Back for its 21st annual edition, the 2026 World Athletics Indoor Championships are bringing the heat to Poland this weekend.

A myriad of Olympic medalists and Team USA athletes will be competing for honors at the Kujawkso-Pomorska Arena in Torun, including Cole Hocker, Anna Hall, Mondo Duplantis, Jasmine Moore and Yared Nuguse, to name a few. 

Paris Olympic 1500m gold medalist and 5000m world champion Hocker could become just the second American to win global titles at 1500m, 3000m and 5000m this weekend.
