July 15-24, the 2022 World Athletics Championships will be held in Eugene, Oregon, USA. The middle and long-distance running events will include men's and women's 800 meters, 1500 meters, 5000 meters, 10000 meters, 3000 meters obstacle and There are 12 gold medals in the marathon.
"98 Run" will share the preview of each event in men's and women's categories before the game, so that everyone can understand the story behind the game in more detail. Today, let’s look at the “men’s chapter” first.
Men's 10,000m
Competition time: July 18, 4:00
Barega won the men's 10,000m championship at the Tokyo Olympics
Let's first recall the men's 10,000m race on the first track and field competition day of the Olympic Games last year. At that time, no one could have guessed that Selemon Barega of Ethiopian would suddenly emerge in the final sprint and win the championship in 27:43.22. Ugandan world record holder Joshua Che Joshua Cheptegei finished second with a gap of 0.41 seconds, and Jacob Kiplimo, another Ugandan player, ranked third.
Ranked 4th-7th are Barrega’s compatriot Berihu Aregawi, American player Grant Fisher, and Canada’s Mohamed Ahmed ( Mohammed Ahmed and Rogers Kwemoi of Kenya.
And now, these seven people will reunite in Eugene. How will the result be different this time?
As the 5000m silver medalist at the last World Championships, Barrega's performance in the Diamond League 5000m competition this year was slightly eclipsed, finishing third and fourth respectively in Eugene and Rome, but he finally won the championship in Paris recently. In early June, he took time between the two races in Eugene and Rome to win the Ethiopian World Championship Trial 10,000m championship in Hengelo, the Netherlands, in 26:44.73.
In March of this year, Barrega won the 3000m indoor championship at the World Indoor Championships in Belgrade. He started sprinting from the last 600 meters and beat his compatriot Lamecha, who won the 3000m obstacle silver medal at the Doha World Championships and Tokyo Olympics. ·Lamecha Girma.
Barrega’s best results in the 1500 meters and 3000 meters (indoor) are 3:32.97 and 7:26.10 respectively. This speed ability ensures that he will become a force that cannot be ignored in the championship battle. As for his opponent, it is necessary to offset Barrega's sprinting ability by accelerating in advance before the game enters the sprint phase.
Cheptegei won the Tokyo Olympics men's 10,000m runner-up
In 2020, Cheptegei successively won the 5,000m (12:35.36) and 10,000m (26:11.00) world records. At last year's Tokyo Olympics, although he lost the 10,000-meter race, he later won the Olympic 5,000-meter gold medal with 55 seconds on the last lap.
In 2022, Cheptegei’s only appearance record in the field season was to win the 5000m championship in 12:57.99 in the world record challenge at Hayward Track and Field at the end of May, but he failed to challenge his own world record. . As the 10,000-meter champion of the Doha World Championships, Cheptegei still has the opportunity to become the successor to three legendary predecessors - Haile Gebrselassie (Haile Gebrselassie) (Kenenisa Bekele) ) and Mo Farah - the fourth person to successfully defend the World Championships 10,000m gold medal.
Cheputegei and compatriot Kiplimo At the Tokyo Olympics
Cheputegei needs to pay attention to his opponents, including fellow countryman Kiplimo. Kiprimo also only participated in one track event this year: at the end of June, he won the 3000m runner-up at the Diamond League Stockholm station in 7:29.55, surprisingly losing to Dominic, a refugee player from South Sudan · Dominic Lobalu.
However, it should be noted that Kiprimo holds the Ugandan outdoor 3,000-meter record of 7:26.64, which is almost the same as Barega’s indoor result; at the same time, he is also the half-marathon world record holder of 57:31.
Aregawi set a new 5km world record in 12:49
On the last day of last year, Ethiopian athlete Aregawi snatched the 5km world record from Cheputge in Barcelona in 12:49 record; and in May, in the Diamond League Eugene Station 5000m race at Hayward , Aregave won the championship in 12:50.05, ahead of compatriot Samuel Terefa, 13:06.86) and Barrega (13:07.30).
At the Ethiopian World Championships 10,000m trials in Hengelo, Aregawi ranked third in 26:46.13, second only to Barega and Tadese Worku (26:45.91). , which also allowed him to do both at the World Championships.
