Track & Field World Athletics Championships Oregon22: Schedule, day four - Monday 18 July

Six medal events are on tap for Monday, 18 July, the fourth day of competition at the World Athletics Championships 2022, once again starting early in the morning at the Autzen Stadium with the women's marathon. It's hard to look past the Kenyans here, with defending champion Ruth Chepngetich involved, although Olympic champion Peres Jepchirchir has withdrawn through injury.

A Kenyan is also defending champion in the night's first track final, the men's 3000m steeplechase (Conseslus Kipruto), while two-time reigning Olympic champion Faith Kipyegon will look to wrest the women's 1500m world title back from Dutchwoman Sifan Hassan. However, Kipruto may not find the 3000m steeple that straightforward – five men, including Olympic champion Soufiane El Bakkali, have gone quicker than the Kenyan this year.

There are also two highly-anticipated field events, each of which produced stunning results at last summer's Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games on the same night – the men's high jump and women's triple jump.

Qatar's Mutaz Essa Barshim is the defending champion in the high jump, and memorably shared Olympic gold with his good friend Gianmarco Tamberi in Tokyo. But in Eugene, competition will be fiercer; South Korea's Woo Sanghyeok – the world indoor champion – has gone higher than both Barshim and Tamberi this season; USA's Shelby McEwen also cleared 2.33m at Hayward Field during the American trials.

Meanwhile in the women's triple jump, the question on everyone's lips is just how far can Yulimar Rojas jump? She became the first woman to jump further than 15.50m when she won gold in Tokyo at 15.67, before extending the world record to 15.74 at the World Indoor Championships in March. If she has favourable conditions and a good tailwind in Eugene, both the outdoor mark of 15.67 and the outright record could be under threat.

The evening's other medal event is the conclusion of the heptathlon, with defending champion Katarina Johnson-Thompson of Great Britain trying to defend her title from Belgium's Olympic champ Nafi Thiam.
