Aruba competed at the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary, which were held from 19 to 27 August 2023. The athlete delegation of the country was composed of one competitor, middle-distance runner Justice Dreischor who would compete in the men's 800 metres. He qualified upon being selected by the Aruba Athletic Federation. Dreischor placed ninth in his heat and did not advance to the finals.
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]
As Aruba did not meet any of the four standards, they could send either one male or one female athlete in one event of the Championships who has not yet qualified.[2] The Aruba Athletic Federation selected middle-distance runner and software engineer Justice Dreischor, who broke a seven year old national record, before the World Championships in the men's 800 metres with a time of 1:56.42 at a competition in Utrecht.[3][4]
