After a fantastic season the two young Hungarian sprinters, Dominik Illovszky and M\u00e1rk Pap have a great opportunity to show themselves to the world alongside them. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Another sensation is that according to the plans only throwers over 21 metres will be in the shot put event. World record holder Ryan Crouser will also have to compete with the defending champion of the competition, New Zealand’s Tom Walsh in the throwing circle.<\/p>\n In another throwing circle the field of discus throwers will also be on the highest level. Olympic and world champion Daniel Stahl, who won the discus throw in the last three years, will go head-to-head with the world’s best. Among them will be Kristjan Ceh, one of the biggest talents in the competition who is actually more than a talent. This year he improved the Slovenian record to 71.27 meters and is 5-1 against Stahl in 2022.<\/p>\n The Tokyo silver medalist Simon Pettersson from Sweden and the 2017 world and defending European champion Andrius Gudzius of Lithuania are fantastic athletes, as are the two Hungarian participants, J\u00e1nos Husz\u00e1k and R\u00f3bert Szikszai, among the best European discus throwers.<\/p>\n Besides Wojciech Nowicki and Bence Hal\u00e1sz Kriszti\u00e1n Pars, D\u00e1niel R\u00e1ba, Bence P\u00e1sztor, Don\u00e1t Varga and G\u00e1bor Czeller will also be in the field of hammer throw.<\/p>\n Among the hurdlers, like Jasmine Camacho-Quinn and Grant Holloway, the 2016 winner of the competition, Nia Ali is also returning. As for the Hungarians, Luca Koz\u00e1k, Gr\u00e9ta Kerekes, Vald\u00f3 Sz\u0171cs, B\u00e1lint Szeles and D\u00e1niel Eszes will be among the competitors.<\/p>\n In the women’s 100m, alongside Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce the 60m indoor world champion, Mujinga Kambundji will also be among the opponents of the top Hungarian Bogl\u00e1rka Tak\u00e1cs. In the 200 metres, Justztina Cs\u00f3ti will also strengthen the field.<\/p>\n The entry of Steven Gardiner, who withdrew from the World Championships due to injury also is at stake at the Gyulai Istv\u00e1n Memorial. The king of the 400 metres – if he recovers – would run the 200 metres in Sz\u00e9kesfeh\u00e9rv\u00e1r, where Olympic silver medalist Kenneth Bednarek and Erriyon Knighton will also return to the Bregy\u00f3 Regional Athletic Center on 8 August, so Tam\u00e1s M\u00e1t\u00e9 and Zolt\u00e1n Wahl will not be without star opponents.<\/p>\n If that wasn’t enough, Armand Duplantis and Gianmarco Tamberi, the greatest personalities of the pole vault and high jump, are heading to Sz\u00e9kesfeh\u00e9rv\u00e1r between the WCH and the European Championship.<\/p>\n
