Georgia Hunter Bell and Molly Caudery will hope to continue the British success at the World Athletics Indoor Championships after Jeremiah Azu’s first world title.
The sprinter blasted to victory over 60m on the opening day of action in Nanjing to add a global gold to the continental success he secured in Apeldoorn last week.
Building on last week’s European Championships, the event is a key stepping-stone to the highlight of the season, this September’s World Championships in Tokyo.
Hunter Bell will be looking to put the disappointment of the European Championships behind her after illness hampered her preparation and she failed to win a medal in the 1500m, despite being hotly tipped for gold. Team-mate and European bronze medallist Revee Walcott-Nolan will also be in action.
Caudery is the defending champion in the pole vault and opted to skip last week’s event to manage a minor calf injury, but is in blistering form, having comfortably won theWorld Athletics Indoor Tour Gold in Madrid in late February with a clearance of 4.85m. Her counterpart in the men’s event, Olympic sensation Mondo Duplantis, will also be competing for yet more glory in Nanjing.
Neil Gourley is in action over 1,500m - aiming to deprive the all-conquering Jakob Ingebritsen of another double gold over both the 1,500m and 3,00m - but George Mills, silver medallist over 3,00m in Apeldoorn, has pulled out due to injury.