Worku, who is only 20 years old, will participate in the adult world competition for the first time. He won the runner-up in the U20 World Cross Country Championships in 2019 and won the U20 World Championships 3000m championship (7:42.09) and 5000m championship in Nairobi, Kenya last year. Second place (13:20.65).
Fisher and Ahmed from the Bowerman Track and Field Club
Two North American athletes who trained at the famous Bowerman Track and Field Club: Fisher from the United States and Ahmed from Canada competed at the same venue in March this year In the competition, they ran 26:33.84 and 26:34.14 respectively, setting new Central and North American and Canadian records. The original Central and North American record was 26:44.36 set by the famous player Galen Rupp in 2014. —This is also the top two results in the world so far this season.
Fisher, who was born in Canada and later became an American citizen, is in hot form this year. Before setting the North American 10,000-meter record, he also snatched the same record from Rupp (13:01.26) in February with 12:53.73. Indoor 5000m North and American record in 2014.
Fisher and Ahmed from the Bowerman Track and Field Club
In the same competition, Mohammed also ran 12:56.87, setting a new Canadian national record for the indoor 5,000 meters. Compared with Fisher, the 31-year-old Mohammed has richer competition experience: he won sixth place in the 10,000 meters at the World Championships in Doha and the Tokyo Olympics, and won gold medals at the World Championships in London and Moscow respectively. He ranked eighth and ninth in the event; his 5,000-meter ability cannot be underestimated. He won silver and bronze medals in Tokyo and Doha respectively, and ranked fourth and sixth respectively at the Rio Olympics and London World Championships.

Preliminary time: July 22, 9:10
Final time: July 25, 9:05
Cheput Gai won the men's 5000m at the Tokyo Olympics
The men's 5000m race may be one of the most intense races at the World Championships in Oregon. 1. Three Tokyo Olympic gold medalists: Norwegian Jakob Ingebrigtsen in the 1,500m, Joshua Cheptegei of Uganda in the 5,000m and 10,000m The Ethiopian Selemon Barega (Selemon Barega) is expected to meet in the finals on July 25th, Beijing time.

In 2018, Ingebrigtsson, who was under 18 years old, won the European Championships 1500m and 5000m double crown in Berlin . Four years later, whether he can replicate this scene at the World Championships will be the suspense of the game. one.
Previously, only three people in history had achieved this feat in the same World Series: the 1924 Paris Olympics Finnish flying star Paavo Nurmi (Paavo Nurmi), the 2004 Athens Olympics Morocco Distance master Hicham El Guerrouj, and American star Bernard Lagat at the 2007 World Championships in Osaka.
Ingebrigtsson at the Doha World Championships
At the 2019 Doha World Championships, the ambitious Ingebrigtsson tried it, but ultimately finished fourth in the 1,500 meters and fifth in the 5,000 meters, finishing both in both events. Just missed out on the medal. At last year's Tokyo Olympics, he focused on the 1,500 meters, winning the gold medal with a time of 3:28:32 and setting a new Olympic record and European record.
In late March, Ingebrigtsen unexpectedly lost to Ethiopian Samuel Tefera in the 1,500-meter final of the World Indoor Championships, but the positive test result for the new crown the next day explained this abnormal performance.
But after recovering, Ingebridgsson was in good condition: On May 6, he participated in the only 5000-meter competition this year in the United States and won the championship in 13:02.03; on June 16, he competed in the Diamond League He won the one-mile race in Oslo in 3:46.46, improving his own Norwegian national record by nearly 1 second and ranking sixth in history. Combined with the European record of 12:48.45 he set in Florence last year, which was also the world's best result last year, Ingebridgsson's performance in the 5,000 meters is worth looking forward to.
In Eugene, Ingebrigtsen's opponents will need to try and get rid of him in the first 4000 meters of the race.
In last year’s Tokyo Olympics 5,000-meter final, Cheptegei entered the final lap two meters ahead and eventually won the championship with a 55-second sprint in a single lap. Canada's Ahmed rose from fifth to second place in the final 200 meters. He was also the 5,000-meter bronze medalist at the Doha World Championships and lost to two Ethiopian players, Edlis and Barega.
