The 2015 IAAF World Championships continue from Beijing, with Day 6 featuring four medal events.
Usain Bolt vs. Justin Gatlin in the men’s 200m is obviously the headliner. The two superstars were easily the biggest names heading into the World Championships, and their massive rivalry grew exponentially earlier this week when Bolt narrowly edged the controversial American by 0.01 seconds for gold in the 100:
The 200 should be similarly full of fireworks. Bolt is the world-record holder, three-time defending world champion and two-time defending Olympic champion, but Gatlin has been the best in 2015. His seasonal best is 19.57 seconds, while Bolt, who has struggled with injuries, set a 2015 best of 19.95 in the semifinals.
Other medal events on the day are the women’s hammer throw, men’s triple jump and women’s 400m.
The latter is undoubtedly the most intriguing of the three, as American Allyson Felix goes for her maiden title in the event. Felix has long dominated the 200m, but she has just one major medal–a silver at the 2011 World Championships–in the 400. Of the women in the final, she has the best seasonal best, with a time of 49.89.
Felix’s main competition will come from defending champion Christine Ohurogu and 21-year-old sensation Shaunae Miller.
Here’s a look at when and where to catch all of Day 6’s action.
