Akani Simbine (100m), Wayde van Niekerk (200m and 400m), Antonio Alkana (110m hurdles), Luvo Manyonga (long jump), Lebogang Shange (20km walk), Carina Horn (200m) and Caster Semenya (800m) will all be eyeing silverware.</span></p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">But it’s Van Niekerk gunning for the 200m and 400m double that will be of most interest. Caster Semenya, as it stands, is also doubling up doing both the 800m and the 1,500m. Sunette Viljoen is out of the javelin event through injury while <a href=\"https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2016-08-14-luvo-manyonga-broke-a-deal-with-the-devil-and-decided-to-jump-rather-than-die/\">Luvo Manyonga</a> will continue his quest to become the first man to jump 9m, having recovered from an injury of his own.</span></p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">The World Championships follows a similar format to the Olympics: prelim rounds preceding semis and finals. <i>Daily Maverick</i> will be offering a daily digest of who is running, but to get you started, here’s a full list of competitors, their events, their best efforts in 2017 (as well as the world best) and all the scheduled times for all the events in that category.</span></p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\"></span></p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"//images.www.dailymaverick.co.za/images/resized_images/750x513q70750_akani_simbine.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Akani Simbine of South Africa, and Brijesh Lawrence of Saint Kitts and Nevis compete during the men's 100m heats of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games Athletics, Track and Field events at the Olympic Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 13 August 2016.
