Josh Kerr Commits to World Athletics Indoor Championships, Boosting British Hopes

World 1500m champion Josh Kerr has decided to compete in the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Glasgow providing a significant boost to British athletics. Despite initially being undecided due to his focus on the Paris Olympics, Kerr will run in the 3,000m event facing strong competitors like world indoor record holder Lamecha Girma and US champion Yared Nuguse.

Notably, there won’t be a rematch with Jakob Ingebrigtsen, who is recovering from an Achilles injury. The British squad, led by Olympic head coach Paula Dunn includes notable athletes such as Laura Muir and Jemma Reekie with Molly Caudery considered a strong medal contender in the women’s pole vault.

Some notable names like Keely Hodgkinson, Dina Asher-Smith and Katarina Johnson-Thompson have opted to skip the event to focus on Paris Olympics preparations. The 21 strong British squad has a mix of experienced global medallists and emerging athletes.
