First time in history!

Spanish “track motorist” Mariano Garcia secured 1500 metres gold in a pedestrian race in Torun by defeating favourite Isaac Nader.

He became first 800-1500 double winner at the Championships history. (Won 800m gold in Belgrade 2022).

JOSH KERR - WORLD INDOOR 3000M CHAMPION

#WORLDINDOORS

This 400m format for the finals is deeply unimpressive. All the drama is gone #worldindoors #worldindoorschamps

a garbage can with the words get in the bin written on it Alt: a garbage can with the words get in the bin written on it

I tried to give it a chance but the new 400m rules at the #worldindoors are stupid.

And the 'beanbags of humiliation' can get in the sea too.

Co-finals? Racing against the clock? No idea who gets what medal until end of the 2nd race? And a massive advantage to the athletes running 2nd?

Rubbish.

Ingebrigtsen at the double as Charlton shines at world indoors Jakob Ingebrigtsen claimed a rare track double to light up the world indoor championships on Sunday, as Devynne Charlton defended her 60m hurdles title in style. Ingebrigtsen, who had won the 3,000m on Saturday for his first world indoor title, clocked 3min 38.79sec to win the 1,500m and emulate the double claimed by Ethiopian legend Haile Gebrselassie in Maebashi in 1999. The Norwegian, however, insisted that he had not been motivated by history, saying Gebrselassie’s feat had been achieved “a long time ago”. “Following in the footsteps? Can we say that? Probably not,” he said. “It would be difficult to follow in the footsteps. I think they’re probably not that visible anymore. “It’s very difficult to compare history.” The victory also meant Ingebrigtsen finally bagged a world title over the 1,500m, having already won three silvers (two outdoor, one indoor). Charlton later stormed to a brilliant defence of her short hurdles title, the world record holder from the Bahamas timing 7.72sec for the win in a close finish. “It was a big deal for me to come here and show up, defend my title. It was a big goal for me,” said Charlton, with the next five finishers all streaming across the line within four-hundredths of a second. “The women always show up in track and field,” she added. “To come away with a win against these ladies, it’s really cool.” Charlton, who set a world record of 7.65sec when winning in Glasgow last year, was followed home by Switzerland’s Ditaji Kambundji, whose sister Mujinga won the 60m flat in the Chinese city. – Superb Skotheim – Ethiopia’s Gudaf Tsegay defended her 1,500m title with some brio, a solo run seeing her come home in a championship record of 3:54.86, not off her own world record. Tsegay’s teammate Diribe Welteji claimed silver with Britain’s Georgia Hunter Bell in bronze. American Josh Hoey, second in the all-time list behind Wilson Kipketer, blasted to victory in the men’s 800m in 1:44.77 to underline his promise in a season that culminates at the world outdoor championships in Tokyo in September. Hoey was pushed all the way and won just four-hundredths ahead of Belgium’s Eliott Crestan, with Spain’s Elvin Josue Canales taking third place. The four-lap race for the women was won in a world lead of 1:58.40 by surprise South African package Prudence Sekgodiso ahead of Ethiopian Nigist Getachew and Portgual’s Patricia Silva. The field events saw Italian Mattia Furlani upgrade his Glasgow long jump silver to gold with a best effort of 8.30m, just 2cm separating him from Jamaican silver medallist Wayne Pinnock and Australian Liam Adcock. Defending champion Miltiadis Tentoglou of Greece, the double Olympic gold medallist and world outdoor champion, finished fifth with 8.14m in his thus far unusually faltering season. New Zealand’s Tom Walsh will take the men’s shot put gold home after winning with a best of 21.65m ahead of the US pair of Roger Skeen and Adrian Piperi. Norway’s Sander Skotheim claimed gold in the men’s heptathlon, having accumulated 6,475 points to finish 38pts ahead of Estonia’s Johannes Erm, with Germany’s Till Steinforth taking bronze. Skotheim opened with 6.97sec in the 60m before managing bests of 8m in the long jump, 14.68m in the shot put and 2.13m in the high jump. The Norwegian then clocked 7.93sec in the 60m hurdles, went over 5m in the pole vault and timed 2:36.08 in the thigh-busting 1km finale. The US men and women’s 4x400m relay teams wrapped up the three days of action in Nanjing’s Cube with double gold to leave the Americans atop the medal table with 16 (six gold, four silver, six bronze) as a total of 32 nations medalled.

