Few athletes competing in Doha will be as short-priced a favourite as Mariya Lasitskene. The Russian, who has been unable to represent her country since their ban in 2015, has lost just four times in four years and sits comfortably atop the global rankings.

For a while it looked as though reigning champion Justin Gatlin would be favourite to successfully defend his world title aged 37, but his fellow American Christian Coleman’s return after anti-doping proceedings against him were dropped means he is undoubtedly the man to beat.

The Diamond League final in Zurich last month produced one of the greatest men’s 400m hurdles races of all time with Norway’s Karsten Warholm pipping American Rai Benjamin by just 0.06 seconds to move second on the all-time list.

If athletics is still looking for the man to replace Usain Bolt as the global superstar at its helm, Noah Lyles stands a fine chance of filling the void. The American has broken 19.80 seconds an amazing five times this year and his personal best 19.50sec put him fourth all time.

The absence of Shaunae Miller-Uibo - who is unbeaten in two years - due to a timing clash is a massive shame, but it presents a huge opportunity for Dina Asher-Smith to win gold for Britain.

Having been denied the chance to complete a 200/400m double due to a scheduling clash, Bahamian Olympic champion Shaunae Miller-Uibo will be desperate to win gold here. She is the fastest woman in the world, this year but faces tricky competition from Bahrain’s Salwa Eid Naser.
