On March 4, Beijing time, the 2024 World Indoor Track and Field Championships concluded in Glasgow, England. This three-day track and field feast was full of highlights and excitement.
The men’s 60-meter trapeze battle was undoubtedly the highlight of this event. In the end, American star Coleman won the championship with a time of 6.41 seconds, setting the best time in the world this year. Last year’s World Championships “Triple Crown” Lyles in Budapest finished runner-up by 0.03 seconds.
The men’s 60m world record is 6.34 seconds set by Coleman in 2018. At the 2019 World Championships in Doha, Coleman won the men’s 100m championship, but he was later suspended for one year and zero for allegedly evading a doping test. 6 months, missed the Tokyo Olympics. At last year’s World Championships in Budapest, Lyles became the first man after Bolt to win three gold medals in the men’s 100m, 200m and 4×100m at the same World Championships. Moreover, before this Indoor Track and Field Championships, this year’s World Championships Lyles’ best time was 6.43 seconds. This peak showdown between Coleman and Lyles has become the biggest attraction.
The men’s 60-meter competition consists of three shots per day, divided into preliminaries, semi-finals and finals. Coleman’s three shots were 6 seconds 49, 6 seconds 43 and 6 seconds 41. After losing to Italy’s Jacobs by 0.003 seconds at the last World Indoor Championships, the American star competed in Glasgow this time. He regained the World Indoor Championship title after 6 years.
Not only that, this World Indoor Championships also set two world records.
In the women’s 400m final, the Dutch girl took the top two places. Among them, the famous player Boer won the championship in 49.17 seconds and set a new world indoor record. This is the third time since 2023 that she has broken the world record in this event.
In February 2023, at the Dutch Indoor Track and Field Championships in Apeldoorn, the Netherlands, Bol broke the indoor world record for this event that had stood for nearly 41 years with a time of 49.26 seconds. On February 18 this year, at the Dutch Indoor Track and Field Championships in Apeldoorn, Bol ran 49.24 seconds, improving his own women’s 400-meter indoor world record by 0.02 seconds. This time in Glasgow, she once again rewrote the world record. After the game, the “Flying Dutchman” said: “It’s great to set a world record again. I originally hoped to run under 49 seconds… My coach also thought I could do it. Although I failed to do so, I want the gold medal more.”
Another world record was set in the women’s 60-meter hurdles. Charlton of the Bahamas won the championship in an astonishing 7.65 seconds, once again breaking her own world record. The original record was 7.67 seconds she set on February 11 this year.

In the men’s shot put final, American player Kruse won the championship with 22.77 meters and broke the tournament record, only 5 centimeters away from the world indoor record he held. Kruse, who holds two gold medals in the Olympics (Rio de Janeiro in 2016 and Tokyo in 2021) and the World Championships (Eugene in 2022 and Budapest in 2023), finally filled the void of the indoor track and field world championship title and completed the “gold medal” Grand Slam”.