Duplantis ‘grinds’ for gold as stellar trio headline electrifying world indoors Armand ‘Mondo’ Duplantis headlined three modern-day greats of track and field to glory in an electrifying night of action at the world indoor championships in Nanjing on Saturday. Duplantis was pushed all the way by Greece’s Emmanouil Karalis in a battle royale before bagging a third world indoor pole vault gold with a best of 6.15m. “We put on a good show for everybody,” said Duplantis. “It’s great to be pushed and I’m happy for Manolo (Karalis). I had to grind for it tonight. “It’s good for me especially and it’s just great competition. It’s just such a higher level than what pole vault’s ever been, so it’s good. You just have to want it.” It was a truly pulsating competition, echoed in the men’s 3,000m won by a hair’s breadth by Norway’s multi-medalled Jakob Ingebrigtsen, incredibly for his first world indoor title. The victory kept alive his tilt at a first world indoor 1,500/3,000m double since Ethiopian legend Haile Gebreselassie achieved the feat in 1999. The 1,500m final is scheduled for 1215 GMT on Sunday. “My competitors study me, but you have to race many times to be able to respond in all scenarios,” said Ingebrigtsen, who pipped Ethiopia’s Berihu Aregawi at the line in a dramatic, fast-finishing race. “I’ve done a lot of racing but I’m not perfect. It’s all about learning. The more you race, the more you learn, so you can make the right decisions at the right point to increase the possibility of winning. “I don’t enjoy the 1,500m warm-up, but the racing is a lot of fun, and that’s what I’m going to do tomorrow – have a lot of fun!” The third of the stellar trio on show was Grant Holloway, the American claiming an unprecedented third successive 60m hurdles victory that extended his indoor win streak to 94 races dating back a remarkable 11 years to when he was 16 years old. “This one was a little bit different,” said Holloway. “I didn’t have two great rounds and had to rely on my experience to get me through the final. But I knew what I had to do, I knew what I was missing.” “Epic showdowns on the banks of the Yangtze River” was one of the slogans brandished around Nanjing’s Cube. And so it proved to be as Duplantis battled Karalis, Ingebrigtsen elbowed it out with Aregawi, and Holloway saw off Wilhem Belocian, the three winners handing out master classes in the art of holding your nerve when the pressure ramps up. Kambundji claims 60m crown There were five other golds up for grabs in the Chinese city. Switzerland’s Mujinga Kambundji produced a savage dip to regain the 60m crown she last won in Belgrade in 2022, clocking 7.04sec to see off Italy’s European champion Zaynab Dosso by two-hundredths of a second. “Every win is always good for the confidence,” the Swiss racer said. “It shows me that we’re doing a lot of things right because not every year is the same. You can’t just take one recipe and do it every year. “You always have to adapt on how you feel, so I’m really happy to see that my coach can feel what I need, and we can do what’s optimal for me.” Ethiopia’s Freweyni Hailu won the women’s 3,000m in 8:37.21, American Shelby Houlihan — just two months after returning from a four-year doping ban — edging Austrian Jessica Hull for silver by two-hundredths. There was a Cuban one-two in the women’s triple jump, Leyanis Perez Hernandez taking gold with a first-effort 14.93m ahead of Liadagmis Povea and Spain’s Ana Peleteiro-Compaore. Amber Anning ensured a first British gold in the women’s 400m by edging American Alexis Holmes by three-hundredths for the win in 50.60sec, Norway’s Henriette Jaeger taking bronze. The US men made up for Holmes’ silver by sweeping the men’s 400m, Christopher Bailey winning in 45.08sec ahead of Brian Faust and Jacory Patterson.
