Only 13 athletes in Team Britain for the World Athletics Indoor Championships

Olympic bronze medalist Georgia Bell will lead a small British team to the World Athletics Indoor Championships later this month.

Thirteen British athletes will head to Nanjing, China. Georgia Bell, 31, who reached the Olympic podium in Paris has now left her job in cybersecurity to focus on athletics again.

The World Indoor Championships are the second major championships to be held this month. The European Indoor Championships concluded just days ago in Apeldoorn, where Great Britain won a total of seven medals.

Four of those medalists will head to China for the Worlds. Men’s 60m champion Jeremiah Azu and bronze medallist Andrew Robertson will again compete in the shorter sprints, European bronze medalist Revee Walcott-Nolan joins Georgia Bell in the women’s 1500m, and George Mills is hoping to equal or even improve on his European silver in the men’s 3000m.

Amy Hunt, part of Great Britain’s women’s 4x100m relay team that won silver at Paris 2024 Olympics, will compete in the 60m, while Olympic bronze medallist in the women’s 4x400m relay Amber Anning will run the women’s 400m.

The pole vault competitor Molly Caudery, who withdrew from the European Indoor Championships, was one of only two British women to win a gold medal at the 2024 World Indoor Championships in Glasgow. She will look to defend her title in China.
