Tokyo 2020: Athletics full schedule, Great Britain athletes and Olympic Games favourites

The Tokyo 2020 Olympics athletics is well underway.

It has been a challenging meet for Great Britain with injury putting paid to two of the top medal hopes.

Dina Asher-Smith was among the favourites in the 100m and 200m but an injury saw her bow out before Katarina Johnson-Thompson suffered a similar fate in the heptathlon.

In all there are 48 medal events in athletics, including a mixed relay event for the first time at an Olympics - two men and two women will compete for each nation in a 4x400m mixed relay.
