WELCOME TO THE WORLD ATHLETICS CHAMPIONSHIPS TOKYO 25! The World Athletics Championships will be held in Tokyo from 13-21 September 2025. More than 2000 athletes from some 200 countries will come to Tokyo to take part in one of the world's biggest sporting events. The first event was held in...

A little treat at the beginning of Autumn to make us feel we're still in summer.

The sprint events bore me, but the middle distance events will be great.

Biggest disappointment for me is that in the 800M Hodgkinson wont be facing the Yank who beat her in a WC final and Olympic final Athing Mu, who failed to make it through the American trials. I reckon there might be a Brit 1-2 in that race with Hunter-Bell coming second. I suppose the Kenyan Mary Moraa cant be discounted either.

The Mens 1500 is going to be a tear up between Kerr and Ingebrigtsen - and I wouldn't rule out Wightman getting back onto the podium again. I cant see Hocker retaining his title. Just a pity Nuguse failed to qualify for this.

Would be wonderful if Mathew Hudson Smith could get gold. Criminally underrated sportsman who gets no press despite being legitimately world class at his discipline.

Watch out for Charlie Dobson in the same event

Supposed to be a heatwave in japan atm

Wonder if Ms Hodgkinson will remove her nipple bar or risk third degree burns?

It's been boiling for months.

Absolutely. Very good competitors.

The GB team produce great 400M relay quartets but haven't had an individual champion for ages...aprt from the dodgy Ohuruogu.

Should produce some fast times in the sprints and will be conducive to some field events like the long jump and triple jump.

Anything over 1500M will be punishing for competitors.

The marathon will be a killer. Is the BBC covering it ?

BBC coverage will be right through the early hours of the morning - the marathon start should be about midnight.

Unfortunately we'll be putting up with some daft hours.

Looks like there's live coverage during the day.

She's usually injured around competition time, isn't she ?

Hopefully. I can do without her doing interviews with her red shirt on and talking about 'Virgil's' support.

Kerr And Ingebrigtsen have got a lot more than just each other to worry about this time.

I hope Kerr can win but they’ll both be doing well to beat the youngsters Laros (who I make favourite) and Koech.
