Who will step up in Taylor's absence?published at 01:02 British Summer Time 3 August 2021
Men's triple jump
With double Olympic and four-time world triple jump champion Christian Taylor absent from the men's triple jump competition after rupturing his Achilles tendon in May, who will claim glory in Tokyo?
It could very well be Hugues Fabrice Zango of Burkina Faso, who set a new indoor world record in January and became just the seventh man in history to clear 18m.
There are two qualification groups, with the first just getting under way. A qualifying performance of 17.05m is required to guarantee a final place.
GB's 2009 world youth champion Ben Williams is in Group B.
