The first Sunday at the World Athletics Championships Oregon22 will be a busy one, with seven sets of medals up for grabs beginning at 6:15am in the morning and not finishing until just before 8pm in the evening.

Why such an early start, you might wonder. At the Autzen Stadium, some of the world's best male marathoners will take to the line for the men's marathon – albeit without the star attraction of the discipline, Eliud Kipchoge, who did not mark the World Championships on his calendar this season. Still, expect Kenya, Ethiopia, and Uganda to send strong teams to challenge for the world title,

At the other end of the evening are major track finals in the men's 110m hurdles and women's 100m. Jamaica should have a starring role in both events, with Olympic champion Hansle Parchment leading the hurdles charge – challenged by the USA's Devon Allen and Grant Holloway – and the top three 100m women in the world all representing the Caribbean nation.

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is the world leader over that distance this year at 10.67, with the Beijing 2008 and London 2012 Olympic champion in the distance still going strong. Shericka Jackson, normally mentioned third in a trio which also includes Elaine Thompson-Herah, ran 10.77 at Jamaican trials for the second-quickest time this year, while Thompson-Herah – who has made no secret of her desire to topple Florence Griffith-Joyner's world record from 1988, having come close last year – clocked 10.79 at Hayward Field during the Diamond League. Watch out too for fastest qualifier Dina Asher-Smith.

There are also finals in the women's hammer, men's 10000m, women's pole vault, and men's shot put – the latter of which could see Ryan Crouser threaten his own world record.
