Hurdling 100 Metres Hurdles Track And Field The Bahamas

Bahamian Athletes Set to Compete in World Athletics Championships

Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, Devynne Charlton Aim for Podium Finish

Qualifiers Include Wanya McCoy and Denisha Cartwright

The world's best track and field athletes are preparing to descend on Paris for the upcoming World Athletics Championships. Among them will be a strong contingent of Bahamian athletes, including two world record-holders. Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, the reigning Olympic champion in the 400-meter hurdles, will be looking to add to her medal count in Paris. The 23-year-old is the current world record holder in the event and is one of the favorites to win gold in France. Devynne Charlton, another Bahamian hurdler, will also be competing in Paris. Charlton broke her own world record in the 60-meter hurdles at the World Athletics Relays earlier this year and is hoping to add an outdoor world title to her indoor success. Other Bahamian athletes who have qualified for the World Championships include Wanya McCoy in the men's 200 meters and Denisha Cartwright in the women's 200 meters. Cartwright is expected to return home to compete in the Bahamas Association of Athletic Associations (BAAA) National Championships before heading to Paris.

The World Athletics Championships will be held from August 19-27 at the Stade de France in Paris. The event will serve as an important qualifier for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
