World champion Dalilah Muhammad, world record-holder Sydney McLaughlin and European indoor champion Femke Bol stayed on course for a gripping Olympic showdown in women's 400 metres hurdles as athletics entered day two of competitions in Tokyo.
Muhammad, McLaughlin and Bol were not bothered by the hot and humid conditions and aced their heats to safely advance to Monday's semi-finals, lifting the spirits following the exit of Okagbare, who was scheduled to compete in the 100m semi-finals later. "When you are lined up with the best in the world, that in itself is enough for me to keep me going and keep that competitive edge."
The men's 800m contenders were also safely through to the semi-finals with the event set to crown a new winner in Tokyo for the first time since 2012, after double Olympic gold medallist Kenyan David Rudisha's injuries kept him out.
