Find out everything you need to know about the competition below.

When and where will the Birmingham World Indoor Tour Final take place?

The final of this year’s series takes place in the Utilita Arena in Birmingham on Saturday 25 February. The 15,800-capacity arena has hosted a number of high-profile events in the past, including the 2022 Commonwealth Games and the 2018 IAAF World Indoor Championships. 

Saturday’s showpiece is the final meet in a seven-event gold tour series, with winners having the opportunity to secure wildcard entries for the 2024 World Athletics Indoor Championships. 

The action begins at 14:30pm CET (13:30 local time) and ends at 16:50pm CET (15:50 local time).

Athletes to watch in the Birmingham World Indoor Tour Final

One of the most highly-anticipated events in the final is the women’s 60m, where world 200m champion Shericka Jackson of Jamaica will take on home favourite and 2019 World 200m champion Dina Asher-Smith and Daryll Neita over the shorter sprint distance. Jackson became the second-fastest female 200m runner of all time - and fastest woman over the distance alive - when she crossed the line in 21.45 seconds at the 2022 World Athletics Championships in Oregon. She also won bronze in the 100m at Tokyo 2020 .

While Asher-Smith has suffered with injuries over the past two years, her performance at last year’s Worlds, where she won the bronze medal in the 200m, will give her confidence in the 2023 season with a second World Championships in as many years scheduled to take place in Budapest in August. But keep an eye on Neita, who was recently crowned British 60m indoor champion following a personal best run of 7.05 seconds in Berlin the week before.

“I read my coach comparing me to a supercar and he is right - I am revved up and ready to go,” she said after her home championships victory. Could this be the year she establishes herself as one of the best in the world?

In the men’s 60m hurdles, world record holder Grant Holloway will once again aim high as he continues on his personal quest to become the “ greatest ” hurdler in history. 

The 25-year-old enjoyed a stellar 2022 that included gold in the 110m hurdles at the World Championships and victory in the Indoor Worlds. He will face off against the current world no. 2 Daniel Roberts , with his fellow American looking to put a dent in Holloway’s aura of invincibility. 

The Birmingham crowd will celebrate the presence of a strong British contingent who will be seeking victories on home soil, including World and Olympic 800m silver medallist Keely Hodgkinson (800m) and Olympic 1500m silver medallist Laura Muir , with the latter competing over the 1000m distance. Olympic 1500m bronze medallist Josh Kerr will also race in Birmingham. 

Also keep a close eye on the women’s 3000m and a world record attempt by Ethiopia’s Gudaf Tsegay , the reigning world 5000 champion and Olympic 5000m bronze medallist. She is in hot form coming into the event after registering the second-fastest mile time in history when she crossed the line in 4:16.16 recently in Torun.

Hodgkinson returns to birmingham for world indoor tour final.

Keely Hodgkinson is set to return to the scene of her 1:57.20 800m when she lines up in the Birmingham World Indoor Tour Final, the climax of the 2023 World Athletics Indoor Tour Gold s eries, at the Utilita Arena on 25 February.

The 20-year-old Olympic and world silver medallist broke the British indoor record with that performance at this year’s meeting in Birmingham, running the fastest indoor time for 20 years. It is a mark that puts her sixth on the world indoor all-time list.

With the 2022 indoor season setting Hodgkinson up for an outdoor season of medal wins at the World Athletics Championships Oregon22, Commonwealth Games and European Championships, she will again take on some of the best in the world in Birmingham, wanting a similar springboard to success for 2023.

“The Indoor Grand Prix earlier this year was an incredible experience as it was one of the first big crowd atmospheres I had experienced coming out of the pandemic. I’ve no doubt the atmosphere at the Arena, with that amazing crowd, played a big part in helping me run fast and I can’t wait to feel that support again,” said Hodgkinson.

“I’ve got high expectations for what I want to achieve in 2023 and I know that starting off strongly with a great indoor season will really get the ball rolling.”

The Birmingham World Indoor Tour Final is the last of the seven meetings that in 2023 will make up the World Athletics Indoor Tour Gold series. The season starts in Karlsruhe, Germany, on 27 January before stops in Boston, Torun, New York, Lievin, Madrid and then Birmingham.

The women’s 800m is among the scoring disciplines on the World Athletics Indoor Tour Gold for 2023. Each athlete’s best three results will count towards their overall point score. The athlete with the most points in each scoring discipline at the end of the tour will be declared the winner and will be awarded a USD$10,000 bonus. They will also be offered a wild card entry for the World Athletics Indoor Championships Glasgow 24.
