Men's pole vaulter world record holder Mondo Duplantis, women's Olympic 800m champion Keely Hodgkinson and Julien Alfred, who won gold and silver in the 100 and 200m respectively at Paris 2024. Duplantis is arguably the biggest athlete on the planet right now. The 15-time world record holder first broke new ground in Torun six years as a 20-year-old and will have another new height in his sights after soaring over 6.31m a week ago in his native
Sweden. Hodgkinson broke the indoor 800m women's world record recently and
has high hopes for gold, while British compatriot Georgia Hunter Bell goes in the 1500m. Another Brit, Jeremiah Azu defends his world indoor 60m crown.

Alfred is favorite in the women's 60m, but won't have it all her own way,
with Italys Zaynab Dosso and Luxembourgs Patrizia van der Weken her main challengers.

Arguably the most stacked field comes in the women's high jump. Okraine's Olympic champion Yaroslava Mahuchikh, world champion Nicola Olyslagers of Australia and Serbias Angelina Topic are all capable of jumping two meters plus. Don't miss it.