Ingebridgson at the Doha World Championships
In 2020, Cheptegei set a 5000m world record of 12:35.36, but he has only participated in one track event this year, the World Championships in Eugene on May 27. Won the championship in the record challenge with a time of 12:57.99.
In last year's Tokyo Olympics 10,000-meter final, Cheptegei had a fierce battle with Barrega in the sprint stage, but lost by 0.41 seconds in the face of the latter's strong sprinting ability.
This year, Barrega participated in three 5,000-meter races in the Diamond League. After finishing third and fourth in Eugene and Rome respectively, he finally won the championship in Paris. His condition was not the best. However, in the 3,000-meter race at the World Indoor Championships in March, he defeated fellow countryman Lamecha Girma, the double runner-up in the World Championships and Olympic 3,000-meter obstacle course, to win the championship.
Barrega, Cheptegei and Ahmed will all compete in the 5,000m and 10,000m in Eugene. Also competing in the event is Barrega’s compatriot, who set a record of 12 in Barcelona on the last day last year: Aregave world record for 5km road run of 49.
On May 28, the day after Cheptegei failed to challenge his 5,000-meter world record in Eugene, Aregave won the Diamond League Eugene race in 12:50.05 on the same venue. , this was the best result in the world in 2022.
Kip Collier ran 12:46.33 in the 5000m Diamond League Rome Station, the best of the year
However, more than ten days later, on June 9, this result was beaten by two Kenyan runners Kip Collier at the Diamond League Rome Station. surpassed Klopp, and the two ranked in the top two with 12:46.33 and 12:46.79 respectively. These two results are among the top ten in history, and can be ranked seventh and tied for ninth. Cropp, who is only 21 years old, participated in the 5000m race at the Doha World Championships three years ago and ranked sixth. Men's 1500m
Preliminary time: July 17, 9:30
Semi-final time: July 18 Japan 10:00
Final time: July 20 10:30
Ingebrigtsen won the men's 1500m at the Tokyo Olympics
1-year-old Norwegian player Jakob Ingebrigtsen has almost everything in the 1500m Honors: 2018 European Championship champion, 2020 Tokyo Olympics champion, set an indoor 1500-meter world record of 3:30.60 in France in February this year - but he still lacks a World Championship medal, and he will try to win the gold medal in July local time This gap will be filled in the 1500m final on the 19th.
Ingebrigtsen is sure that he will compete in both the 1,500 meters and 5,000 meters in Eugene, but the 1,500 meters is what he likes and values the most.
In March of this year, Ingebrigtsson, who came to Belgrade to participate in the Indoor World Championships with a world record, won the runner-up in 3:33.02. He needed to complete his revenge outdoors. He was originally the favorite in that game, but faced with the sprint of Ethiopian player Samuel Tefera in the final stage, he was powerless and watched his opponent win the gold medal in 3:32.77.
The next day, Ingebrigtsson was tested positive for the new crown, which gave a reasonable explanation for this defeat. After recovering, the Norwegian remained unbeaten, winning two one-mile races in the Diamond League in Eugene and Oslo in 3:49.76 and 3:46.46 respectively.
However, he will face the challenges of many opponents in Eugene.
Ingebrigtsen won the men's 1500m event at the Tokyo Olympics
The main opponent is Kenyan Abel Kipsang (Abel Kipsang), who was the fourth winner at the Tokyo Olympics last year. Various signs indicate that the 25-year-old Kipsang Poussin will be looking to win his first outdoor world championship medal in Eugene: in Belgrade, he took the lead to win an indoor world championship bronze medal behind Tefera and Ingebrigtsen in 3:33.36; in Eugene , he finished 4th in the mile in 3:50.87.
His best 1500m result this season came from running 3:31.01 in high-altitude conditions in Kenya in May. In the Kenya trials last month, Kipsang defeated Doha World Championships champion Timothy in 3:34.55. ·Timothy Cheruiyot.
Tokyo Olympics men's 1500m fourth place Kipsang
Cheruiyot has not yet returned to his best form. The Tokyo Olympics silver medalist also participated in the mile in Eugene, finishing third in 3:50.77 name. But he has the championship pedigree to dominate the competition and could medal again in Eugene.
