Olympics.com selects ten athletes, five men and five women, who could challenge the favourites and break through to win their first major international medal at the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary (19-27 August).

This list excludes athletes who have previously won medals at the senior World Championships or the Olympic Games. Athletes are arranged alphabetically by last name.
