Barring any surprises, these champions are expected to represent their countries at the upcoming European Team Championships. Hailing from five nations, Great Britain and Italy each claimed two golds, while Switzerland, France, and Sweden secured one apiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sweden\u2019s gold was won by pole vault superstar Armand &#8220;Mondo&#8221; Duplantis, arguably the most high-profile athlete in the sport. Duplantis clinched his third consecutive indoor world title and made history as the first man to surpass six meters more than 100 times\u2014finishing with 102 after a stunning 6.15m jump. His sights are now set on the European Team Championships, where he\u2019ll vault in front of Madrid\u2019s Royal Palace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Italy dominated the jumping events with two golds on the sand. Andy D\u00edaz triumphed in the triple jump, securing his first World Championship gold with an impressive 17.80m on his opening attempt. Meanwhile, 20-year-old Mattia Furlani claimed the long jump title with an 8.30m leap in one of the fiercest competitions of the championships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Great Britain celebrated two sprint victories. Jeremiah Azu led the men\u2019s 60 meters with a personal best of 6.49 in a final without a clear favorite. In contrast, Amber Anning\u2019s 400m gold (50.60) was widely anticipated. She avenged her defeat from the European Championships, adding her first senior world gold to an already remarkable collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Switzerland\u2019s Mujinga Kambundji won the women\u2019s 60 meters in a European-dominated final, clocking 7.04 to repeat her 2022 Belgrade victory\u2014hardly a shock to onlookers. Perhaps more surprising was France\u2019s Marie-Julie Bonnin, who soared to pole vault gold with a 4.75m jump, matching the national record. A bronze medalist at the Apeldoorn European Indoor Championships, Bonnin outshone her rivals in Nanjing to claim her first senior world title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SILVER MEDALS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eight silver medals were earned by athletes from 16 national teams slated to compete at Vallehermoso Stadium the last weekend of June. Five went to women and three to men, representing seven countries. Switzerland stood out with two silvers, leading the pack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Swiss standout Annik K\u00e4lin leaped 6.83m in the long jump, while Ditaji Kambundji\u2019s blistering 7.73 in the 60m hurdles\u2014bolstered by a superb 0.138 reaction time, the second-fastest among finalists\u2014earned her silver. Italy\u2019s Zaynab Dosso flipped a sluggish 0.180 reaction time in the 60m dash into a strong 7.06 finish for silver. Dutch shot putter Jessica Schilder, a reigning European indoor and outdoor champion, settled for second in Nanjing with a 20.07m throw after taking gold in Apeldoorn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Greece\u2019s Emmanouil Karalis set a national record of 6.05m in the pole vault but couldn\u2019t overcome Duplantis, earning silver. Similarly, Norway\u2019s Jakob Ingebrigtsen dominated the 1500m, leaving Britain\u2019s Neil Gourley (3:39.07) with a well-deserved second place. France\u2019s Wilhem Belocian clocked 7.54 in the 60m hurdles, finishing just 0.12 behind the unbeatable Grant Holloway for silver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>BRONZE MEDALS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nine bronze medals from Nanjing will be represented by nations competing in Vallehermoso from June 27\u201329. Unlike the silvers, the bronzes skewed toward women (six) over men (three) and hailed from seven countries. Spain led the charge with three podium finishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josu\u00e9 Canales made an impressive international debut in the 800m, while F\u00e1tima Diame secured her second consecutive world indoor bronze in the long jump. Ana Peleteiro-Compaor\u00e9 added a third world indoor bronze to her illustrious career, following Birmingham 2018 and Glasgow 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Europe\u2019s elite jumpers also shone. Ukraine\u2019s high jump world record holder Yaroslava Mahuchikh, just 23, completed her medal set\u2014gold in 2022, silver in 2024\u2014with a bronze in Nanjing. Switzerland\u2019s Angelica Moser capped a stellar winter with her first world podium finish in the pole vault, fresh off her European title in Apeldoorn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Portugal\u2019s Patr\u00edcia Silva debuted on the world stage with a stunning 800m bronze, shattering her national record by a second with 1:59.80. Great Britain\u2019s Georgia Bell Hunter confirmed her status as a middle-distance gem, taking 1500m bronze (3:59.84)\u2014a mark that ranks her fourth all-time in Europe and nearly toppled Laura Muir\u2019s national record (3:59.58).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hungary\u2019s men\u2019s 4x400m relay, led by European champion Attila Moln\u00e1r, claimed its first world medal and smashed the national record with 3:06.03. Finally, 22-year-old German heptathlete Till Steinforth capped his best season yet with a bronze, adding to his Apeldoorn European Champs medal from March.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The World Indoor Championships marked a spectacular end to the short track season, delivering outstanding results for national teams set to compete next June at the Vallehermoso Stadium during the European Team Championships.