British player Jake Wightman was fifth at the World Championships in Doha and ranked tenth in Tokyo last year. Last winter and this spring, he strengthened his endurance training. This year he tried the indoor 3000 meters and ran 7:50.96 and 7:37.81 successively. This made him capable of coping with the competition for the 1500 meters in the three rounds of world-class competitions.
British player Jack Whiteman won the Diamond League Rabat championship in 3:32.62
Whiteman seems to have achieved initial results. At the beginning of June, he won the Diamond League Rabat championship in 3:32.62; then at the British Championships at the end of the month, he defeated Neil Gourley and Josh Kerr in 3:40.26 for the first time. Win the championship. If you can advance to the finals, the slower the pace, the more dangerous Whiteman will be.
Kerr won the bronze medal in Tokyo in 3:29.05. He also ran 3:32.86 in the indoor season, but he seems to have not yet entered the state in the outdoor season. The best result of the season was only 3:35.92 in Birmingham in May. But Kerr proved in Tokyo that once he reaches the final, he can automatically move up the gears, and it will not be surprising to return to the podium in Eugene.
Two-time World Indoor Championships 1500m champion Tefera
Ethiopia's Tefera is the past two Indoor World Championships 1500m champion and is striving for his first outdoor World Series medal. However, he has only participated in two outdoor 5000m races since winning in Belgrade in March, finishing second in Eugene and Oslo in 13:06.86 and 13:04.35 respectively.
Australian Ollie Hoare made a breakthrough this season: he won the runner-up in the mile in Oslo in a Oceania record of 3:47.48. He also finished fifth in the 1500m Indoor World Championships in Belgrade. After finishing 11th at the Tokyo Olympics in 3:35.79, he looks capable of making a medal push in Eugene.
U.S. Championship Champion Cooper Teare
Cooper Teare of the University of Oregon won the U.S. Championship in Hayward last month in 3:45.86 and finished in the Diamond League in Eugene. He finished sixth in the one-mile race with a time of 3:51.70. In February, he also set a personal best indoor mile of 3:50.17. Thiel, who plays at home, is worth looking forward to.
Men's 800m
Preliminary time: July 21, 8:20
Semi-final time: July 22, 10:00
Final time: July 24, 9:10
6Tokyo Olympics 800m gold medalist Emmanuel Collier
The men's 800m final of the Tokyo Olympics is a preview. If the final on July 23, local time, is the same, many players will likely compete for this gold medal.
Last year, Kenya’s Emmanuel Korir won the Olympic 800m gold medal with his outstanding 400m ability. He accelerated into the final corner, beating compatriot Ferguson Rotich and Poland's Patryk Dobek to win in 1:45.06.
However, this year, he has not shown the same dominance in the competition, and because he was the 800m champion in last year’s Diamond League Finals and has a wild card for the World Championships, Collier participated in the 400m competition in the Kenya trials and won the Won the championship in 44.87. He will do both at the world championships, and Hayward Track and Field is no stranger to him: In 2017, he won the 4800m title here in 1:45.03.

Collier will join three compatriots, Emmanuel Wanyonyi, Wyclife Kinyamal and Noah Kibet, in the hope of chasing the world record Following in the footsteps of David Rudisha, Kenya once again won the men's 800m gold medal at the World Championships - Rudisha won the World Championships twice in 2011 and 2015.
Kim Yamal, the 800m champion at the 2018 Commonwealth Games
Kim Yamal was the champion of this event at the 2018 Commonwealth Games. He won the championship in 1:43.54 at the Kenya Trials, beating the 17-year-old 800m champion at last year's U20 World Championships. Wan Yanyi, this is also the second best result in the world this season. Wan Yanyi, who still has a chance to defend the U20 World Championship gold medal, is determined to focus on the adult competition. He has proven that he is very suitable for this arena. This year, he has won five 800 meters and 1500 meters including the Diamond League Rabat Station. champion.
U20 World Championship 800m champion Wan Yanyi
And if Wan Yanyi reaches the finals in Eugene as he wishes, then although he was born on August 1, 2004, he is not the youngest World Championship 800m finalist, but he may become the youngest The men's 800 meters is even the youngest men's world championship winner.
