"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.
