NANJING DAY 1

QUOTE OF THE DAY

Andy Díaz Hernández: “My plan was never to jump only once. I felt strong to set a new record, but it didn’t happen this time. There was a very long wait in between jumps, so I was quite inactive for too long and this led to the decision of skipping the following attempts. But, I feel strong, and this is indicative that good jumps could happen this summer. Jumping 18 metres us is a benchmark that all triple jumpers aspire and aim for – 18 metres and a bit further than that, of course. To be honest, when the competition is tighter your body reacts differently. There is a different feeling to it, a different type of emotion. There is no doubt that we were missing some of the global elite athletes – like Pedro [Pichardo] and Jordan [Díaz], but had they been here today, I would have still taken this world indoor title. That was what I came here for, but I am looking forward to competing against them in the summer.”

RESULT OF THE DAY

European Indoor champion Andy Díaz Hernández leaped to Italian national record and world lead of 17.80 in the triple jump first series and clearly won also the World Indoor title, with his only successful attempt (posting two fails and three skipped). He moved to tenth position in the European all-time lists.

SURPRISE OF THE DAY

23-year-old Jamaican Raymond Richards won the bronze medal in the high jump, clearing 228 – his second best performance all-time, at his first ever global championships. He started the 2025 season with a lifetime best of 225 and improved to 230 earlier this month at an outdoor meet in Jamaica.
