Kerr Regains World Indoor 3,000m Gold Medal in Poland

On Saturday, Britain's Josh Kerr won the men's 3,000m at the world indoor championships in Torun, Poland, clocking 7min 35.56sec and finishing 0.14sec ahead of Cole Hocker, USA.
Kerr moved through the pack to Hocker's shoulder in fifth, then struck at the bell to launch the final-lap sprint that decided the race.
With nine laps remaining, the Ethiopian pair of Addisu Yihune and Getnet Wale surged before colliding with two laps left, disrupting leaders and splitting the field through the halfway mark, as the race unfolded at the 15-lap men's 3,000m at the world indoors, Torun.
Kerr's victory secures a second world indoor title, achieving the repeat he had been eyeing since Glasgow, while Hocker missed his first world indoor crown after leaving too much to do late.
The field featured multiple Olympic and world medallists, including the full men's 1500m podium from the 2024 Olympics, with Yared Nuguse finishing fifth behind Kenya's Jacob Krop and France's Yann Schrub claiming bronze.
