Kishane Thompson takes silver in 60m final at World Indoors
KINGSTON, Jamaica — Kishane Thompson ran a personal best 6.45 seconds to take silver in the men’s 60m on Friday’s opening day of the World Athletics Indoor Championships at Kujawsko-Pomorska Arena in Toruń, Poland.
It was his third straight silver in consecutive global championships after he was second in the men’s 100m at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, France and the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, Japan in 2025.
Bryan Levell, the second Jamaican in the race, slowed down after about 30 metres and crossed the line in 7.69 seconds in seventh place.
American Jordan Anthony created an upset when he won the gold medal in a world-leading 6.41 seconds, while his compatriot Trayvon Bromell was third in 6.45 seconds, the same time as Thompson.
