The 2025 World Athletics Indoor Track and Field Championships in Nanjing China began on March 20 in the United States and March 21 in China. 

The first session of the three days included the start of the Pentathlon and the finals in the Men’s Triple Jump. Andy Díaz Hernández took the world lead and won gold in the Men's Triple Jump with a leap of 17.8.

A full rundown of the first session is available HERE and results are available HERE.

Throughout today's second session of action, we wrote moment-by-moment updates of the action. Re-live day one, session two below.

Notably, American's earned two bronze medals during session two. Chase Jackson finished third in the shot put with her throw of 20.06m. She nearly stole second with a last throw effort, but missed the marked by .01m. Canadian Sarah Mitton took gold in that event.

Then in the women's pentathlon, Taliyah Brooks held on for bronze with her 4669 points.

Other notable finishers for Team USA include Eli Kosiba. He finished fourth in the men's high jump and narrowly missed bettering his NCAA DII record.
