# Athletics: Australia suffered a double injury blow shortly before the start of the world championships in Tokyo. The second Australian to break the ten-second barrier in the 100-metre in May, Lachlan Kennedy, has a stress fracture in his lower back, while race-walker Jemima Montag, who won two bronze medals at last year’s Olympic Games in Paris, injured her leg in training and decided to have surgery. The championships start in the Japanese capital on the 13th of next month.
