Panama competed at the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary, from 19 to 27 August 2023. The athlete delegation of the country was composed of two competitors, hurdler Gianna Woodruff and sprinter Alonso Edward. Woodruff qualified after she had achieved a time that was within the qualifying standard while Edward qualified through his World Athletics Ranking.

Contents

Woodruff was the first competitor for the nation, competing in the heats of the women's 400 metres hurdles. She finished third in the heat and advanced to the semifinals. In the semifinals, she placed fifth in her round and did not advance to the finals. Edward then competed in the heats of the men's 200 metres but was eliminated in the heats.

Background

The 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary, were held from 19 to 27 August 2023. The Championships were held at the National Athletics Centre. [1] To qualify for the World Championships, athletes had to reach an entry standard (e.g. time or distance), place in a specific position at select competitions, be a wild card entry, or qualify through their World Athletics Ranking at the end of the qualification period. [2]

Hurdler Gianna Woodruff qualified after she had recorded a time of 54.46 seconds in the women's 400 metres during the qualification period, which was within the entry standard of 54.90 seconds. Sprinter Alonso Edward did not achieve an entry standard-setting time but was ranked high enough and thus qualified. [3] Edward had already won a medal for the nation at the Championships, winning a silver medal in the men's 200 metres at the 2009 World Championships in Athletics. [4]
