The best and brightest in European athletics will head to Apeldoorn, Netherlands this week for four days of non-stop action at the European Athletics Indoor Championships.
The Championships will be headlined by local star and world indoor 400m champion Femke Bol, while four Olympic champions from last year including 5000m champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen and high jump gold medallist Yaroslava Mahuchikh will also be in the fight for more silverware.
Other big names to watch include the Dutch Olympic mixed relay champions, with Bol leading the squad, though Great Britain’s Molly Caudery, who is the reigning world indoor pole vault champion, will skip the event due to a calf injury and focus on the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Nanjing, China later this month.
Team GB have medal hopes in Georgia Hunter Bell, Neil Gourley and George Mills, with the athletes gearing up for the start of the outdoor season, which culminates in September’s World Championships in Tokyo.
