Although this is the 19th edition of the championships, this is the first time the event has been held in Scotland. This is reflected in the design of the medals, which incorporate the thistle-inspired event brand, complemented by a selection of well-known Glasgow landmarks around its outer rim, giving athletes a little piece of Glasgow to remember their triumph, long after they leave the city, World Athletics informed in a report on its official website.

Several top athletes will compete in the tournament. These include Noah Lyles and Christian Coleman who will be facing off in the 60m event.

Tia Jones recently equalled Devynne Charlton’s 60m hurdles world record and the two will lock horns in Glasgow as well. The likes of Femke Bol, Grant Holloway, Ryan Crouser and Katie Moon will also be on the impressive playing field at the tournament.
