The 2025 World Track and Field Championships air on NBC Sports and Peacock from Sept. 13-21 in Tokyo.

Noah Lyles, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone eye history at 2025 World Track and Field Championships
Olympic 100m champion Noah Lyles bids to become the second sprinter to sweep the 100m and 200m at consecutive World Championships after Usain Bolt, who did so in 2013 and ’15.
But Jamaican Kishane Thompson, who was edged by Lyles for Paris Olympic gold by .005, ran the world’s fastest 100m in a decade in June — 9.75 seconds.
In the 200m, Lyles can match Bolt’s record of four world titles in the event. Lyles is the world’s fastest 200m sprinter in 2025 (19.63). At the Diamond League Final on Aug. 28, he edged Olympic 200m gold medalist Letsile Tebogo of Botswana by .02.
McLaughlin-Levrone, the two-time Olympic champion and world record holder in the 400m hurdles, switched to the flat 400m this year. She will bid to become the first person to win world titles in both one-lap events, having already taken the hurdles crown in 2022.
McLaughlin-Levrone is the world’s third-fastest woman in 2025 in the 400m (48.90), trailing Olympic silver medalist Salwa Eid Naser of Bahrain (48.67) and Olympic gold medalist Marileidy Paulino of the Dominican Republic (48.81).
In other events, Grant Holloway can become the first man to four-peat in the 110m hurdles.
Kenyan Faith Kipyegon eyes another sweep of the women’s 1500m and 5000m, an unprecedented feat when she achieved it at the last worlds in 2023.
Jamaican Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, who owns a record seven global 100m titles between the Olympics and worlds, will compete in the last meet of her career at age 38.
The world’s fastest woman this year is Melissa Jefferson-Wooden, who already in 2025 became the second American to run sub-10.67 twice in her career after world record holder Florence Griffith-Joyner.
Melissa Jefferson-Wooden saved her dad’s life when she was 17 years old.
