Background The 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary, were held from 19 to 27 August 2023. The Championships were held at the National Athletics Centre. 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 the 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 Garcia who held a personal best of 10.50 seconds in the 100 metres prior to the Championships. This was Garcia's third consecutive appearance for Honduras at the World Athletics Championships, competing previously in 2022 and 2019. Outside of competitive sport, Garcia works as a football coach and IT analyst. Results
Men Garcia competed in the preliminaries of the men's 100 metres on 19 August against seven other athletes in the third heat. There, he recorded a time of 10.96 seconds and placed fourth, failing to advance to the first round.
