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]
As Saint Kitts and Nevis 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 Cayman Islands Athletic Association selected sprinter Nadale Buntin who held a personal best of 20.49 seconds and was ranked 98th in the world at the time of his selection for the Championships.[3] This was Buntin's first appearance for Saint Kitts and Nevis at the World Athletics Championships.[4]
