These 25 athletes will look to add to an already staggering haul that The Bowerman has pulled in at the IAAF World Championships over the years.
Since the 2011 IAAF World Championships in Daegu, South Korea, 13 past winners of The Bowerman have combined for five World Championships and 17 total World Championship medals. If you extend that reach to past finalists, those numbers increase to 11 World Championships and 34 total World Championship medals.
Needless to say, we’re excited to see The Bowerman shine on the world stage once again.
