In the action-filled Olympic year, it is time to welcome the biggest indoor tussle, the World Indoor Championships 2024 in Glasgow. Since the beginning, the brewing rivalries between Noah Lyles and Christian Coleman have made enough advertisements for this championship. But it would be slightly ignoring if the pole-vault feuds between Katie Moon and Sandi Morris go undescribed. Both the American phenoms are facing each other for the third time this year, keeping one victory talking for themselves. But Sandie Morris has landed in Glasgow for making a hat trick of World Indoor Championship titles. So, stiff competition is waiting for track and field sports lovers. However, on the first day of the championship, March 1, both sessions will hold some serious fights with fresh American challenges. 

In the first session, the Women’s final in the Shot Put event will hold the focus. Chase Jackson will hold the bar from the American side. In the second session, the onus will be on Ryan Crouser and the American superathletes, Noah Lyles and Christian Coleman to grab the momentum of the sports lovers. So, let’s hop in the razzmatazz, as this time the championship promises to be bigger than the Beograd edition of 2022.
