Competition will once again be fierce at the Orlen Copernicus Cup in Torun on Sunday (16) in what will be the penultimate Gold level meeting on the 2025 World Athletics Indoor Tour.

Wild card entries for next month’s World Indoor Championships in Nanjing are on the line in the 11 scoring disciplines on this year’s tour, and it’s still all to play for in most of those.

World indoor silver medallist Ewa Swoboda carries the hopes and expectations of the home crowd into the women’s 60m, but she’ll be up against tour leader Patrizia van der Weken, the in-form sprinter from Luxembourg who defeated Swoboda in Ostrava recently.

World indoor bronze medallist Zaynab Dosso could also challenge for the victory, while 2022 world indoor champion Mujinga Kambundji and rising Australian talent Torrie Lewis cannot be discounted.
