Various athletes have however experienced challenges in traveling due to delayed visas to the United States.
Africa’s 100m record holder Ferdinand Omanyala and 10,000 metres star Sheila Chepkirui together with some of Team Kenya officials were among those affected by the delays.
According to a statement issued by the World Athletics, event organizers were working on solutions to have athletes travel to the USA.
"The Oregon 22 organizing committee and World Athletics are working closely with the USOPC to follow up on Visa applications, the majority of which have been successfully resolved. We continue to follow up with those outstanding visa issues.
"International travel, in general, has become more challenging due to the pandemic and we are extremely grateful for the help and experience of the USOPC in helping to resolve issues that have come up in the last few weeks," World Athletics statement read.
Omanyala found reprieve on Thursday, July 14 after receiving his visa and he is expected to arrive barely three hours before his race.
