World Athletics Indoor Championships in Nanjing starts March 21

The World Athletics Indoor Championships will be held in Nanjing, China, from March 21 to 23, 2025. This event is significant as it is the first major global track and field competition after the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. More than 500 athletes from over 120 countries are expected to compete. Athletes will compete for 26 gold medals in various track and field events. Several Olympic champions are set to participate, including Mondo Duplantis in pole vault and Grant Holloway in the 60m hurdles. Other notable names include Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Yaroslava Mahuchikh, who are both looking to showcase their talents. Fans can look forward to possible world record attempts. Duplantis may try to break his own pole vault record of 6.27m. Mahuchikh, the high jump record holder, will also compete after her recent European victory. Key events to watch include the men’s and women’s 60m races, the men’s 1500m and 3000m where Ingebrigtsen aims for double wins, and the competitive field events. Notably, Duplantis will face strong challengers like Emmanouil Karalis in the pole vault. Viewers can watch the championships live on the World Athletics website, and through various broadcasters worldwide. The event provides athletes a chance to test their skills early in the season, ahead of the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo later in September 2025.
