Background The 2019 World Athletics Championships in Doha, Qatar, were held from 27 September to 6 October 2019. The Championships were held at the Khalifa International Stadium. 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.
As Honduras 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. The Honduran National Athletics Federation selected sprinter Melique García who would compete in the men's 100 metres. In the lead-up to the Championships, Salazar held a personal best of 10.50 seconds and a season's best of 10.76 seconds in the event.
