Overview

  • The World Athletics Championships run from 13 to 21 September in Tokyo, with most finals scheduled between 13:00 and 15:30 CET.
  • A roughly 79–80-strong DLV squad finished its Miyazaki pre-camp and moved to Tokyo, as officials emphasize performance goals after the 2023 medal drought.
  • Long jump star Malaika Mihambo adjusted her run-up to reach top speed earlier and competes in qualifying on Saturday (11:30 CET) before Sunday’s final (13:40 CET), while indicating 2027 could be her last Worlds.
  • Javelin thrower Julian Weber arrives as world leader at 91.51 m, with Leo Neugebauer, Yemisi Ogunleye, Christina Honsel and the women’s 4x100 m relay among Germany’s medal candidates against strong rivals such as Tara Davis-Woodhall.
  • Live coverage alternates on ARD and ZDF with daily Eurosport broadcasts, and streaming is available via the public mediatheken and Joyn, with Eurosport online on Discovery+ and DAZN.
