The World Athletics Indoor Championships 2026 is back in Torun with Team GB eyeing up success in a year without an Olympic Games or outdoor World Championships.
Josh Kerr will hope to land another gold in the men’s 3,000m after claiming gold in Glasgow two years ago, but he’ll have to topple his 1,500m nemesis from the Paris Games in the USA’s Cole Hocker. Jeremiah Azu took home a stunning gold in the last edition of World Indoors, with a sizzling men’s 60m win in Nanjing, China last year, but the Briton will have his work cut out this year with Jamaica's Kishane Thompson and the USA's Jordan Anthony and Trayvon Bromell providing stiff competition.
Amber Anning won women’s 400m gold last year, too, but she’ll skip this week’s championships to focus on the outdoor championships, with the Commonwealth Games and European Championships to come.
Keely Hodgkinson will be expected to land gold in the women’s 800m, while teammate Georgia Hunter Bell will also hope to claim glory in the women’s 1,500m.
