Asher-Smith won the 100m, 200m, and 4x100m relay in Berlin four years ago, and having sat out the recent Commonwealth Games, the sprinter is hoping to defend all three titles. Perkovic, meanwhile, is chasing a remarkable sixth consecutive European title in the discus, and Duplantis, the reigning Olympic and world pole vaulting champion, comes to Munich 2022 fresh from setting a new world record.
Three-time European champion Barbora Spotakova continues to defy time, and remains one of the favorites in the women’s javelin at the age of 41, while an almighty battle is brewing in the men’s discus, where newly crowned world champion Kristjan Ceh will throw down against Olympic champion Daniel Stahl.
Long-jumper Malaika Mihambo is carrying Germany’s hopes on her back. But having won pretty much everything there is to be won, she’s now eyeing the world record set by Galina Chistyakova in 1988.
