Athletics Weekly Predicted Ethiopia Will Finish Third in World Athletics Championships

AW looks ahead to the IAAF World Championships in Moscow with event-by-event prediction charts and a medal table.
The world’s greatest athletes will be on the hunt for medals in Moscow from August 10-18 as the IAAF World Championships are held in the Russian city for the first time.

There’s so much going on over the nine days of action you’d be forgiven for not knowing exactly who to watch out for in every single event. Make sure you grab a copy of this week’s AW (pictured, right) as it includes 28 pages of in-depth event-by-event previews plus facts, stats, an event timetable and an interview with Mo Farah, while the below may also come in handy as a bit of a guide.
