Who competed
Aleksandra Mirosław
Poland

Aleksandra Mirosław

A legend of the discipline in her farewell season - every start could be her last on home-continent soil, and she is still fast enough to win.

4.54

At 16-17 he already owns the world record and is the clear favorite every time he steps to the wall. The first sub-4.5s run may well be his.

Emma Hunt
United States

Emma Hunt

5.99

The fastest woman in history and the standard-bearer for the USA speed program heading toward LA28, even though the Kraków gold slipped away after her record run.
