TOKYO -- The World Athletics Championships are underway and there's no shortage of Australians in action on night one of track and field competition in Japan, many of them backing up from the Olympic Games in Paris last summer.
This evening we have Swede megastar Mondo Duplantis and Australia's Kurtis Marschall in action in the men's pole vault qualification, Jess Hull racing the 1500m heats, and both Lauren Ryan and Izzi Batt-Doyle contesting the 10000m final.
