World Athletics Indoor Championship 2024
2024.03.02
The World Indoor Athletics Championship got underway early today (02), with Christian Coleman of America becoming victorious in the men’s 60-meter competition.
Sara Mitton of Canada won the women’s javelin throw competition yesterday evening (01) Sri Lanka time. She also achieved the greatest performance in the event this season. This year’s tournament began in Glasgow, Scotland. He succeeded in hurling the jag 20.22 meters in the air.
In the meantime, American sportsman Ryan Crouser broke the tournament record by winning the gold medal in the men’s javelin throw competition.
Meanwhile, the world’s top jumper, Yaroslava Mahuchikh of Ukraine, and the runner-up, Nicola Olyslagers of Australia, engaged in a tough competition in the women’s high jump event that took place early yesterday morning.
Mahuchikh led the female competitors there after making it to the height of 1.97 meters on her first three tries, but she was unsuccessful at 1.99 meters on her third try. However, Nicola, who had been in second place up until that point, won the gold medal in the event with her final try of clearing 1.99 meters.
It is particularly noteworthy because Nicola, who took home a silver medal in the women’s high jump competition at the 2020 Olympics, is winning her first gold medal at the international level.
The final event of the day was the men’s 60-meter race, which many had anticipated. Christian Coleman easily won the event despite the fact that Noah Lyles, the current world record holder, was predicted to have a difficult match.
Lyles came in second to Coleman, who finished the race in 6.44 seconds—the best time of the year—by a full second. Ackeem Blake, a Jamaican athlete, finished third in the competition with a timing of 6.46.
The athletics championship’s first day’s matches concluded in this manner, and the second day’s matches are set for this evening (02) and tomorrow morning (03) Sri Lanka time.
Particular attention will be paid to competitors like the men’s long jump champion Miltiadas Tentoglou of Greece, the women’s pole vault champion Katie Moon of the USA, the women’s 3000m competitor Gudaf Tesgay of Ethiopia, and the women’s 400m competitor Femke Bol of the Netherlands.
