KINGSTON, Jamaica — Rohan Watson delivered a solid performance in the World Athletics Indoor Championships. He was participating in the opening day of the men’s 60m final. He finished fifth with a time of 6.59 seconds. The event was held in the Nanjing Cube in Nanjing, China.

Watson made two remarkable runs in the preliminary rounds. He was hoping to perform as well as Ackeem Blake did in 2024 when he secured a bronze medal in Glasgow, Scotland. He will have to be satisfied with his placing.

Jeremiah Azu; who is a gold medal winner in Great Britain’s European Indoor Championships, registered a personal best time of 6.49 seconds. This performance earned him a gold medal. The second position went to Australia’s Lachlan Kennedy who finished with a time of 6.50 seconds. The third position was taken by South Africa’s Akani Simbine who recorded a time of 6.54 seconds. This was the first time that Simbine was running in an indoors event.
