STOCKHOLM, Sweden — A constellation of Jamaican sprinting talent is poised to electrify the track at the upcoming BAUHAUS-galan Indoor meet this Thursday. The event, a prestigious stop on the World Athletics Indoor Tour Silver circuit, will feature an impressive Jamaican contingent including world 100m silver medalist Kishane Thompson and the formidable Clayton twins, Tina and Tia.
The official start lists, released Monday, confirm the athletes’ participation, setting the stage for a high-caliber competition. The entry is headlined by Tia Clayton, who arrives in Stockholm boasting the current world-leading time in the 60m event. Clayton cemented her top status this past Saturday at the Anderson/Fuller meet held at GC Foster College in Jamaica, where she blazed to a new personal best of 7.02 seconds.
Her twin sister, Tina Clayton, a fellow World Championships silver medalist, adds further depth to the Jamaican delegation, promising a compelling narrative on the track.
On the men’s side, Kishane Thompson enters the competition in scintillating form. Fresh off a victory at the same Jamaican meet, Thompson clocked a time of 6.52 seconds in the 60m, a mark that currently ties him for the third-fastest time in the world this indoor season. This performance signals a strong return to form for the athlete, who experienced relay disappointment at the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo.
The BAUHAUS-galan is now positioned as a critical early-season test for these elite athletes, offering a glimpse of their preparedness as the international athletics calendar progresses.