The current young World Championship men’s 800m gold medalist is Ethiopia’s Mohammed Aman. In 2013, he won the championship in Moscow at the age of 19 years and 215 days; and the youngest World Championship men’s gold medal The winner is Ismael Kirui of Kenya. In 1993, he won the 5000m championship in Stuttgart in 1993 at the age of 18 years and 177 days.

This year, Kibet won the Diamond League Doha station with a time of 1:49.08, and then finished fourth in Ostrava with a personal season-best 1:44.89.
Donavan Brazier
Like Collier, there is also the previous champion, American Donavan Brazier, who enjoys the wild card of the World Championships. The 25-year-old Brazier won the world championship in Doha three years ago in a CONCACAF record time of 1:42.34, and despite being plagued by injuries this season, he decided to defend his world championship title on home soil.
html In May, Brazier finished sixth in the Diamond League Doha station with a time of 1:50.58. Last month, he won the first place in the preliminaries at the US Championships with a time of 1:46.49, but did not participate in the next competition.

Canada's Marco Arop
Canada's Marco Arop (Marco Arop) is the Pan American Games champion in 2019. This year he won the Diamond League Birmingham station with 1:45.41, and earlier this month he won the He ran the second-best personal time of 1:43.61 locally, which ranks third in the world this year.

Australia's Peter Bol
Australia's Peter Bol finished second in Paris in 1:44.00, setting a new Oceania record. At last year's Tokyo Olympics, Bol finished fourth in 1:45.92.
Tokyo Olympic bronze medalist and Polish player Dobek was once a 00m hurdles expert and won seventh place at the Beijing World Championships. Now he has moved to the 800m. Also moving to the 800m is Tony Vandy of the Netherlands. Tony van Diepen, Tokyo Olympics 4×400m relay silver medalist.

He also finished fifth at the 2017 London World Championships. , he lost to Wan Yanyi in the Diamond League Rabat Station and won the runner-up in 1:45.66.
Men's 3000m hurdles
Preliminary time: July 16, 8:15
Final time: July 19, 10:20
Ethiopia's Lamecha Gilma and Morocco's Sufian El Bakari
if past If his competition performance can be replicated on the stage of the World Championships, then the only candidates for the men’s 3000-meter obstacle course on July 18, local time, are Ethiopia’s Lamecha Girma and Morocco’s Sufian Eyre. Soufiane El Bakkali.
But almost everyone knows that those fast-paced commercial events are not the same as the World Championships. Players in the World Championships will more often start a cat-and-mouse game cautiously.
Tokyo Olympics champion Bakari
If the championship score is within 8 minutes, the high probability is still the same as the Tokyo Olympics, the gold medal will be between Gilma and Bakari; but the slower the pace of the game, the two of them will The more likely it is to be challenged by two heavyweight opponents from Kenya - Conseslus Kipruto and Benjamin Kigen. The tactics used by the players will likely determine the direction of the medals.
Kenyan athletes have dominated the event's world championship history. Since Moses Kiptanui won the first of three consecutive world championships in Tokyo in 1991, Kenyan players have won 13 of the past 15 world championships - in 2003 and 2005. , the championship fell twice to the world record holder Saif Saaeed Shaheen, who was born in Kenya and later became a Qatari citizen.
Rio Olympic champion Kipruto
Kipruto is the champion of this event in the past two world championships and is also the gold medalist of the Rio Olympics. Although his performance this season was mediocre, there is a precedent for this: In 2019, after suffering an ankle stress fracture, he came to Doha with a season's best time of only 8:13.75, but in the final he set the world's best time of the year. He defeated Gilma to win the championship with a time of 8:01.35; this year, his best result came from the fourth place in the Diamond League Rome Station with 8:08.76, more than 9 seconds behind Gilma who won the championship, and then ranked 8:18.21 in the Kenya trials. third.
He will join three compatriots Keegan, Leonard Bett and Abraham Kibiwott in Eugene. Kibivot finished second in Rome with a time of 8:06.73 and was the best Kenyan athlete this year; but in a relatively slow race, Keegan, the bronze medalist at the Tokyo Olympics, will be extremely dangerous.
