The men’s 100m is set at a flat 10.00 s, while the women’s is 11.08 s. For the men’s 200m, it’s 20.16s, while the women’s 200m is 22.60s.
In the 400 m, athletes must run or exceed 45.00 and 51.00 for the male and female categories. And the 400mH have been set at 48.70s and 54.90s.
World record holder (WR) in the 100m hurdles, Tobi Amusan will find it easy to run 12.78s, even though she has already qualified as reigning world champion.
In the field events, meanwhile, Ruth Usoro and other jumpers will have their sights set on jumping the men’s 6.85m and 8.25m. That Brume has already qualified via his Commonwealth Games winning jump record of 7.00m.
