the women’s 400m hurdles, all eyes will be on American athlete Sydney McLaughlin. McLaughlin broke the world record in the women’s 400m hurdles at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, becoming the first woman to run the event in under 52 seconds. McLaughlin will be looking to defend her title and possibly even break her own record at the 2024 World Athletics Championships.
Another event to watch at the 2024 World Athletics Championships is the men’s high jump. The current world record for the men’s high jump is held by Cuban athlete Javier Sotomayor, who set the record in 1993 with a jump of 2.45m. However, there are several athletes who are close to breaking this record, including Qatar’s Mutaz Essa Barshim and Italy’s Gianmarco Tamberi. Both athletes have been consistently jumping over 2.40m in recent years and are expected to put on a show in Budapest.
Overall, the 2024 World Athletics Championships in Budapest is shaping up to be an exciting and record-breaking event.
