One misstep, one stray shoelace can be enough to send even the finest athletes sprawling across the track, and out of Paris.

Karsten Warholm is The Man in this event. The 400m hurdler broke the world record which had stood for 29 years in 2021, before shaving almost a full second off that record a month later at Tokyo 2020.

Expect plenty of drama across the four men's and women's events once the track and field proceedings get under way at the Stade de France.
