Nicola Olyslagers nee McDermott is set to take on the world’s best high jumpers in this year’s World Athletics Championships and fans can watch it live.
The 2023 World Athletic Championships are being held in Budapest, Hungary, this year.
Chair of World Athletics Sebastian Coe, himself a former world class athlete, said this year marked the 40th anniversary of the World Championships.
“Back then, few would have imagined that these championships would have gone from roughly 1500 athletes from 130 countries to tipping 2000 athletes and about 200 countries,” he said.
For Coasties who want to watch Nicola and others compete, streaming is available in Australia on the SBS Demand app.
Olyslagers is currently ranked number two in the world, just behind Yaroslava Mahuchinkh.
