Athletics: Thiam to Miss Indoor Season to Focus on Worlds

Nafi Thiam won her third consecutive Olympic heptathlon gold at the Paris Games last summer

Triple Olympic heptathlete champion Nafi Thiam will miss the indoor season to concentrate on the World Athletics Championships later in the year.

Thiam’s management confirmed she will not participate in the European Indoor and World Indoor Championships, which both take place in March.

The 30-year-old Belgian has won three European indoor pentathlon gold medals but has never secured a world indoor title.

She won gold at the Worlds in 2017 and 2022 but missed the 2023 championships in Budapest because of an Achilles tendon injury.

This year’s World Championships take place in Tokyo, Japan from 13-21 September.