Tokyo Olympics runner-up Gilma
However, Gilma seems unlikely to let this happen. Gilma finished second in Doha in 8:01.36, one hundredth of a second behind, and won the World Series silver medal again in Tokyo in 8:10.38. The 21-year-old seems to have the ability to score 8 points at a leisurely pace: earlier this year, he opened the 8-point mark three times in a row within 10 days.
But even so, it is difficult for Ethiopia to secure its first World Championships 3000-meter obstacle gold medal: In his career, Gilma competed with Morocco's Bakari seven times, and only won in the 2019 World Championships final. opponent once - but in that game, he lost to Kipruto by 0.01 seconds.
Therefore, the 26-year-old Bakari is the biggest favorite in the World Championships. He has skilled hurdles skills and strong endurance, as well as a strong sprint on the straight. He defeated Gilma in Tokyo last year in 8:08.90 and won the Olympic gold medal; in this year's Diamond League Doha Station and Rabat Station, he defeated Gilma twice more. In Rabat, he set a world best of 7:58.28 this season. score.
Bakari is undoubtedly the superstar of today's jump racing, but if anyone can beat him, it may have to rely on a fully fit Kipruto.
Unlike Gilma, Kipruto’s record against Bakari in this event is 11 wins and 8 losses. It is worth mentioning that the two met five times in the Olympics and World Championships, and Kipruto maintained an all-time record. win. If Kipruto can still hold on to the lead before the end of the game, he will become a strong contender for the championship, but Gilma may do everything possible to wear down his opponent beforehand.
Getnet Wale at the Doha World Championships
The Ethiopian players competing alongside Gilma are Hailemariyam Amare and Getnet Wale, so he It's possible to get support from your teammates and push the game into high gear, just like in Tokyo. Valle's personal best time is 8:05.21. He has excellent speed ability and holds the Ethiopian national record of 7:24.98 in the indoor 3000 meters.
In this year’s Diamond League Rome station, he finished third in 8:06.74. He was also the fourth place winner at the Tokyo Olympics and the Doha World Championships. To get on the podium at the World Series, Valer needs to further improve his level. Amare's goal should be similar. In early June, he first won the third place in the 3000m hurdles in 8:06.29 at the Diamond League Rabat Station, and then won the African Championships in Mauritius in the 3000m hurdles and 5000m double crown.
Local Evan Jager is the silver medalist at the Rio Olympics and bronze medalist at the World Championships in London. He trains in Portland, a two-hour drive from Eugene, for the first time in five years. Got huge support from his hometown crowd at the World Series. From 2012 to 2018, Jagger won seven consecutive championships in the U.S. Championships, and then suffered serious injuries. However, he finished second in the U.S. Championships last month in 8:17.29 and qualified for the World Championships.
U.S. Championship Hillary Bor
Winning this year’s U.S. Championship in 8:15.76 was Hillary Bor. This was also his third consecutive U.S. championship since 2019. Bol finished seventh in the Olympics in 2016 and eighth in the World Championships in 2019. He ran 8:12.19 in the Diamond League Rome this year. He is naturally eager to go further in front of the home crowd.
Italy’s Ahmed Abdelwahed finished sixth in Diamond League Rome in 8:10.29; India’s Avinash Mukund Sable ) finished fifth in the Diamond League Rabat station with a national record of 8:12.48. In May this year, he also set an Indian record of 13:25.65 in the 5,000 meters in the United States, which deserves attention.
Miura Ryuji in the Tokyo Olympics
Of course, the Asian athlete who deserves more attention is Japan's Ryuji Miura. After finishing seventh in the Tokyo Olympics last year in 8:16.90, the 20-year-old Miura finished in 1500 Develop strength on meters, 3000 meters and 5000 meters while strengthening speed and endurance.
has improved his personal best results of 1500 meters and 3000 meters to 3:36.59 and 7:47.98 this season, ranking second and fourth in Japan respectively. The best result of 5000 meters is 13:26.78 set last year. .
In this year’s Japan Championships, Miura Ryuji easily won two consecutive championships in 8:14.47. I wonder if he can challenge the Japanese record of 8:09.92 set in the Tokyo Olympics group stage in Eugene.
