Georgia Hunter Bell will chase her first major international title when she leads Great Britain’s medal hopes at the European Athletics Indoor Championships in Apeldoorn, the Netherlands.
Olympic bronze medallist Hunter Bell will line up as the fastest European woman over 1500m this year when the heats take place during the opening session on Thursday evening.
Elsewhere, Norway’s Jakob Ingebrigtsen will bid to make history by taking his tally of European indoor golds to seven with a third consecutive 1500m and 3,000m double at the championships.
Great Britain finished third in the medal table with three golds and six medals overall in 2023, but title-winners Keely Hodgkinson, Laura Muir and Jazmin Sawyers are all absent through injury this time around.
Another British medal hope, world indoor pole vault champion Molly Caudery, has chosen to focus on the World Indoor Championships later this month as she manages a minor calf problem.
The 2025 European Indoor Championships will feature wavelight technology – the LED pacing system on the inside of the track – after European Athletics approved its use in a competitive setting in Apeldoorn.
