Budapest will be the epicenter of track and field when more than 2,000 athletes representing 202 countries will be in Hungary's capital for the 2023 world championships.
Several Olympic gold medalists and reigning world champions will be competing at this year’s championships, including Jamaican sprinter Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Kenyan distance runner Faith Kipyegon and pole vaulter Armand "Mondo" Duplantis representing Sweden.
