Particular World Cups, due to their late inclusion in the calendar and because they had to have celebrated five years ago. Pandemia prevented it but will finally be played. They are the World Cups around Nanjing (China) that start this next morning, Spanish time, and that do just two weeks after the Indoor Europeans were settled. A concatenation of commitments that has made participation lower in number to other editions. There was Short Track World Cup, as it is now called, last year, east and also in 2026. A reef to put their virtually unbeatable athletes boots. There, at the head of operations, there will be Swedish pertiguist Armand Duplantis. He resigned from the European Championship, arrives after raising his world record at 6.27 meters and has no one to have him. At 25 years at home, two Olympic golds already look, two world -wide world golds and two on covered track. Everything that does not add the triplet would be a morrocotuda surprise.
More competition in theory will have another of the big names present in China, the Norwegian Jakob Ingóbritgsen. He comes from taking a walk in the park in the European where he achieved the triumph in 1,500 and 3,000 and will look for gold in these same distances. He has been Olympic and Outdoor Champion in the air but lacks a universal title on a roof. It is the great favorite both in 1,500 and 3,000, although athletes such as the Scottish Neil Gourley, the Portuguese Isaac Nader, the Ethiopian Samuel Tefera or the British George Mills will try to take advantage of some loophole that leaves the Norwegian, which sometimes sins of pride.

Grant Holloway has eleven years without losing a race of 60 meters fences
Although if Duplantis and Ingebrigtsen are dominators, the one who takes the palm on a roof is the American Grant Holloway. He accumulates eleven years without losing a race in the 60 meters fences, test in which he already has two world golds.
They are three of the figures present in the male category. In females many of the looks will be fixed in the Ethiopaf Tsegay, worldwide high -ceiling of 1,500 and 5,000 outdoors. He will seek to win in the “MILQUI”, something he already did in 2022. Also in that edition, in Belgrade, the Ukrainian height jumper Yaroslava Mahuchikh was imposed, unique to rise this year above two meters. Comes from winning in the European
The Spanish Ana Peleteiro
The Ethiopian Gudaf Tsegay in 1,500 and the Ukrainian Yaroslava Mahuchikh in height, main female referents
As for Spanish participation, it only has 13 athletes. The most prominent of them is the tripler Ana Peleteiro, who hung the gold in the European championship and also aspires to the podium in China. It will not be easy. The Cubans Pérez Hernández and Liadagmis Povea will fight with her. All will try to take advantage of the absence of the great Yulimar Rojas to hunt the title. Marta García (3,000), Esther Guerrero (1,500) or Fatima Diame (length) are some of the other Spanish competitors. In boys Mariano García and Adrián Ben rise away and will be broken in 1,500 while Elvin Josué Canales will look to compensate for the European in 800. Beyond Peleteiro, it will be complex to produce some other Spanish medal in a championship that will end on Sunday.
