In a very uneven competition, some of the world's best athletes promise top performances in Bydgoszcz (Poland) from Friday to Sunday, including Germany's Malaika Mihambo (length), Poland's Piotr Lisek (pole) and Swedish Daniel Stahl (record).

- Malaika Mihambo -

Still no medalist internationally (4th of the Games in 2016), the German became 25 years the world boss of the long jump. While she had never jumped at 7m, she raised her record to 7.16m on Sunday in Berlin, her fourth contest at over 7m this season, a feat not seen since 2012 (Brittney Reese of the United States). ).

Malaika Mihambo relies on an important work of speed (record of 11 sec 21 realized this year on 100 m) and advances in favor for the Worlds of Doha (September 27 - October 6).

- Piotr Lisek -

The roaring Pole, who utters an animal scream before every jump, is a favorite in front of his audience as he has twice crossed the symbolic 6m mark this season, raising his record to 6.01 and then 6.02m in one week in Lausanne (July 5th) then in Monaco (July 12th).

In a buzzing discipline where American Sam Kendricks became the 3rd best performer of all time on July 27 (6.06m), Lisek (26) should be pushed by French world record holder Renaud Lavillenie in full swing progression (5.85 m) after a late recovery due to injury.

- Daniel Stahl -

The Swedish colossus (2m, 145kg) outrageously dominates the world discus throw. He became the 4th best performer of all time on June 29 in Bottnaryd (Sweden) with a throw at 71.86m, a performance not seen for more than 10 years.

Sweden is counting on 26-year-old Daniel Stahl to try to remain in the first division of these team championships, while five out of twelve nations are committed to relegation.
