Wednesday, 3 March 2021 European Athletics will stage the first multi-discipline championships in the sport since the arrival of the coronavirus pandemic when the 36 th edition of its Indoor Championships start at the Torun Arena in Poland tomorrow. Among the world-class athletes who will be taking advantage of this landmark opportunity will be Norway’s 20-year-old European 1500 and 5,000 metres champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen, who will seek to earn the 1500-3,000m double that just eluded him at these Championships in Glasgow two years ago. On that occasion, having won the 3,000m title, Ingebr...

Monday, 1 March 2021 The old insult about "fans with typewriters" was not coined without reason. As a member of the press - I believe I may still use that term? - you are supposed to report the truth - I believe this concept still exists? - without bias. Or at least to try.

Tuesday, 16 February 2021 Grant Holloway, the world 110 metres hurdles champion, will have a world record in his sights again as he competes tomorrow in the Polish venue  of Torun in the fifth of this season’s World Athletics Indoor Tour Gold meetings.

Unlike many of his United States colleagues who shone at the fourth Gold meeting in New Y...

Tuesday, 2 February 2021 Former world indoor champion Gianmarco Tamberi of Italy took the Banskobystrická latka title after defeating defending champion Luis Zayas of Cuba in Banská Bystrica in Slovakia. Tamberi continued his strong start to the season, which saw him take victory on home soil in Ancona last weekend with a world leading jump of 2.32 metres. On this occasion, Tamberi jumped faultlessly up to 2.31m, before twice failing at 2.33m and once at 2.35m, although by this point he had already done enough to win the competition. Defending champion Zayas needed three attempts to get ov...

    The Banskobystrická latka is a World Athletics Indoor Tour Silver level meeting. Some of the Gold level meetings were unable to accommodate a men's high jump competition – one of the scoring disciplines for this year – due to Covid restrictions, so to allow for an extra scoring opportunity, the men’s high jump contest in Banska Bystrica will count towards the scoring in the Gold series.
