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.

On the other lane, Ackeem Blake has taken his chance in 6.46 clocking. This is your unforgettable 60m bunch of champions from the night.

This is a clear domination from the US camp in the 60m event in the World Indoor Championship platform after many years.

4:50 PM: Medal Ceremonies

The day clearly belonged to the American athletes. Ryan Crouser was able to break his World Indoor Championship medal jinx. On the other hand, Christian Coleman used the same stage to prove his supremacy in the 60m event, where once he lost his momentum after facing a disproportionate defeat 2 years ago. Otherwise, the day went well for the regular champions like Femke Bol, Karsten Warholm, Lieke Klever, and Noor Vidts. However, it was just the first day. For the next two days, many more actions are yet to come.

Chari Hawkins from the USA uncaps the day in the 60mH event. Her personal best goes for 8.16 secs.

Maria Vicente from Spain has burned the opponents at the event of 60mH. The last moment-acceleration helped her complete the event in 8.07 seconds, keeping behind the British opponent.

Now, it’s time to witness the 400m heat event in the women’s category. Andrea Miklos is taking her time outside the lane to store her breath for the upcoming event. Glasgow is having 4 heats to choose the best ones for the next step in the 400m event. Meanwhile, the American beholders Noah Lyles and Grant Holloway are repeating their camaraderie in the indoor arena in practice in 60m.

Laviai Nielsen from the UK has captured the first position in the 400m heat in the women’s category whereas Miklos has grabbed the second position.

The second heat in the 400m is currently active. Dutch sprinter Lieke Klaver earned the position comfortably in the event. the 2023 World Champion did not have to face as she steadily managed her pace to keep herself in the position. It was all about the caliber she held in the event.

The third heat event is pacing right now. It could be a photo finish. Talitha Diggs has earned the first position in this heat. The next three positions are yet to be confirmed. Henriette Jaeger is holding the second position. It might be a joint position, as the situation is panning out.

Sharlene Mawdsley is taking the third position with the same clocking as the Norwegian sprinter took.

Now, it is time for Femke Bol to take up the stage. Right now, she has the world-leading time in the event. The first 200m has been crossed in 21.37 seconds, quite slower than other heats. Bol, Holmes, and Young have earned the top three positions in the heat. so, in the semi-final, you can expect a perfect feud between the world champion and the American challenge and the arch-rival Jamaican sprinters.

Karsten Warholm is taking his stride for the men’s heat in the 400m event right now. The reigning world champion has already earned praise from Noah Lyles before coming to the World Indoor Championship of 2024. The ephemeral Viking holds so much poise that after devouring the opponents, the world champion is now all in sharing the autographs in the gallery. He has just finished his seasonal best 46.68 timing in the 400m indoor event. As the rule dictates, the four best time-holders from the heats will step into the semi-final event in the 400m of the World Indoor Championship 2024.

In the second heat, the first half was covered in 21.75. However, Matej Krsek increased his pace in the next half to cover the distance in 46.07 seconds to stay at the top.

The clock has now shifted to hold the women’s shotput event’s final. Two-time World Champion Chase Jackson is practicing her move once again. All she will be looking for is to keep her hands on her World Indoor Championship medal in Glasgow.

In the third heat of the 400m men’s event in Glasgow, Attila Molnar was in the top position. He continued his form by taking 46.52 seconds to secure his berth in the semifinal of the event. However, the man on the mission from Trinidad & Tobago, Jereem Richards, has entered the semifinal berth with his fourth position in the heat event.

The fourth heat event has also come to an end. American national champion Brian Faust has earned the qualification mark by winning the third position in the heat. On the other hand, the Belgian champion could ask for the top position in the event.

Here are the qualified men for the 400m event semifinal in the Glasgow World Championship, 2024 :

Now it is the time to witness the shot put final in the women’s category. Amelia Campbell is lagging in front of her home crowd. Both the throws have revolved under the 18m. Chase Jackson is strolling in the 19.67 margin, after Yemisi Ogunleye. Jessica Schilder is yet to close the gap with Chase. The European Champion has attempted two throws till now and both identical throws have fallen short to disturb Chase’s position so far.

Meanwhile, here is the list of the participants at the women’s 400m indoor event in Glasgow.

In the Pentathlon event, Noor Vidts is almost boxing the top-standing Bianca Salming in the ongoing battle.

