With her result, McLaughlin would have overtaken two athletes in the 400-meter hurdles final.
American Michael Norman triumphed in the men’s one-lap race with a result of 44.29 seconds, easing the disappointment of fifth place at the Tokyo Olympics.
2011 world champion Kirani James from Grenada won silver with 44.48 seconds, while British Matthew Hudson-Smith took bronze (44.66).
World record holder Wayde van Niekerk of South Africa, who won gold at the Rio Olympics in 43.03 seconds, finished fifth (44.97).
In the qualification of the pole vault competition, the main favorite world record holder from Sweden Armands Duplantis easily entered the main competition, who managed two successful jumps at a height of 5.65 and 5.75 meters.
“I didn’t want to do too many jumps,” said Duplantis, who set the stadium world record at 6.16m in Stockholm last month. “I just wanted to get into the main event safely. First of all, I want to win. This is the most important thing. If I can jump high, I will jump high. It would be nice, but gold is the most important thing for me right now.”
Also, the winner of the London Olympic Games and the five-time medalist of the world championships, the Frenchman Renaud Lavilleny, also entered the main competition, but the three-time medalist of the world championship races, the Pole Piotr Lisek, did not qualify.
Finally, the two American 4×100 meter relay teams will run in the final, which previously had big problems with passing the baton and withdrawals or disqualifications.
Team USA held a relay team training camp especially before the World Championships so that the athletes could improve their baton passing skills.
