Arabic version: بريطانيا العظمى تحقق ثلاث ميداليات ذهبية تاريخية في البطولات الداخلية
Great Britain made history at the World Athletics Indoor Championships by winning three gold medals in just 28 minutes, marking the team’s best performance at the event. Georgia Hunter Bell initiated the medal spree by clinching her first global title in the 1500m, followed by Molly Caudery’s victory in pole vault, and concluding with Keely Hodgkinson’s dominant win in the women’s 800m final.
According to BBC News, Hunter Bell’s gold came as she overtook Ethiopia’s Birke Haylom on the final lap, finishing with a time of three minutes 58.53 seconds. Caudery, who had already secured silver, reclaimed her title with a clearance of 4.85 metres, marking a triumphant return to the top.
This achievement surpasses Great Britain’s previous record of three golds set in 1999, solidifying this championship as the most successful for the British team. Hunter Bell, the team captain, has now earned five major international medals, with four of them being at the global level. Her persistence paid off after a challenging return to the sport in 2022 following a five-year break.
Hodgkinson, the Olympic champion and world record holder, further solidified her status by winning her first World Indoors gold, ensuring a memorable night for the British athletics team. Following Josh Kerr’s 3,000m triumph the previous day, the team celebrated an unprecedented medal haul in Torun, Poland.