On the other hand, Sarah Mitton is slowly dismissing Chase Jackson in the shot put final. Currently, the Canadian is in the second position, pushing the American 2x World Champion into the third position.

Jessica Schilder has now moved to the fourth position in the shot put final, just breathing her air behind Chase Jackson. The fight between the three of Chase, Schilder, and Mitton prompted to be the chief attraction of the shot put event in the World Indoor Championship 2024. However, Yemisi Ogunleye has been doing her best so far to keep this bunch of numero unos behind.

Till now, apart from Yemisi, no one could take down the 20m barrier in the event this evening.

However, I think I have just jinxed Yemisi Ogunleye as she has slipped into the second position as Sarah Mitton has grabbed the top position with the 20.20 attempt in the shot put event final in the World Indoor Championship, 2024. Remember, Sarah Mitton is yet to see heartbreak this year, gaining the top podium in five titles.

Here’s the list to take a look at all those names who will soon lock horns in the 800m semi in women’s category:

Chase Jackson is yet to catch the 20m glory this evening in Glasgow. The shot putters are already on their way to attempting the fifth throw.

The Kenyan Noah Kibet claimed his semifinal berth in the 800m indoor event as the second heat of the event has just concluded. However, in the 800m semifinal, the American challenge will enlist as Bryce Hoppel.

Jessica Schilder has failed to produce her world-leading throw in Glasgow as in the medal run, she has just bowed out. Ogunleye has earned her silver, whereas Sarah Mitton has extended her victory to the sixth medal by winning the World Indoor Championship in Glasgow. Chase Jackson now has to be satisfied with the bronze medal.

Everyone is going ga-ga over Noah Lyles’s confidence in grabbing all the medals as he already announced this year. The Dutch sprinting veteran Dafne Schippers has batted for his ameliorated confidence level this year. However, tonight the American World Champion will face his 60m-arch rival Christian Coleman again. To mark his confidence, Lyles will get his two timings (6.43 and 6.44) backing his side against the 60m indoor world record holder American compatriot.

Ferdinand Omenyala will be there in the 60m heat event to challenge the American duo. This season, Omenyala has registered his 60m timing, marking 6.51. In the absence of Kelvin Kiptum, he is on the fore to maintain the reins of the Kenyan side on the opening day of the World Indoor Championship in Glasgow.

Glasgow Arena is now welcoming the World Champion Noah Lyles as he is heading to the 60m heat event in the World Indoor Championship 2024. He has stormed into the semifinal with the timing of 6.57 timing. The average starting was also here, in Glasgow. But that could not create problems for the American star as he comfortably landed in the semifinal of the 60m indoor event.

Meanwhile, take a look at all the 800m qualified men for the later semi-final event:

In heat 2, Henrik Larson earned the top position with a timing, of 6.59 in the 60m indoor event. Malachi Murray and Kayhan Ozer came in the second and third positions.

The arena is now all about to keep space for the heat in the 60m event. Chituru Ali claimed victory over the brawn sprinter, Immanuel Matadi as they earned the top two positions. Sergio Lopez grabbed the qualification keeping himself in third place. Ali’s victory came at 6.59 timing.

Remember, Noah’s timing in the heat 1 is still at the top position.

The heat 4 is already rolling on with Omanyala on the list. Ferdinand Omanyala just crossed Noah Lyles as he took 6.52 to stay ahead of the pack. Omanyala almost survived his disqualification from the event for a technical reason. however, Shuhei Tada joined him at the same time, making a national record.

In heat 5, Emmanuel Eseme earned the qualification for the 60m semi-final with 6.54, a national record.

Christian Coleman will come in the heat 6 of the 60m indoor event. The American champion already holds the 60m indoor record of 6.34 and he grabbed the silver medal last time in the Belgrade World Indoor Championship in 2022. Coleman evaporated Omanyala as the former one completed the race in 6.49 seconds. This came out as the fastest heat so far as the top-5 finishers ran in the 6.50-sub category timing.

The heat 7 is also moving ahead now to give further names for the semi-final. Ackeem Blake, the Jamaican challenger to the American luminaries in the 60m crossed the final ribbon in the 6.55 timing. Jan Volko stopped at the second position with a timing of 6.59 (his personal best).
