The start of the men’s 20 km walk, the first event of the Budapest World Athletics Championships, has been postponed by two hours due to a storm, organizers announced on Saturday. Dark skies threaten Budapest and Heroes’ Square, where the road races take place during the Worlds. The morning session scheduled at the stadium is not affected, the organizers said, and should start at 10:30 a.m. with the shot put qualifications.
