The World Athletics Championships 2025 is set to conclude a gripping season in track and field in Tokyo, Japan.
Great Britain and Northern Ireland will hope to land medals behind Olympic champion Keely Hodgkinson in the women’s 800m, while other medalists in Paris last year include Georgia Hunter Bell, Josh Kerr, Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Matthew Hudson-Smith.
World superstars Noah Lyles, Mondo Duplantis and Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone feature, while injuries have scuppered the build-up for Kishane Thompson and Jakob Ingebrigtsen, casting doubt over their involvement and potential to perform.
Kerr is the men’s 1500m world champion from the last version of the event at Budapest 2023, though Olympic champion Cole Hocker, Dutch phenom Niels Laros and Ingebrigtsen pose a threat to the Briton in one of the most anticipated events of the championships.
As well as Kerr, Team GB landed medals in Budapest through Hodgkinson, Johnson-Thompson, Ben Pattison, Zharnel Hughes, Hudson-Smith and a hat-trick of successes in the relays. Here’s the full rundown of the Tokyo schedule and timings across nine absorbing days of sport:
