Startlists are up for the first day.

Well, this sure is something new. The Hungarian athlete in the 100m prelims will look a bit out of place. 

 

 

But hey, this is one of those very rare sprint races where a Hungarian can actually qualify to the next round.

Polish athletics chief Tomasz Majewski basically confirmed Natalia Kaczmarek will skip the mixed relay due to "medal priorities".

Good decision.

Really wondered whether the only registered athlete (women's 100m H) will actually compete or not. She's already took a flight to China with the whole team for Asian Games training camp hosted by the Chinese association
