Olympic bronze medallist Georgia Hunter Bell is in Great Britain’s team for this month’s World Athletics Indoor Championships in China.<\/p>\n

Hunter Bell claimed bronze in the 1500m on her Olympic debut<\/a> at Paris 2024, three years after she returned to the sport.<\/p>\n

The 31-year-old has since left her job in cyber security to focus full time on athletics.<\/p>\n

She will race in the women’s 1500m at the event in Nanjing from 21-23 March along with team-mate Revee Walcott-Nolan, who took bronze at the European Athletics Indoor Championships in the Netherlands last weekend.<\/p>\n

Amy Hunt, part of Britain’s 4x100m women’s relay squad that won silver at Paris 2024, has also been named in the party and will take part in the 60m.<\/p>\n

Jeremiah Azu, bronze medallist in the men’s 4x100m at last year’s Games, will contest the same distance in the men’s event.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old claimed men’s 60m gold <\/a>at the European Indoors last Saturday with a personal best of 6.49 seconds.<\/p>\n

Andy Robertson will also take part in the 60m after he picked up the bronze medal behind Azu at Apeldoorn arena.<\/p>\n

Pole vaulter Molly Caudery, who pulled out of the European Indoors as a precuation, was one of only two British women to win a gold medal at the 2024 World Indoors in Glasgow and will attempt to defend her crown in China.<\/p>\n

Olympic 4x400m relay bronze medal winner Amber Anning will take part in the women’s 400m, Innes FitzGerald is set to contest the 3,000m and Funminiyi Olajide the long jump.<\/p>\n

George Mills will race in the men’s 3,000m on the back of a silver medal in Apeldoorn on Sunday, Adam Fogg and Neil Gourley are inked in for the 1500m while Scott Lincoln will take part in the shot put.<\/p>\n

The World Indoors usually take place every two years, but the event in Nanjing was rescheduled from 2020 to 2021 and then to 2023 because of the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

Glasgow hosted the event in 2024 and, with the bid process having already begun for the 2026 edition, Nanjing was allocated 2025.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
