“Overcoming pre-race challenges made the achievement even more remarkable”
Jordan Anthony delivered a stunning performance to win the men’s 60m gold at the World Athletics Indoor Championships 2026 in Toruń.
The 21-year-old clocked an impressive 6.41 seconds, one of the fastest times in history. He finished ahead of Kishane Thompson and Trayvon Bromell in a tightly contested final.
The race was extremely close, with only a small margin separating the top athletes. However, Anthony’s explosive start and strong finish helped him secure the gold medal.

This win marks Anthony’s first major global title and confirms his rise as one of the brightest young talents in sprinting. The performance also puts him among the fastest sprinters in the world.
Overall, it was a breakthrough moment for the young American, who has now established himself on the international stage.
