World Indoor Athletics World Championships in 2025
Nanjing, China Dates: 21-23 March
At the Nanjing, China, World Athletics Indoor Championships will be led by Neil Gourley of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
The Scottish 1500-meter runner, age 30, placed fourth last week in the European Indoors after placing second in the 2023 race.
He broke the Birmingham indoor record for the longest time in 1, 000 meters in February.
From March 21 through March 23, the Glaswegian will lead an 11-person team to win the championship.
Gourley, who placed sixth overall at the 2022 World Indoors, said, “I’m taking it as a compliment and really happy they have confidence in me in that regard.”
“I hope to make the team feel optimistic.”
We are all invested in what other teams do at these championships, so I hope I can at least inspire that environment and lead by example.
I wouldn’t claim to have all the wisdom my team-mates can impart to them because the level is so high even to be present at the Worlds.
