Britain's Katarina Johnson-Thompson is fourth after the first two events of the heptathlon in the first session of the 2023 World Athletics Championships.
Having been hampered by injury in the run-up to the championships in Budapest, European indoor champion Sawyers managed only 6.41m in the qualification round and finished 22nd, with the top 12 progressing."I don't think my injuries were limiting me today. I think it's more that because I've been injured, I haven't been able to do the training."
Another American, Chari Hawkins, is third on 2,134 points, with the event continuing on Saturday evening with the shot put and 200m. British captain Muir was a comfortable second in her 1500m heat behind Dutch runner Sifan Hassan, who is attempting a 1500m, 5,000m and 10,000m treble in Hungary.
