Overview

• Jeremiah Azu won the World Indoor 60m gold medal in Nanjing with a personal best time of 6.49 seconds, narrowly beating Australia's Lachlan Kennedy (6.50 seconds) and South Africa's Akani Simbine (6.54 seconds).
• This marks Azu's first global title and builds on his earlier success as the European Indoor Champion in the same event this year.
• Azu credits his resurgence to reuniting with his childhood coach, Helen James, and finding new motivation after the birth of his son, Azaire.
• The victory follows a challenging period for Azu, including injuries, a coaching change, and uncertainty about his indoor season just weeks prior to the event.
• Azu now plans to focus on training for the outdoor season, with the World Championships in Tokyo later this year as his next major target.
