World Athletics Championships 2022 | Predictions

After a remarkable 2021 season, the world of track and field will now turn its eyes to the 2022 World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Oregon. We’re anticipating some intense battles for the Championship title in some events and if it’s not too much to ask for – at least one world record could go down. Here’s a few of the races that I’m most excited for.
Another interesting race will be the women’s 400m hurdles. Sydney McLaughlin and Dalilah Muhammed are two of the finest hurdlers in the history of the sport. McLaughlin, the current world record holder and Muhammed, a former world record holder, are the only women a part of the historic sub-52s club. Both women have also broken world records twice, challenging what we thought was possible in the women’s 400m hurdles.
In the same fashion, Rai Benjamin and Karsten Warholm will return to the men’s 400m hurdles for an epic match-up. Similar to the women’s 400m hurdles, both Benjamin and Warholm broke the previous world record at the Tokyo Olympics. Benjamin clocked an impressive 46.17s but it wasn’t enough to claim the title of Olympic champion which went to Warholm in a mind boggling time of 45.94s – becoming the first man to go under 46s in the event.
Next on the list is the women’s 200m. Few words can describe Elaine Thompson-Herah’s illustrious performance in the 200m final at the Tokyo Olympics. Her time of 21.53s is the second fastest in history and she’s said before that the 200m world record will be easier to break than the 100. However, it’s hard to tell how much she can improve upon this time since she hasn’t competed in another 200m race on the world stage since the Tokyo Olympics. Therefore, the jury is still out on the possibility of a world record run in this event, but I do believe if she can remain injury free and maintain her current form, she could pull off a sub-21.50s race and take the 200m World Championship title.
Now for one of the most highly anticipated events at this Championships – the women’s 100m discipline. It is unequivocally clear that the 2021 season for this event blew our minds with three notable women making indelible marks in this event.
Sha’Carri Richardson ran 10.72s in April 2021 at the Miramar Invitational becoming the sixth fastest woman in history. She then followed up with a wind aided 10.64s in the 100m semi-final round at the U.S. Olympic Trials in June.
Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce for a short time held the title of the second fastest woman in a time of 10.63s at the Jamaican Olympic Trials. Then in Lausanne, she lowered her personal best to 10.60s.
Elaine Thompson-Herah broke Flo-Jo’s 33-year-old Olympic record clocking 10.61s. She then landed within 0.05s of the world record in a startling time of 10.54s at the Prefontaine Classic and is now the fastest woman alive.
Let’s not discount Shericka Jackson either , the former quarter miler turned sprinter, who is the third member of the Jamaican trio that made waves in 2021. In the final of the women’s 100m at the Tokyo Olympics, she ran a personal best of 10.76s. She always has a strong finish due to her amazing top end speed. If she can improve her start, she can certainly lower her personal best and complete another Jamaican sweep in the women’s 100 at these Championships.
