Josh Kerr, the world 1500m champion, has given British athletics a major boost by deciding to run in the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Glasgow that start on 1 March.
The 26-year-old Scot, who last week shattered Mo Farah’s world two-mile indoor best by nearly three seconds, had been undecided over whether to compete given his overwhelming focus for 2024 is on the Paris Olympics and he trains in the United States. However, he has now opted to run in the 3,000m, where he is likely to face an immensely strong field that could include the world indoor record holder, Lamecha Girma of Ethiopia, as well as the fast improving US champion, Yared Nuguse.
