Of the 44 individual winners from the 2022 edition in Oregon, 38 are 
entered to defend their titles in Budapest, with Peru's double champion 
Kimberly Garcia set to contest both the 20km and 35km race walk events.

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce seeks a record-extending sixth world 100m title 
after she led a Jamaican sweep of the medals last year, winning in a 
championship record of 10.67. Pawel Fajdek also has the chance to secure a 
sixth gold medal, having won the past five consecutive world hammer titles.

Ryan Crouser (shot put), Mondo Duplantis (pole vault), Faith Kipgeyon 
(1500m) and Yulimar Rojas (triple jump) are among the world record-holders 
who return, targeting back-to-back world title triumphs.

Official start lists will become available after the technical meeting on 
the eve of the championships.
