Entering the 2019 athletics season, the IAAF previously focused on the 9 major track and field stars worth paying attention to on the official website, in addition to specially introducing the 5 major king stars who urgently need to return to the field, they missed the entire season of 2018 due to injury, objectively providing a flat and unimpeded environment for the emergence of the new stars in athletics, but in the 2019 season, these king stars who will return from injuries must strive to keep their track and field seats, but also to deal with the challenges from the nova juniors, the back wave and the front wave of the Yangtze River, depending on whose wave is high.
NO.1 Wyd Van Nikek
Olympic 400m champion and world record holder after a major surgery in late 2017 after a serious knee injury in a rugby match, after which he had to give up all the competitions of the 2018 season, 2018 is a year without competitions, and usually many 400m Olympic champions do not recommend participating in too many competitions.
The young 26-year-old South African athlete has not competed since winning the silver medal in the 200m and the defending gold medal in the 400m at the World Championships in London on 10 August 2017. When he returns to the field this year, he will face many of the rising stars of 2018: Michael Norman, 21, who set an annual best of 43.61 seconds; Steven Gardner of the Bahamas, a silver medalist in the 400m at the 2017 World Championships in London, who has twice scored 44 seconds in the 2018 season; and Fred Kelly of the United States, who spent his first professional season fighting for the IAAF Diamond League title. In the 200m, Van Nieck also faces a supernova: Nash Lyles, who has run five times this season in the 200m faster than Van Nickeck's 19.84 PB, the fastest 19.65, the best time of 2018.

NO.2 Mutaz Issa Balsim
On July 2, 2018, at the Gyulai Memorial hall of SZ Kesfeh RV R in Hungary, the world high jump champion experienced the ups and downs of his season in just a few minutes. After a failed second attempt to break the world record at 2.45 meters, the 27-year-old Qataris suffered a serious ankle injury on his third attempt, and after falling into the thick canvas-cover cushion, Balheem wriggled his feet in pain and sneered helplessly, ending his season. Eight days later, he underwent surgery to repair the damaged ligament.
Despite the serious injuries, he is recovering well after the operation, and the upcoming World Athletics Championships in Doha, bachim, who is eager to pick up gold on his doorstep, hopes to make a full recovery.

NO.3 Torrey Bowie
Tori Bowie ushered in an explosive year in 2016, becoming the winner of three events at the Rio Olympics: gold in the 4x100m relay, silver in the 100m and bronze in the 200m. She excelled at the World Championships in London the following year, winning the 100m title and adding a gold medal to her and the U.S. team in the 4x100m relay.
But Bowie hasn't played since injured in eugene's Prifontein Classic on May 26, 2018, losing just four games in 2018. She is expected to return to the mirroz indoor race on 9 February 2019, where she will be the leader in the 60m race and she will have to know first-hand what she needs to do to prepare for the Doha World Championships nine months from now.

NO.4 Johanni Diez
For the most part, as we look forward to the arrival of the World Championship Year, it's not worth noting that a 40-year-old athlete starts playing again after an injury. But that's clearly not the case for Dietz, whose career has been defined by his incredible ability to recover from setbacks, and today happens to be his 41st birthday.
In fact, the 50 km race walk world record holder, born in the Champagne Centre,Efni is a lot like the best vintage of the best product in his hometown: getting better with age. At the age of 39, he dominated the entire race at the 2017 World Championships in London, taking the second fastest time of all time in 3:33:12 and winning with a lead of more than 8 points to win his first world title. His preparations went well ahead of the 2018 European Championships, where he would be the most popular runner for the fourth 50 km title. But a stress fracture of his pelvis in July hampered his ambitions, leaving him to give up for the rest of the year. With the World Championships in Doha looming, don't expect him to win the title again in the Doha competition.

NO.5 André de Grasse
Like Bowie, the Canadian sprint king won three medals at the Rio Olympics: silver in the 200m, bronze in the 100m and bronze in the 4x100m relay, with a personal best of 9.91 and 19.80 respectively. But instead of following in the footsteps of Usain Bolt, who beat him in the final in Rio de Janeiro, de Grasse struggled with injuries. A hamstring injury ended his season ahead of the preliminaries of the 2017 World Championships in London. A 2018 injury with mononucleosis slowed his recovery, and another hamstring injury at the National Championships in Canada in June forced him to give up the back race and end the season early.
De Grasse, 24, recently left his previous training base in Arizona for a new training base in Jacksonville, Florida, where he was mentored by renowned coach Renault and firmly focused on the 100m and 200m at the World Championships in Doha.
