Jonathan Edwards will be hoping to retain the crown which he won at Gothenburg two years ago, although he will face tough opposition from last year's Olympic gold medallist Kenny Harrison.
In the men's 800m final Denmark's
Wilson Kipketer is the favourite to retain histitle, after recently equalling
