Sam Kendricks is out due to a positive COVID-19 test, there goes half of the awesome atmosphere which has been surrounding the pole vault lately
Jakob Ingebrigtsen has decided not to do the 5km and will focus entirely on the 1500m. Taoufik Makhloufi has withdrawn and said an injury is the reason, so we will see him compete just as often as we have in 2017, 2018, 2020 and 2021 combined. Oh well.
Dafne Schippers is out of the 100m, there goes a nice 7th place in one of the semis.
