The competitions in the video livestream and in the live ticker at Sportschau.de.
Triple jump men – qualification (12.05 p.m.)
At the start of the evening session – in Tokyo at 7 p.m. – for the triple jumpers, the qualification for the final on Friday (1:50 p.m., live in the first and at Sportschau.de). Ex-European champion Max Heß found its own strength in a convincing indoor season with 17.43 meters. The outlier is still missing outdoors. In Budapest two years ago, he missed the final – this time it should go better.
Men’s spear throw – qualification (12.10 and 1.45 p.m.)
First appearance Julian Weber. The Mainz is the hottest contender for World Cup gold in the German team. His move into the javelin throw final on Thursday (12.23 p.m., in the live ticker at Sportschau.de) should be a matter of form. The best world year (91.51 meters) is in a fantastic constitution this season, after fourth places at the Olympic Games four years ago in Tokyo and at the World Championships 2023 and 2022, the 31-year-old wants to finally fulfill the wish of a medal on the world stage. It can also be the big coup …
Major vault Women – Finale (12.25 p.m.)
It will be closely in the fight for the medals. The top international athletes are close together. The American Katie Moon would like to successfully defend her title from Budapest four years ago. No World Cup starter jumped in the open air this year than the 34-year-old (4.85).
200 meters of women – prelets (12.30 p.m.)
Sophia Junk and Jessica-Bianca Wessolly want to attack their best performances against strong opponents. For the world’s fastest Julien Alfred (St. Lucia) and defending champion Shericka Jackson (Jamaica), the move into the semi -finals is mandatory.
Long jump men – final (1.49 p.m.)
Olympic champion and defending champion Miltiadis Tentoglu (Greece) is again a winning candidate, but has great competition. It will be exciting in the fight for gold, silver and bronze. Simon Batz missed the leap into the final.
400 meter hurdles women – semi -finals (2:03 p.m.)
Eileen Demes and Elena Kelety are in the semi -finals. The move into the final on Friday (2:27 p.m., live in the first and at Sportschau.de) is rather unrealistic. Of course, it looks different with Femke Bol: the “flying Dutchman” is unbeaten this season and the favorite.
400 meter hurdles men – semi -finals (2.30 p.m.)
In Supertalent OWE Fischer-Breiholz, which continued in the right thigh despite the cramps, and Emil Agyekum are two of three DLV starters in the semi-finals. The giant trio with Tokyo Olympic champion, defending champion and world record holder Karsten Warholm, Paris Olympic champion Rai Benjamin (USA) and 2022 world champion Alison Dos Santos (Brazil) promises great sport again-probably in the final on Friday (2:15 p.m., live at Sportschau.de).
3000 meters obstacle women – final (2:57 p.m.)
Gesa Krause – despite the rib break in June – fulfilled her dream of re -final participation in her seventh (!) World Cup. A top placement is not to be expected from the two-time World Cup bronze medalist (2015 and 2019): “If you look at the times, it is of course difficult to see me in the final in the final“, she said, but:”I have come to the final at every international championship so far, I didn’t want to interrupt this streak here.“Lea Meyer is also there.
1500 meters of men – final (3:20 p.m.)
At first he was out and disappointed with his performance, then he came to the final by jury. There Robert Farken will want to deliver a different idea than in the semi -finals when he burst on the home straight. The German record holder can continue to hope for a top placement, while Olympic champion Cole Hocker is disqualified after his Rempler. Is the Briton Josh Kerr running for successful title defense? Or does the new one come to him Wonder runner Niels Laros from the Netherlands in the way? It gets hot …
